Making non toxic firelighters at home is easier than you may imagine and they smell good when they are burning because they are not full to toxic chemicals.
These homemade fire starters burn well and last years in the cupboard, until they are needed, unlike the chemical ones that lose potency once the package is opened, so you can make many at a time.
These Fire Starters use old damaged clothes and scraps of cotton material, so they are not adding to land fill piles, which is a horrifying problem the West is dumping on other countries.....
YOU WILL NEED
Beeswax Slow cooker or Saucepan and bowl or Double Boiler to slowly melt wax
Cotton Material
Scissors
Plastic Jug & Ladle (Just for Wax Projects)
Silicone Mould in size of fire starters or egg carton
Board and old cloth to protect table from heat and catch wax drips

Welcome to Moat Cottage Homesteading, I'm Elissa and here at Moat Cottage, we raise and grow and process some of our own free range meat, organic vegetables and fruit. We grow all of our herbs for both eating and medicinal purposes as well as hunt, fish and forage.
Our goal each season is to preserve our produce for the year ahead by canning, dehydrating, fermenting and freezing and we work on being prepared for emergency situations.
Avoiding single use plastic, chemicals and artificial fragrances is important to us and we are trying to live an older style life, balanced with this modern world.
