Troubleshooting
Ornament is wobbly
Ensure the surface it's placed on is flat and stable. Check if the base of the ornament is even; minor adjustments might be possible if it's a slight imperfection.
Candle flickers unevenly or goes out
Ensure the tea light is centered and the opening is not obstructed. Check the candle's wick and try a different tea light if necessary.
Paint appears chipped or faded
This is likely due to age or harsh cleaning. Handle with care and clean only with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods which can fade paint.
