Tea Light Candles: Holders, Placement and Safe Use
Share
Tea lights may be small, but their cups and holders can become hot. Choose a suitable holder and stable surface before deciding how many to use in a room.
In this guide
Check the holder and ventilation
Do not treat a thin cup as protection for furniture. Follow the holder’s instructions and avoid enclosed arrangements that are not designed for burning candles.
Check the listing before ordering
Confirm the quantity supplied, candle dimensions, fragrance and whether a holder is included. A photograph may show a styled arrangement containing several items. Use the written product details to understand exactly what you are buying.
Use candles safely
Keep a burning candle attended, in a stable suitable holder and clear of anything that could catch fire. Follow its instructions and extinguish it before leaving the room. Keep children and pets away from the flame and hot wax.
Make it a considered gift
Ask whether fragrance is welcome, and choose a size that fits the recipient’s space. Include any instructions with the gift. For venues and shared spaces, check the rules on open flames before planning a display.
