Using these taper candles is super easy. Just place them in any standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick, and enjoy the warm glow for 5 - 7 hours. For safety, always keep them away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. When the candles are burning, make sure to keep an eye on them. After use, let them cool completely before handling. To store, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent the wax from melting or deforming.
