How to Light the Candles:
* Step 1. Obtain a box of safety matches or a gas lighter. Get longer matches to reduce the risk of burning yourself, and a gas lighter is also not an ordinary one
* Step 2. Place the candle in a sturdy container. The container should not wobble or be in any danger of tipping
* Step 3. Clear the area around the candle. Remove any flammable objects or clutter such as papers, dried floral decorations, ornaments etc
* Step 4. Trim the wick. If the wick is too long, it presents a potential hazard. The wick should be no longer than 1/4 inch / 5 mm before you light it
* Step 5. Ignite the match or gas lighter
* Step 6. Place the middle of the flame on the wick. Leave it there for approximately 3 seconds, or until the wick catches fire
* Step 7. Remove the match and extinguish. You can either blow it out or shake it out with a quick flick of your hand

Tips on How to Safely Burn Candles:
* Step 1. Never leave a burning candle unattended. This sounds simple, but it only takes seconds for something to happen. This doesn't exactly mean that you must be in the same room as the candle, but make sure you can see it wherever you go
* Step 2. Place the candle on a sturdy, heat-resistant surface. Don't leave candles on a plastic or otherwise flammable tray or on an endurable that can be easily knocked over. Rule of thumb: If anyone, or a pet, can knock over the table, it's unsafe for the candle
* Step 3. Put candles out of reach of pets and children. Be sure that your cat can't jump onto the table. If a candle is on a countertop, make sure it is as far back as it can go while staying four inches from the wall and other things. This way, a child can't reach over and grab it
* Step 4. Always keep a candle at least four inches away from nonflammable items and at least eight inches away from flammable things
* Step 5. Tie up drapes or curtains near a candle, Always keep a candle at least four inches away from nonflammable items and at least eight inches away from flammable things. Nothing can ignite if it's not close enough, right? A sudden draft could easily blow those curtains into the flame. If your windows are open, avoid burning candles altogether
* Step 6. Always use candle holders. If a wick is too short, the holder will extinguish the flame. But, if you just have a candle sitting on a counter, you run the risk of burning the surface
* Step 7. Extinguish and throw away candles with a wick less than one fourth of an inch. The wick is too low and is unsafe for burning.
