1. Choose a safe location: Roman candles should be shot in a wide-open space away from trees, buildings, and other obstacles. Make sure there are no people or animals nearby.
2. Light the fuse: Roman candles have a long fuse that is located at the bottom of the candle. To light the fuse, hold the candle in one hand and use a lighter or match to light the fuse with your other hand.
3. Stand back: Once the fuse is lit, step back quickly to a safe distance. Roman candles can shoot stars up to several feet in the air, so it is important to give yourself plenty of room.
4. Enjoy the show: Roman candles will shoot stars into the air for a few seconds. Sit back and enjoy the show!
5. Dispose of the candle safely: Once the candle is finished shooting, allow it to cool down for a few minutes. Then, dispose of it in a trash can.
