5. How can I use my flower candle bouquet?

You can enjoy your flower candle in three ways:
 – As home décor to brighten your space
 – As wax melts (place the flower in a wax warmer)
 – As a burning candle — gently twist the flower off the skewer and place it on a deep heat-safe dish; a deeper plate helps the flower last longer

Full instructions are included with every purchase.
