 This fun project starts in my backyard. Where I have tons of pinecones that I turn into firstarter for my fire pit and grill. 

It's a great way to recycle old candles into something new! 







  • Pinecones
  • Wax ( Bees wax pellets is best but you can recycle old soy candles) 
  • Can to melt wax in : too make your double boiler. 
  • string, for dipping  and Salt
  • My yard has a tons of Pine cones – so gather some large ones.Let dry out if wet.  And  tie a strong on to them for handles for dipping in wax.
  • Melt some wax : Paraffin, bees wax  or you can recycle some wax you have from old candles . And add old  Crayons for colors.
  • Dip candles in wax , wait a few minutes and dip in wax again to cover your Pine cones. If you need more coverage spoon into spots needing coverage.
  • and let dry in metal cupcake pan or on parchment paper. 
  • Sprinkle with salt as they dry. 
The added Salt makes the Sparks shine. Table salt : Yellow  and Epson White 
Epsom salt: White
