  1. Very cute, but can it be burned with the paper in there?

  2. it's a fire-proof container, the hearts are 1/2" & smaller, if they did catch on fire it would be contained in the jar. sorry I did not burn it as I am giving it as a gift.

  11. Cute idea but just remember Gel candles burn hotter than regular candles DO NOT leave them on top of your plastic TV...they will melt a hole through the top...Honest,they will.
