Using these taper candles is easy. Just place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. Light the wick carefully with a match or a lighter. For safety, always keep the candles away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. When you're done using the candles, let them cool completely before handling. To maintain the candles, store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can cause the wax to melt or deform.
