Materials
Scrap wax, paper egg carton, sawdust or dryer lint, and the usual
candle making supplies. Paper cups may be substituted for the egg
carton if you wish a nicer look.
Step 1
Accumulate scrap wax. This can be leftovers from candle
projects, or remains of burnt candles. Place in a double boiler
and melt to 180 degrees F.
Step 2
Fill sections of egg carton halfway with sawdust. Place
carton on a pan or wax resistant surface - some wax will almost
always seep through the carton. Although these can be made without
sawdust, it greatly increases the burning time.
Step 3
Fill cups with saw dust or dryer lint.
Step 4
Pour melted wax into egg carton slowly. Allow
to cool.
Step 5
The finished fire starters. The finished
fire starters may be broken off for individual use as needed. To
use just light the edge. Told you they were ugly!!
