Using these candles is super easy. Just place them in any standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick gently, and you'll have a warm, inviting glow for 8 - 9 hours. For safety, always keep the candles away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. When you're done using them, let the candles cool completely before moving them. To maintain their quality, store them in a cool, dry place.
