Bouba is the soft and rounded version of the Candlelit Christmas Tree series — a gentle, cozy shape inspired by the “Bouba/Kiki” effect.

Designed to sit over a small LED tealight, the tree glows warmly from within while the candle base becomes its trunk. The result is a simple, elegant, and budget-friendly Christmas decoration that brings a calm, snowy charm to your space.

Experiment with white PLA for a frosted tree look, or with transparent filament for a magical icy-glass effect.

After printing, make a small central hole in the base to fit the LED flame.
