    Default Candle Tips.......

    INCREASE YOUR CANDLE POWER:

    Here are some helpful tips on how to make the most of
    using candles:

    --FOR LONGER BURNING TIME:
    Refrigerate the candles for a few hours and they will
    burn more evenly.

    --TO PREVENT DRIPPING:
    Mix two tablespoons of salt with enough water to cover
    the candle. Soak the candle for two to three hours,
    rinse well, and let dry for a day before lighting.

    --A BETTER WAY TO BLOW OUT A CANDLE:
    Hold your forefinger between your mouth and the flame,
    then blow toward the candle. Air will circle your finger
    and hit the candle from both sides. This minimizes
    any way spray.

    Be safe! Don't leave burning candles unattended or where
    pets or small children could reach them and topple them over!

    what great tips thanks so much. I have heard of keeping them in the freezer so they burn longer.

    You can also recycle your old candles too! When the jar kind get down too far to burn anymore, save up a few candles. Pop each one in the microwave to melt the wax (be sure they don't have the metal wick stoppers on the bottom...if they do, you can put the candle in a few inches of boiling water to melt it), then layer them in a new jar with a new wick!

    You get a new multicolored candle, and a few "clean" jars out of the deal with things that you would have normally tossed into the trash!
