Can I use real candles instead of LED lights?

Using real candles can be risky, especially with glass jars. LED lights are safer and just as effective for creating a glow.

What if I want to use different colors?

Feel free to customize the colors based on your preference! The classic ghost white with colorful accents creates a lovely contrast.

How do I store them after Halloween?

Keep them in a box or bin away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Can these be used outdoors?

Yes! Just ensure that you use LED lights, which are safer for outdoor setups.
