The Design

About Wonderful Travel Velas de cumpleaños infantiles

Wonderful Travel es un conjunto de velas de cumpleaños para niños inspirado en la temática de los viajes espaciales. El conjunto incluye seis personajes, cada uno con su nombre, su papel y su expresión, entre ellos astronautas, un inventor y un líder. Se incluyen accesorios a juego, como un gorro de cumpleaños. Las velas pueden colocarse a mano, igual que si fueran juguetes. Cada figura se modela e imprime en tres dimensiones y luego se reproduce con moldes de silicona rellenos de cera líquida que se enfrían en agua fría. Las velas terminadas están elaboradas con una mezcla de cera de abejas y cera de soja.
