Using these taper candles is a breeze. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. They're great for adding a warm, inviting atmosphere to birthdays, weddings, parties, or just for everyday table decoration. When lighting the candles, make sure the wick is centered and trimmed to about 1/4 inch for a clean burn. Keep them away from flammable materials and drafts, as drafts can cause uneven burning. After use, let the candles cool completely before handling. To maintain their quality, store them in a cool, dry place. These candles are unscented, so they won't interfere with any other scents in the room. Enjoy the elegant touch they bring to your decor!
