** DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF YOUR VESSELS- You will need to wait approximately one hour for the candles to cure before they can be decorated. There are multiple options available for you to choose from. You can take a refreshing walk enjoy a cup of coffee or explore the wonderful art gallery. If you prefer you can also leave the candles at the store and collect them at a more suitable time.**
