Using these taper candles is a breeze. Just place them in any standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick, and enjoy 8 - 9 hours of warm, unscented glow for your special occasions like birthdays, weddings, or parties. When handling the candles, be careful not to drop them as they can break. Keep them away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. To store, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or warping. Remember, these candles are non-returnable and non-refundable, so use them with care.
