Using these taper candles is super easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick carefully, and enjoy the warm glow for 6 - 8 hours. When lighting, make sure the candles are on a stable surface away from flammable objects. Don't leave them unattended while burning. After use, let the candles cool completely before handling. Store them in a cool, dry place to keep them in good condition. These candles are great for special occasions like birthdays, weddings, and parties, or just to add a nice touch to your daily table setting.
