Homemade: fire starters




It’s actually kind of terrifying just how flammable dryer lint is. We’ve been building fires every other night, so I decided to be resourceful and make my own started out of things we normally throw away. We lined an egg carton with about a TBS of scraps from the paper shredder, packed in dryer lint that I saved up for a couple of days, and then I melted down the remains of a candle that reached the end of its wick, and poured the wax over the top of the starters. We tested one out tonight. It worked beautifully! We will be making more very soon, but filling up empty toilet paper rolls instead of egg cartons. 

Look at that beautifully blazing fire 😍
