Directions ~ Wick Candles.

• Always trim wick to 5mm 0.5cm before lighting.

• Do not burn for more than 4hours. Allow candle to cool before relighting.

• Please use a appropriate snuffer to extinguish flame.

All burn times are the total of burn time if burned for no more than the recommended hours. These times are approximate as the fragrance and placement of candle (i.e. in a draft or near a heat source, (Oven, Fireplace or radiator) can affect how fast a candle burns.

Decorations ~ all made from wax & candle products. Palm/Paraffin wax embeds & candle dyes/paints.

Wick ~ We only use Wedo Wicks, which we prime ourselves so that we can match wax and colour of your candle.

Our candles are made with 3% fragrance to candle weight. Our philosophy is to offer a nice cold and warm throw without being overpowering. Our scented candles provide a subtle scent compared to wax melts and other highly fragranced options. Whether you're looking to relax in a warm bath or create an inviting ambiance for a dinner party, our candles offer a delicate and soothing environment without overwhelming the room. If you prefer a stronger scent, feel free to reach out to us for a custom order with a higher fragrance percentage.

Warning!

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Never burn near flammable objects.

• Never burn near open windows.

• Always place on a suitable heat proof surface before lighting.

Things to look for.

• Check the candle’s cold throw – The cold throw, or the fragrance of an unlit candle, weakens with age. If you breathe in a candle’s scent and it’s hard to detect - gently scratch the outer surface and if it still doesn’t smell, it may be past its prime.

• Observe the candle’s colour – Was the candle once a bright red, and has now faded to a sickly salmon? If that colour has faded or changed, it is a sure indication that you’re probably holding a candle that is old. It should still burn okay, but it just won’t be as nice to look at.

• Check for dryness and yellowing – If the candle was colourless when you purchased it, yellowing or dry, cracked wax indicates it’s overstayed its welcome.

Can you burn a expired Candle? Yes.

• Follow the safety warnings and instructions when you're using that older candle.

• Your wax candle may not be as fragrant as a new candle.

• Your candle may burn unevenly, even after you’ve trimmed the candle wick.

• Your candle wax may tunnel (deep pool of melted wax around to the wick which may drown the flame causing it to go out.)

• Your wax candle may have less burn time.

• Your candle may not light or stay lit.

How to extend the life of your candle.

• Keep it out of the sun – Sunlight is an enemy to just about any candle, and is especially tough on those made with essential oils, natural fragrances and plant-based or organic waxes. If your table gets a lot of direct sunlight, you might consider placing your candles in a closed cabinet or closet when they’re not being used.

• Store it in an air-tight container.

• Avoid extreme temperatures – Extreme heat or extreme cold can interfere with both candle’s fragrance profile and the consistency of its wax. Be sure to keep your candles in a cool, dark place to keep them in pristine condition. This is also one of the ways to fix tunnelling.

Here’s some info and a sprinkle of my humble opinions which have been formed during many experiments with different waxes and their best uses to make the most unique and eye catching candles.  

All candles may produce frosting (white pattern/crystallisation)during production process or over time. This is normal and will not affect your candle burn and is safe to use as normal.  

Beeswax

(Currently Bees & Bees’n’Teddy collections only)

The bees have mainly fed on forest, wildflower and gorse blossom which gives this wax a lovely yellow colour and depth.

Organic Beeswax By Yellow Naturals. Chemical Free, Unscented, Naturally Sweet with a mild aroma.

Palm 'n' Paraffin Wax

I use a mixture of Palm and Paraffin Wax for a number of reasons. Glossy finish, strength, colour depth and most important to me the detail captured from the mould surpasses any other types of wax that I have experimented with.

Palm ~ 100% natural product. 100% Sustainably Sourced.

Paraffin

I use Paraffin Wax for a number of reasons. minimal frosting, glossy finish, strength, colour depth and most important to me the detail captured from the mould surpasses any other types of wax that I have experimented with.

Paraffin 

This is a incredible wax for a semi-transparent frosted glass or icy looks. When lit the soft warm glow of the wick will be seen through the wax. LEDs will produce a bright array of moving or static colours throughout. Can be dyed in light colour shades but works best if left the original colour. 

I love to use a wood mould with this wax as the woodgrain texture and frosting enhances the beautiful wintery look.

Soy Pillar

This Soy wax makes good, strong pillar candles and is fantastic for bright colours. When burning Soy candles it is very important to place them on a suitable heatproof base as they tend to burn through the side of the candle and leak wax.
