2. Pour the melted wax into the container, filling each cup or compartment about halfway.
3. Add the tinder to the wax, making sure to pack it down lightly.
4. Allow the wax to cool and harden completely.
5. Once the wax is hardened, cut the container into individual fire starters.

To use:

1. Place a fire starter on top of your kindling.
2. Light the fire starter with a match or lighter.

Tips:

• For a more durable fire starter, use a metal container instead of a cardboard one.
• You can add other flammable materials to your fire starters, such as essential oils, spices, or dried herbs.
• Store your fire starters in a cool, dry place.
