Taper candles are a traditional and classic addition to decorating, entertaining and seasonal celebrating. We encourages you to have a supply of tapers on hand so you and your family can enjoy the beauty of candlelight each and everyday. Tip: Try this different way to decorate with tapers. Select a large glass vase, fill with colored rock granules and place a taper candle into the center using the rock granules to hold it steadily in place. The candlelight will flicker and reflect a romantic glow throughout the room.
