Using these candles is super easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder and light the wick. For best results, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. While the candles are burning, keep them away from flammable materials, drafts, and children. After use, let the candles cool completely before moving them. To maintain their beauty, store them in a cool, dry place. Don't expose them to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the lavender lilac color.
