Using these taper candles is easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick carefully with a match or lighter. When using, keep them away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. After use, let the candles cool completely before handling. To keep them in good condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't bend or damage the wick, as it can affect the burning time and quality.
