What you need for producing a charming tealight candle holder is just:

• Tealight model M23
• Some water, with less chlorine and low lime content, that is rested for 24 -36 hours
• 700 grams of quick-set mortar without acid

The dimensions of the produced tealight candle holder will be as following:

Height: 16 cm
Depth: 7 cm
Width: 9.8 cm
Candles with 3,8 - 4 cm diameter can be put the candle hole in the center of the product.
If you don't want to have tiny bubble holes on your tealight candle holders, please kick gently from its side to the mold, while you pour the mortar into it, to avoid bubbles.
To prepare mold for the casting,
first please cover the outer support shells around the silicone mold
and stabilize the support shells with file clamps or thick elastic rubber bands. 
Pour the mortar into the mold, from a 25-30 cm height, with thin flow.
 
Wait until the poured mortar sets (dries) in 15-30 minutes,
When the mortar is set and the concrete product is ready to demold;
first disassemble the outer shells and then gently demold the product from the concrete tealight mold.
 If needed, wipe the mold and the support shells with a wet napkin. 
Once your tealight candle holder is demolded, you can leave it as it is, to use in minimalist interiors.
Or you can decorate it in geometric designs as following with acrylic dye and bands:

1. Decide the geometric decor that you want to do;
2. Stick the bands (in desired widths) randomly over the concrete tealight candle holder;
3. Dye the empty spaces with paints in harmony with each other;
4. Wait until the dyes are dried, and then remove the bands.
