Candles

Candles poured in plant wax, from tea lights to tapers: spell candles, crystal flower candles and scented botanical waxes. One piece of advice holds for all of them — on the first burn, let the wax melt right out to the edges, or the candle tunnels and never recovers. Trim the wick to 5 mm before each lighting, never burn more than four hours at a stretch, never unattended and never near fabric.
