Ingredients
- 32 oz beeswax pellets
- 12 long candle wicks
- 2 cups natural dried elements include cinnamon sticks, rosemary, dried flowers, mini pinecones, and dried herbs.
- essential oil optional
Instructions
- Melt Beeswax: In a double boiler or microwave, melt natural beeswax until fully liquid.
- Prepare Mold: Place mini pinecones, cinnamon sticks, rosemary, dried fruit, and flowers into a silicone mold.
- Add Wick: Insert a longer wick into each mold, ensuring it touches the bottom and is long enough to reach the wood. The wick doesn’t need to stand straight up—allow it to lay slightly to the side for easy lighting.
- Pour Wax: Carefully pour the melted beeswax into the mold, covering some ingredients and securing the wick.
- Let Set: Allow the wax to cool and harden for about 1 hour.
- Pop Out: Remove the fire starters from the mold and store them in a dry place until ready to use.
