Using these candles is easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick carefully with a match or lighter. For best results, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. Keep in mind that these candles burn for 5 - 7 hours, so you can enjoy a long - lasting glow. When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help keep the wax in good condition. And remember, this listing only includes the candles, so you'll need to have your own candlestick holders. Use them at birthdays, weddings, or parties to add a touch of elegance to your events.
