DIY Fire Starters

DIY Fire Starters

Who doesn’t love a fire? A fire place, a fire pit – it doesn’t matter, there is just something comforting and warming about a fire. Well this year my daughter and I made this fun DIY fire starter to help get a good fire going easily. They’re beautiful and fun!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Pine Cones
• Wicks
• Plain wax
• Cup Cake baking cups (Snowman)

Directions for DIY Fire Starters:

1st cut your wicks about 2 ” long.

Next, melt your wax according to directions (NOTE: You don’t have to buy wax you can use wax from old candles in your home).

Pour melted wax into baking cups lined in a cup cake pan.  Add wicks (if you’re making these in a cool environment be sure to work quickly before your wax sets.

Now add your pine cones and allow to cool completely.

Remove and place in an old tin (like a popcorn tin).

Makes for great gifts placed in an old tin with a simple ribbon!
