Care
Care
- Wood Care: The wood comes pre-finished with a solvent-free finishing oil and does not require re-oiling. The wood cover is completely removable.
- Adjusting the Fit: High summer humidity may cause the wood cozy to loosen slightly. If this happens, simply open the wrap, snug up the Velcro, and refasten. It's that easy!
-
Cleaning the Glass: The glass insert is dishwasher and hand-wash safe.
Easy Wax Removal: To remove leftover wax from the bottom, place the glass insert into the freezer for a short time. The hardened wax will pop right out. - Switch Up Your Style: Because the glass is removable, you can purchase extra cozies separately to perfectly match your mood, décor, or the season!

Here are a few tips to get the best out of your lantern
Your lantern should be as beautiful as my pictures! I'm no professional photographer-just me and an iPhone-but here are a few tips to help you get the best possible glow:
Choosing the Perfect Candle
- A smaller candle works best so the wick sits just below the wood design. If its above, the light won't shine through.
- Everyday Favorites: I love affordable, plain white candles like IKEA's HEMSJÖ (for small/medium lanterns) or LÄTTNAD (for large). Standard tea lights work beautifully too!
- Using 3-Wick Candles: If you use a Bath & Body Works 3-wick candle, choose white wax with clear glass. They put a plastic wrapper on them.... I remove that for sure. The 3-wick candles fit the medium size lantern - 5"x5".
Clean & Glow Trick
I like to add a little salt or baking soda into the base of the lantern. Not only does it catch any stray wax drips for easy cleanup, but it also reflects the light upward beautifully. (Just be sure to avoid flammable alternatives like flour or sugar!)
I want you to love your lantern! Please message me directly through the contact page, or even instagram if you have any questions at all.
