Candle Burning Safety

Every candle you sell or give away should be accompanied by an instruction sheet. Here is a sample, however feel free to modify it as you desire. If you want to generate repeat business, add contact information at the end.

Burning Safety

• Always burn candles on a heat resistant surface. Candle glass may become hot and damage furniture. A good heat resistant surface can be made from a ceramic tile (cover bottom with felt to protect furniture, or an old dinner plate
