there's a science to burning beeswax, here's some tips...

Start lighting the snowflake while it is tipped on it's side.  Beeswax needs oxygen to burn correctly and the wick in this candle isn't super big so needs to be burned like this to insure a proper burn.

When you first light your pillar, you need to burn the candle 1 hour for every inch of width.  For example, a 3"x 3", or 3" x 4" pillar, you want to burn for at least three hours per burning session.  With the 2"x 3.5" or 2"x 4.5" you want to burn for at least 2 hours per session. If trouble relighting, make sure wick is trimmed pretty short, take your lighter and push it gently into the wick, this breaks up the wick fibers and your candle should light right up! This candle needs a hug!

Burning tealights is super simple. You burn them right in their little plastic cup.  Even though they have a small wick, if you don't burn through the whole tealight in one session trim the wick before trying to relight.

Great to showcase tealights in a glass tealight holder.  See our Container Candles and Holders section to view tealight holder options!

Always burn your votive in a votive holder.  Keep the wick trimmed to 1/4" especially when relighting.
