Perhaps you’ve been given one as a gift (maybe you’ve treated yourself, just as you should!) and now you want to get the most out of your fruity little candle. Look no further, I am a candle lover, an aficionado, the candle obsessed! Step into my glowy world and I’ll share my top tips with you to make sure you the best life out of your candles (safely and delightfully of course!). In this guide, we'll explore essential tips to help your pillar candles burn longer, brighter, and with a little pizazz.
1: Pillar Candle Safety
Sturdy Foundations: Place your pillar candle on a non-flammable, heat-resistant surface. Ensure it stands tall and straight to avoid potential hazards. I love to use plates, trays and even egg cups for my little eggs. There are some amazing options out there, just make sure that it’s big enough to catch any dripping wax and it’s not flammable.
Get Centered: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting. This helps maintain a steady flame and prevents excessive soot. If it’s good enough for Beckham to do, it’s worth doing!
The Candle is the Hero: Make sure that there is nothing around your candle that could catch flame. Make it the hero and a stand alone piece. Never leave your burning candle unattended or near children or pets.
2: The Burn Begins
First Impressions Count: Allow your pillar candle to burn until the wax pool reaches the outer edge. This ensures an even burn and prevents tunneling.
Time Management: Limit each burning session to 3-4 hours. This not only preserves the integrity of the wax but also contributes to the overall longevity of your pillar candle.
Section 3: Scentful Strategies
Heightened Fragrance: Place your pillar candle in a smaller, enclosed space to intensify the scent. The cozy atmosphere will enhance the aromatic experience.
Mix and Match: Pair different fruit and vegetable pillar candles to create unique scent combinations, transforming your space into a fragrant orchard.
Section 4: Post-Burn Revelry
Wax Wonders: Embrace the beauty of the remaining wax once your pillar candle has completed its burn. Use it as a decorative element or create custom wax art for a sustainable and artistic touch.
Artful Arrangements: Group pillar candles of various shapes and sizes for a visually striking centerpiece. The fruit and vegetable motifs add a touch of whimsy to your décor.
