Candle Instructions

• The first burn should be for at least 2 hours, so that the melt pool reaches the edges.
• To increase burn time and minimise flame size - keep wick trimmed to 1cm before each lighting.
• To maintain an even burn - carefully push any unmelted pieces into the wax pool as candle burns down.
• Ensure candle is on a level surface in a proper holder, large enough to capture any dripping wax.
• To extinguish the flame without smoking - dip wick into wax pool using an appropriate utensil and stand it back up for easy relighting.
• Always burn candle within sight and never leave unattended.
• Keep away from draughts, flammable objects, children and pets.
• If you prefer to use it as decor and enjoy it for longer, that is great too! Over time pure beeswax may naturally develop a white dusting called Bloom, this can be polished off with a soft cloth.
• Colours may vary slightly as each one is mixed by hand in small batches.
• As each candle is individually hand poured there may be small visible imperfections making each candle unique. Each candle will be made specially for you, which may take a few days so if your order is urgent, please let me know.
