I was looking on Amazon for links for supplies to make these but it is so expensive to go that route. Like I said in the video, I would look at goodwill, IKEA, and other thrift stores for supplies. I hope you enjoy this project!

For your “double boiler” with the tea pot, I always put canning rings in the pot vs the tin foil. It keeps it steadier and will avoid a tipped tea pot filled with candle wax. Great idea with the paper muffin cups and pine shavings. We always saved tp rolls, cut them in half and added dryer lint. We poured the wax over them then.

retired candle maker here. the wax will melt MUCH faster if its broken up in chunks. freeze the old candles first. then take out your agression on them with a hammer (garage or patio floor would be best). if making large batches, we used an electric roaster with a water pan. it would keep our large batch of wax at temp while we made our various scented candles.

So when it’s the end of her day, normally I think, ok, that’s the end, and then she pops back on for the next day! And again a few minutes later. It’s like the video that you don’t want to end, and then it doesn’t! It’s so great.:) I always feel like it’s my lucky day, but then I remember that this is Becky, and she is just that amazing, which is why her channel is my absolute favorite of all.👍▶️👑

i'm a little confused on the statement about commercial starters having a petroleum product in it so you wouldn't use them. but these would feel comfortable cooking with. those candles are made with petroleum based wax. parrafin wax is petroleum. soy and beeswax would be a better choice, i believe.

@@susanjones3177 i was a candle maker for many years, so i'm familiar with it. paraffin is a by product of the petroleum process used in making fuel. the commercial ones you mention may have been made with a lower quality wax or some other additives were used. next time y'all get ready to make these, hunt down some beeswax. tht would smelll wonderful burning! if you have a local bee farm they might even sell unrefined to you super cheap since it still has dead bees/parts and honeycomb in it. and since you'd be using it for this purpose, there would be no reason to need to clean it first. thanks for responding susan. i think you are as much of a natural on the videos as becky is!!

I use tumble dryer fluff too. We only have natural fibre clothes, so it's just like charcloth (waaaaay back before matches, a flint & steel were used to make the spark, but you needed something to "catch" the spark - charcloth. They made charcloth by burning scrap cloth in a very low oxygen environment, same technique as making charcoal. You can do this yourself with one of those tins car sweets / mints come in, poke a few tiny air holes with an awl / punch, stuff with natural fibre cloth, light it & carefully cram the lid on - it doesn't burn super fast, it's less dodgy than it sounds. Leave on a heatproof surface until the following day- fire will have burned out & tin cooled down. Voila - charcloth! But dryer fluff is less messy & using something you'd otherwise waste!)

Something else you can use is dryer lint & the empty TP or Paper towel rolls. Stuff those with the lint & you have a great fire starter. As a FF dryer lint is highly flammable & a great way to recycle things you otherwise throw away. Although the wax will definitely make this type of fire starter last a lot longer.

My husband has been making these for a few years now. They work great. I had a random box of paper bathroom sized Dixie cups that he used and he has also used the paper egg cartons, too, like you two did. For the wood shavings, he saves wood chips from untreated wood (from the chopsaw or chainsaw) and we also save dryer lint and mix it in as well. Great way to repurpose random scrap items! He has a station in the barn where he assembles them using a single electric burner. Another great video!

I was a Brownie and Girl Guide as a young girl and a leader as an adult. I still make and use fire starters to this day. Back in the day we used the cardboard egg cartons as you are using. We would get sawdust from wood worker friends or lumber supply stores that cut to order. If you don’t have access to wood chips or sawdust you can use other things. We would use dryer lint (we don’t use dryer sheets so our lint is ok to use), shredded cardboard, shredded paper, etc. As well we often collected pine ones and dunked them in the wax and let them dry. You can also roll newspaper into a solid roll and tightly tie it. Soak it thoroughly in water and leave it to dry, Burn these whole or cut into 3” pieces. You can drizzle wax in the ends. (Soaking the newspaper and allowing it to dry helps them burn much longer.) Love your channel Becky! Even in my 60’s I am learning new tricks! 🙂

Love this project. Mom’s tip on using the old tea pot is amazing. I might get one for making lotions and salves. It will be a game changer when pouring into containers.

If you have a lot of musquito's use citronella candles buy one and use in starter when camping/outdoor fire.

I am SO going to do this! Thank you for all of your money saving or just homemade ideas. After winning my battle against cancer, I have been changing so much about what I eat and things I use. I want a much healthier lifestyle.

That’s so cool, Becky & Mom!! You’re such a great team.:) We’re avid campers like your parents, and I’ve actually ordered these many times! I’m definitely going to keep my eye out for an old kettle and cupcake pans, so I can try this myself! Thanks for sharing! God Bless!👍💞🙏🏼

I always make my fire starters at the campground. Don't have to worry about wood shavings getting all over the house, and I just use a foil mini-loaf pan to melt the wax on the grate in the fire pit while it's burning.. use tongs to pick it up! Love the idea to just use hamster/chicken bedding... I had gone to the trouble of hunting down cedar chips because someone told me I had to... and those aren't just available everywhere.

I enjoy watching you and your Mom doing all kinds of things together. I spent every minute I could with my Mom when she was alive. Talked to her at least once a day. Cherish every minute! (Dad too)

Cheap candles are made from paraffin wax which is a petroleum product. Unscented beeswax or soy wax are the only candles we burn inside our home. Also some cheap candles may have lead in the wick, so keep that in mind if including the wick the wick in your fire starters.

LOVE THIS!! My kids and I camp all spring/summer long and fire starting is an ever evolving team sport 😂 we are always trying new methods and additions to get the quickest hottest fire going-it’s an obsession so much that we’ve named ourselves “camp Fuego”. We will be doing this before we kickoff camp season-love your videos with mom-she’s so crafty & efficient!!

I don’t even know why I watched this since I’ll likely never make or need these, but I absolutely LOVE your mom’s explanations of her trial & error learning! It’s so helpful to know WHY certain things didn’t work or weren’t a good idea, rather than simply “do this!”

Your mom is such a natural giving instructions on camera (maybe this is who you learned it from!). It's really fun to watch the two of you cook up stuff in the kitchen.
