Our sculptural candles are designed for decorative use. However, if you do choose to light them up, please refer to the burning instructions and the general safety below. Due to the irregular shapes and sizes of our candles, burn time may vary. For burning purposes, make sure they are set on a bowl, plate, tray, or candleholder. -Never leave burning candles unattended. -Ensure you trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. -Do not position candles or fragrance products on or near TV cabinets, electrical items, or heat sources. -Keep candles out of reach of children and pets. -Let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts before re-lighting. -Never use a candle as a night light or while you may fall asleep. -Never use a candle during a power outage to look for things. -Store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight or intense light.
