Decorative Candles
Our decorative candles are designed for decorative use. However, if you do choose to light them up, burn time may vary due to the irregular shapes and sizes.
Burning instructions
• Remove the tag and any decorations on the candle before lighting.- If you want to maximize the burning time, always trim the wick to 5mm - Keep candle free of any foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings.
• When not in use, place your candle away from direct sunlight and nearby heat sources.
• Only burn the candle on a level, fire resistant surface that will collect any wax as spilling is expected.
• Do not burn decorative candle for more than 2 hours at a time.
• To prevent possible heat damage on the candle holder or tray that you are using, you should always stop using the candle when there is only 1/4'' of wax left.
General safety: To prevent fire and serious injury: burn candle within sight. Keep away from drafts and vibrations. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never burn candle on or near anything that can catch fire.
Disclaimer: Be aware that failure to follow these instructions can lead to inaccurate burning time, heat damage, injuries and fire.

Wax Melts
Our wax melts are suitable for use in electric and tea-light burners.
How to use wax melts
Place a single wax melt in the well of your electric wax melt warmer or ceramic dish of your wax burner and light an unscented tealight below. Once the wax is warm, it will melt and spread fragrance. Add more melts if needed. Only burn wax melts on a level, fire resistant surface. Do not burn for more than 3 hours at a time.
How to change your wax melts
If your wax warmer is not on and the wax has hardened, it is easier to remove the melts by turning the warmer back on or relighting the tealight for 10-30 seconds so the wax loosens in the dish as it is easier to remove as a solid piece. Apply a light amount of pressure to the melt and and the melt should pop out in a semi solid form. Be sure to wipe away any excess with a paper towel.
How to store your wax melts
Wax melts are sensitive to light and temperature, you can avoid your wax melts from cracking and melting by storing in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep your wax melts dust free by keeping the extra wax in their original packaging.
General safety: To prevent fire and serious injury: burn candle within sight. Keep away from drafts and vibrations. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never burn candle on or near anything that can catch fire.

Wood Wick Candles
When lighting your wood wick candle for the first time, burn the candle until wax melt across the entire surface. This will prevent tunnelling and create an even burn for the duration of the candle's life.
Burning Instructions
• If you want to maximize the burning time, always trim the wick to 1/8'' (3mm).
• Keep candle free of any foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings.
• When not in use, place your candle away from direct sunlight and nearby heat sources.
• Only burn the candle on a level, fire resistant surface.
• Do not burn decorative candle for more than 2 hours at a time.
• Once you are done with your candle, clean your tin and reuse it!
If you are having difficulties trimming your wooden wick using a wick trimmer, you can use a pair of big nail trimmer. Especially near the end of your jar, you might find this little trick quite useful!

Scented Candles
How To Burn Your Candle
- Light your candle in a well-ventilated room, away from drafts, or fans, which can cause sooting (black marks on the vessel), or rapid, uneven burning.
- Burn regular-sized candles for one and a half to two hours at a time. Burning for less time can cause the candle to 'tunnel', which leaves a build-up of wax around the vessel's sides. Burning for longer periods (over four hours) can cause the wick to move, or slant.
- Make sure you stop burning your candle when 10mm of wax remains at the bottom, keeping an eye on a burning candle when the wax is low.
How To Care For Wicks
- Keep the wax pool clear of wick trimmings and matches, as debris in the wax can act as a secondary wick, encouraging your candle to burn faster.
- After extinguishing the flame with a snuffer, centre and straighten the wick. Burning for too long can cause the wick to move, or slant. If you see a flaming wick come close to the vessel wall, extinguish the flame and straighten the wick to prevent the vessel from cracking.
- Long, or crooked wicks can create high flames, smoking, or sooting. Trimming the wick to 5mm (when the wax has set) is the easiest way to prevent this.
