- Dry Pine Cones - Paraffin Wax - Cotton String - Muffin Tin & paper liners
Use a double boiler to melt the wax. I used a mason jar setting in a pot of boiling water.
Wrap the string around each pine cone.
Pour Wax into each muffin liner and set a pine cone in.
When the wax is cooled and solid, it's time to remove them from the muffin tin. Use one or two for starting your fire.
- Dip the whole pine cone in the wax. - You can color the wax with candle dye. - Dip the end of the string in the wax.
