   • Keep candle tins out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental burns or tipping.

   • Trim the candle wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting it. A longer wick can create higher flames and increased risk.

    • Let the candle tin cool completely before moving or relighting it.

    • If someone in your household has scent allergies or sensitivities, choose candles with mild scents or opt for unscented candles.
14. Dispose of Responsibly:

15. Repurpose with Caution:
    • If repurposing the tin, make sure any leftover wax is fully removed and the tin is clean before using it for a different purpose.
16. Maintain a 1-Foot Clearance:
    • Keep candles at least 1 foot away from anything that can catch fire, such as curtains, decorations, or furniture.
17. Educate Children:
    • Teach children about the dangers of candles and the importance of candle safety.

Following these guidelines helps ensure that your experience with candle tins is safe and enjoyable. Remember that safety should always be a priority when using any type of candle, regardless of its size or design.
