Burning Instructions

Burn your candle for short periods of time
( 1 1/2 hours or less). Allow to cool.

NOTE: When your candle is first lit, burn for 10 minutes then extinguish and pour off the melted wax and repeat procedure. This is not necessary after the initial time. Water and glaze may have been trapped and not allow the candle to burn down properly without this procedure.

Continued use of the candle will form a well in which a clear plastic tea light can be inserted to protect the outside design, but the choice is yours.
See "How to Insert Tea-Lights or Oil Lamp below for detailed instructions.

Simple Care and Precautions:

  • Never leave your candle burning unattended.

  • Always put your candle on a protected surface.

  • Always keep lit candle away from Children & Pets.

  • Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting.

  • Keep out of drafts and direct sunlight.

How to Insert Tea-Lights or Oil Lamp

If you would like your candle to last longer, you can insert an oil lamp or tea light into the top of the candle instead of burning the core candle. There are two methods to achieving this effect.

Purchase the desired tea-lights or oil lamp you would like to use in your Hand Carved Unity Candle.
Bridal Candles recommends a clear plastic tea-light to achieve the glowing effect thru the sides by your candle.

Method One:
The first method for inserting a tea-light into your Hand Carved Unity Candle is to continue to burn the candle for short periods of time, extinguish flame, and pour off the melted wax. When a"well" is formed large enough... insert a tea-light. The "well"forming can be expedited along by scouping out the softened wax to the desired depth after each pour.
Method Two:
You will need a spade bit for your drill the diameter of either your tea light or oil lamp insert. Using a spade bit and handheld drill .....center the bit over the top of the candle and slowly drill the wax out until you reach the desired depth. (make sure you firmly hold the base of the candle on a flat surface). Then simply insert the tea light or oil lamp.

Carved candles are to be enjoyed. The glow that is produced through the sides of the candle is part of the beauty and charm. Use and burn your candle.
