Ingredients
- Wax
- Old candles or wax melts
- Natural materials such as pine cones, dried citrus slices, and cinnamon sticks
- Essential oils, optional
- Paper cups or muffin cups for molds
- Double boiler for melting the wax
Instructions
- Melt the wax by placing the old candles or wax melts in the top of a double boiler and heating gently until completely liquid.
- Once the wax is melted, add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for fragrance, if desired.
- Arrange the paper or muffin cups on a stable, heat-resistant surface and place the natural materials inside each cup.
- Slowly pour the melted wax over the natural materials, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Leave the fire starters undisturbed until the wax has cooled and hardened completely.
- Once hardened, the scented fire starters are ready to use in a fireplace or fire pit.
Notes
Always use fire starters only in suitable and properly maintained fire pits or fireplaces. Keep finished fire starters away from heat until ready to use.
