Candle Safety & Burning Notice These sculptural snake candles are designed primarily as decorative pieces. If you choose to burn the candle, please do so only in a well-ventilated area with good air circulation. Do not burn in small, enclosed, or poorly ventilated spaces. Please note that some decorative details are hand-painted with acrylic paint. For this reason, burning is not recommended once the flame reaches or comes into direct contact with painted areas. Acrylic-painted surfaces should not be burned in enclosed spaces, as heating or burning the paint may produce unpleasant fumes.
For the safest experience, we recommend enjoying this piece as a decorative candle. If burned, always place it on a heat-resistant surface, keep it away from drafts and flammable objects, never leave it unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.

Hand-painted detail
Painted with candle color. Every bit as safe to burn.
Each detail is brushed on by hand using color made specifically for candles, so the artwork stays beautiful and the candle still burns the way a candle should.
-
Made for flame
We paint only with color formulated for candles, never craft or wall paint, so the finish is designed to sit on wax near a flame.
-
Brushed on, never poured in
The color lives in a thin hand-painted layer on the surface, so the wax body and cotton wick burn exactly like an unpainted candle.
-
Burn it, or display it
Light it for the glow or leave it as a sculptural centerpiece. Either way, the painted finish is meant to be enjoyed.

As with every candle: trim the wick to ¼", burn on a heat-safe surface, keep away from drafts and flammables, and never leave a flame unattended.
