AFTERCARE GUIDE
SCULPTURAL CANDLES
Our sculptural candles are designed for decorative purposes. While unlit, do not keep your candles in direct sunlight and keep them away from heat sources , to protect their beautiful shape & colour.
Before burning your candle, make sure you remove all packaging and trim the wick to 0.5cm for optimum burn.
WAX SPILLAGE IS EXPECTED, MAKE SURE YOU PLACE YOUR CANDLE ON A FIRE RESISTANT TRAY OR DISH , when you decide to burn them, TO PROTECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS. Don't burn your candle more than 2 hours at a time. If the candles drip to much, extinguish and let them cool before using again. Estinguish when 0.5cm of wax remains and do not relit. The remaining wax can be used in your wax melter / warmer to get the most of the scent. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children and pets. Always keep 10cm distance between burning candles. Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire.
STONE HOMEWARE
EACH PIECE IS MIXED, POURED, SANDED & SEALED BY HAND.
THEY WILL HAVE CORK FEET OR RUBBER FEET ON THE UNDERSIDE TO PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE FROM SCRATCHES.
AIR BUBBLES NATURALLY OCCUR IN STONE MIXES AND THEY ARE NOT CONSIDERED A FAULT, BUT A UNIQUE FEATURE.
WE SEAL THEM AGAINST LIGHT STAINS AND HUMIDITY, BUT WE DON'T RECOMMEND TO BE DISPLAYED IN A HIGH HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENT.
CARE:
-WIPE UP SPILLS QUICKLY USING A SOFT CLOTH.
-AVOID THE USE OF AGGRESSIVE SCRUBBING PADS OR ABRASIVE CLEANSERS.
-DO NOT USE WITH FOOD.
-DO NOT USE SURFACES FOR CUTTING.
-DO NOT EXPOSE TO HIGH HEAT OR DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
-NOT SAFE FOR DISHWASHER.
*IF DROPPED, IT WILL SHATTER INTO PIECES.
CONTAINER CANDLES
1.Trim wick to 0.5 cm before burning your candle. You can use a wick trimmer, scissor or a nail trimmer, whatever works for you. This step will ensure a clean burn and no unnecessary smoke.
2. Only burn candles on an even, fireproof surface.
3. Only burn candles within sight.
4. At the first burn, make sure you get a full melted pool ( when the melted wax reaches the edges of the container). This step will help to get an even burn and prevents candles from tunnelling ( when the wax on the sides remains unmelted).
5. Keep candles aways from children & pets.
6. Do not light candles near anything that can catch fire.
7. Do not burn these candles more than 3 hours at a time.
8. Containers will get hot during the burn, do not move the candles while lit.
PLANTABLE SEED PAPER TOPS
We want to reduce waste as much as possible and we encourage you to reuse our containers after all wax is burned, and in that light we used seeded paper for our candle tops.
You can plant this seed paper following some simple instructions:
1. In spring/summer, when it’s warm, soak paper in water and tear into small pieces.
2. Add compost in the container & then the teared seed paper then sprinkle more compost on top.
3.keep the soil and paper moist ( but not soaking wet) in a warm and light environment.
4. Once your small plants have grown, place the container outside or keep on a window that has lots of sun.
*Nature is fragile- do not plant in the wild.
