Always Be My Baby - Natural Candle (with crackling wooden wick)

• Burn Responsibly: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish before leaving the room or going to sleep.
• Keep Away from Flammable Items: Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface and away from curtains, bedding, paper, or any flammable materials.
• Out of Reach of Children & Pets: Keep candles in a secure place where little hands and paws can’t reach.
• Trim the Wick: Before each burn, trim the wood wick to ⅛ - ¼ inch to prevent excessive smoke and ensure a steady flame. If the wick is too long, the candle may not stay lit.
• First Burn Matters: Allow the candle to burn until the melted wax reaches the edges of the container. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an even burn throughout the candle’s life.
• Ventilation Matters: Burn in a well-ventilated area but away from strong drafts or fans that can cause uneven burning or excessive flickering.
• Stop Use When Low: Discontinue use when about ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom to prevent overheating and glass breakage.
• Extinguish Safely: Instead of blowing out the flame, let it burn until it naturally extinguishes, or use a wick dipper or heat-resistant tool to submerge the wick into the wax pool. This helps prevent smoke and makes relighting easier.

Pro Tip: If your wood wick struggles to stay lit, gently remove any excess burnt wood from the top before relighting.

1. First Burn is Important

• Light your candle for at least 1–2 hours on the first burn, or until the melted wax reaches the edges of the container.
• This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for the life of your candle.

2. Trim the Wick Before Each Burn

• Keep your wood wick trimmed to ⅛ - ¼ inch to ensure a steady flame.
• If your wick is too long, the candle may not stay lit or could burn too high.
• If needed, remove any blackened or charred wood before relighting by gently pinching off the burnt edges or using a wick trimmer.

3. Lighting Your Candle

• Hold the flame to the base of the wood wick for a few seconds to help it catch properly.
• If the wick extinguishes quickly, trim off excess burnt wood and try again.

4. Burning Guidelines

• Burn your candle in a draft-free area to prevent flickering and uneven burning.
• Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time to avoid overheating.
• Always place on a heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials, children, and pets.

5. When to Stop Using

• Discontinue use when about ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom to prevent overheating and glass breakage.

6. Extinguishing Your Candle

• Gently blow it out or use a candle snuffer for a clean and smoke-free extinguish.
