Although they are mainly meant to be used as decorations, all of our taper and pillar candles can be burned and used as regular candles. Our taper sets are not made from dripless wax and will burn down. Our pillar candles, however, will burn down the center and leave the decorative shell. You can then place a votive candle inside and continue to use the pillar as decoration (this is also a great way to add scent)! To do this, trim the wick short (about ½"), and light. Once a small pool of wax has formed, blow out the candle and carefully spoon or pour out the melted wax. Relight the candle and repeat this process until a well has formed that is large enough for a small votive candle.

Never leave a burning candle unattended, and always be sure to always place something under the candle to protect your surface (again, our candles are not dripless).
