Using these candles is easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick carefully with a match or lighter. These candles are great for adding a touch of elegance to your birthday, wedding, or party. When lighting, make sure the area around the candle is clear of flammable items. Keep them away from drafts as it can cause uneven burning. After use, let the candles cool completely before handling. To maintain their quality, store them in a cool, dry place.
