Which Size Do You Need?

Select your stick length based on candle holder height, table scale, and planned burning time.

Color Profile and Holder Compatibility

Our bloody taper candles combine a stark, smooth white surface with artistic, deep red splatter detailing. This striking horror-inspired finish pairs exceptionally well with vintage brass candelabras, matte black iron holders, tarnished silver, clear glass, and dark velvet table runners.

Securing Painted Candlesticks in Holders

The base is shaped to fit standard 7/8-inch candle sockets. If your holder socket runs wide and the stick feels loose, trim a small wax shaving at the bottom edge or place a drop of warm wax in the socket base to anchor it straight upright.

Clean Burn Behavior and Care

Follow these guidelines to control burn behavior and protect your surfaces:

• Controlling Drips: In still air, these candles burn smoothly and dripless. If you prefer a dramatic "bleeding wax" look for Halloween displays, place the candles near slight air movement (such as a open interior door or distant fan) to induce gentle dripping down the sides.
• Protect Linens: If encouraging drip effects, always burn on a heat-resistant tray or wide candle plate to catch red wax runs.
• Trim Wick before Lighting: Keep the cotton wick trimmed to 1/4 inch before lighting to maintain a small, steady flame.
• Store Flat Below 70°F: Keep unused tapers flat in a cool room below 70°F (21°C) to prevent softening or leaning before use.
