Perfect for adding a festive glow to the table, bathroom or outdoor set up at any Carnival celebration.
Made with beeswax and all natural color dye. Trim wick before use.

Remove all packaging and place candle on heat resistant surface. Trim wick before use. Total burn time is approximately 3.5 hrs. Keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch to prevent a smoking candle. Keep burning candles out of drafty areas as drafts will cause candle to burn unevenly and smoke. Never allow flame to touch glass surface and discontinue use when wax is low. Never leave candle unattended.
Every year tens of millions of dollars are sent abroad to purchase and import parade throws. Wouldn’t it be great if we could keep some of that business here and create jobs for those who need them? We can! Consumable throws, which are cost competitive with disposable plastic throws, promote our Louisiana food culture, support local businesses and provide low skilled work for citizens and volunteers who sticker, stuff and tie the bags. These throws truly are a win, win, win!
End of Life Instructions: Kraft paper box is compostable or recyclable after removing window insert. Metal candle holder is curbside recyclable after removing wax. Candle wax scraps are compostable.
