<p>Our taper candles are handcrafted and hand over dipped in a colorful palette of 45 trendy colors. The outer core of this taper is made of an extremely hard-shell wax crafted with the highest quality paraffin wax and all cotton wick that prevents the candle from dripping. Makes a perfect touch to any wedding or special event. Tapers fit any standard taper holder. Keep wick trimmed to 1/4". Keep away from drafts. Don't be fooled by the low low prices, these are premium quality candles made in North America. We sell for less because we are the Manufacturer. Holder not included. <br> <br> Please note that due to the handcrafted nature of our taper candles, dimensions may vary in diameter by +/- 1/16" and height by +/- 1/4". The diameter measurement is taken from the widest part of the taper candle. Due to the variety of candle holder sizes on the market, we recommend using Stickum to stabilize your tapers in holders or trimming the base of the candle to fit in a holder. Never burn a taper candle to the very bottom of the holder. The listed burn times are approximations and reflect 3-4 hr burn cycles in a draft-free indoor space. In general, candles are not meant to be used in excessive ambient heat, cold and or drafts. Those conditions will negatively impact the burn time and quality of the burn.</p> <p> </p>
