Using these taper candles is super easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick carefully with a match or lighter. For a safer and more enjoyable experience, keep them away from flammable materials and drafts. When you're done using them, let the candles cool completely before handling. To maintain them, store them in a cool, dry place. This will help keep their shape and color, so you can use them again for your next special occasion.
