First, fill the egg cups in each egg carton with shreds of paper.*

Then melt the wax in a cast iron skillet over low to medium heat.

Once the wax is melted, pour the wax over the paper shreds in the egg cartons, and let everything sit until it hardens.

Using a box cutter or large pocket knife, cut each egg carton into three sections for use in starting a fire.

And that’s it. Your easy fire starter is ready to start a fire!
