Care and Burning Instructions for Candles
Keep the wick trimmed to 1/8 inch to prevent smoking and carbon mushrooming. Retrim every 3 to 4 hours as the candle burns.
Burn in a draft free area clear of combustible materials such as curtains, books, baskets, etc.
Candles should be spaced apart while lit to prevent uneven burning.
Keep the burn pool clean, never throw matches into the candle.
Keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
Always place the candle on or in a non-combustible, heat-resistant base set on a level stable surface.
All votives should be burned in a proper votive holder. A good votive holder will not have any room between the candle and the sides of the holder. This will prolong the life of your candle, not using a holder will make your candle melt very quickly and unevenly.
NEVER move or leave the candle unattended while burning.
Melts/Tart Burning Tips

Unwrap and place the Wax Tart in the top of a dry oil burner - do not add water
Light a tea light candle in the base of the oil burner and allow the wax tart to melt - when melted the wonderful aroma of the tart will be released into the room
Don't forget to extinguish the tea light candle when leaving the room - never leave it unattended or within reach of children
When the wax tart has cooled it will solidify again, you can either re-use the tart or gently tap the sides of the burner and most times the wax tart will pop out. If not place the oil burner in the freezer for a short time and try again
You can discard the used wax tart or seal it in a plastic bag to re-use another time
Wax tarts can also be used in an electric oil burner, please ensure that you electric burner has been safety tested
Remember, burning wax tarts involves a candle flame and hot melted wax; these two things can be very dangerous, so take extreme care and enjoy the wonderful fragrances that are available in wax tarts.
