Using these taper candles is easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. For birthdays, weddings, or parties, they'll create a warm and inviting atmosphere. When lighting, keep them away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. After use, let the candles cool completely before handling. To maintain their quality, store them in a cool, dry place. Enjoy the long 8 - 9 hour burn time and the elegant touch they bring to your upscale settings.
