Our birthday candles are hand-dipped and, because they are 100% beeswax (instead of paraffin), they create the loveliest glow for pictures. Our beeswax is charcoal-filtered for purity and colored with food-grade pigments. The wicks are 100% cotton. Our candles come as cute little pairs for an artisan feel, and the wicks can be easily snipped prior to use. The burn time for these candles is about 15-20 minutes, so you can use them multiple times. We like to just snip the top after using them, and they're ready to go again! This listing includes one package of 12 birthday candles, each 4" in length. Candles packs are available in rainbow, pink, blues and pastels. Due to their handmade nature, colors may vary slightly from batch to batch. All images copyright ©HoorayAllDay.
