Using these taper candles is easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick carefully, and enjoy the warm glow for 6 - 8 hours. When handling the candles, be gentle to avoid breakage. Keep them away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. After use, let the candles cool completely before moving them. To store, keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain their quality.
