Using these taper candles is a breeze. Simply place them in a standard taper candlestick holder. They're perfect for adding a warm and inviting atmosphere to your birthday, wedding, or party. When lighting, make sure to keep them away from flammable materials and drafts. This will help them burn evenly for their 5 - 7 hour burn time. After use, let the candles cool completely before handling. To maintain their appearance, store them in a cool, dry place. And remember, this listing only includes the candles, so you'll need to provide your own holders and accessories.
