Put them in the dirt - and light them up!

Once you're candles have cured, it's time for your backyard (or beach, or barbeque, or tiki-lounge) party. Place large torches directly into the ground, medium sized torches in the ground or large flower pots, and small torches in table top flower pots.

REMEMBER - use caution! This is an open flame! Be sure to keep small children and animals safely away from the candles. That goes as well for adults who may not be paying attention or who may be sipping a little too much tiki-punch!

But when safely used, these torches can be a wonderful, unique, and effective mosquito-repelling addition to your outdoor affairs.
