1. Trim That Wick: Before lighting, trim the wick to 1/4" using scissors or one of our wick trimmers for a clean, safe burn and increased candle lifespan.

2. Let It Burn: Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar every burn to prevent tunneling - significant on the first burn!

3. Safety First: Never leave a lit candle unattended, and don't burn for more than 4 hours at a time. You can place your candle on a coaster or tile to protect the surface below from heat.

4. Know When to Stop: Don't burn your candle if only 1/4"-1/2" of wax remains. Lighting a candle without enough wax can overheat the jar.

5. Reuse It: Once the candle is finished, clean out the jar! Now you've got a new planter, pencil holder, or whatever you'd like—more tips on how to reuse here.
