Two members of the Hillman family and I were ambitious. We purchase of wax, collected egg cardboard holders and collected dryer lint. We then made fire starters.

• First you need to Stuff lint from your clothes dryer into the bowl portion of the cardboard egg holder. You can also stuff lint into discarded toilet paper rolls.
• Pack the carton tightly but don’t overflow it I think that’s I did wrong on mine while Julie had hers level to the bowl and less would be easier to manage.
• I watch one video where a fellow also lined lint the debris from a pencil sharpener refuse which is cedar, and carbon called graphite to mix up with the lint. He rolled it up tightly and stuffed stuff into the shell of a toilet paper roll. Another option is to use a paper towel roll and maybe cut in half.
• You melt the wax and pour the liquid over the lint that is stuffed in your cardboard. It’s important to not let your wax boil. You also want to keep a distance away so that your face is not close in cases the drizzle spits hot wax. We put a cardboard underneath the eggshell cartons so everything leapt over to not be stuck on the stove.
• Some people will use cotton swabs instead of lint.
• We put lint in egg shells and some in toilet paper rolls. So if you want to find a good use for your lint start saving it. And then by some wax used your egg shells cartons that are not Styrofoam.
• Once your wax is hardened over the eggshell cartons you can use a knife to cut the little shells apart.
• One thing thoroughly dry, you can store them in Ziploc’s to keep them dry.

Here are some videos I watched of people doing this for themselves.
