Scented votive candles are the perfect solution when you need an affordable candle with a long burn time. These small candles are made in a lot of different colors and fragrances. The are great to use as accents for parties and events because these votive candles will not burn out before your guests are ready to head home. These hand made votive candles will burn approximately 15 hours. To get the maximum burn time out of your candles and for safety, these should always be burned in a votive cup. The larger the votive holder you use, the shorter the burn time will be. If the liquid wax spreads too far from the flame, it can not be used as fuel and is wasted.
