Fire Starter Pine Cones

Ingredients

• ▢ 8-10 pine cones
• ▢ 6 cups of grated beeswax
• ▢ Essential oil pick your favorite
• ▢ Candle coloring or natural dye
• ▢ String

Instructions

• Take about 1 foot of string and wrap it around the pine cone. Tie it at the top with a loop.
• Melt the beeswax in a saucepan that you don’t mind getting waxy. Once the wax is melted portion out into disposable tin bowls and add coloring and essential oil. You will need about 6 drops of Essential oils each.
• Dip the pine cones in and let dry between coats. I did two coats and that worked well for me.
• Let dry on a parchment lined tray.
• When you are ready to use light and toss into the fire.

Notes

*** PLEASE use caution when you are near fire. Always be aware of your surroundings. Use at your own risk ***

These are to be used OUTSIDE only, these are the perfect bon fire addition.
