Materials

Several sheets of newspaper or used printer paper

Toilet paper tubes (one for each fire starter you want to make)

Dryer lint

Melted wax (if desired)

Instructions

Find a safe work surface that is out of reach from children and animals. Lay out a piece of newspaper to cover the surface.

Stand your toilet paper tubes upright on top of your work surface. Loosely stuff some dryer lint inside each of the toilet paper tubes. Note: If you are going to add melted wax, stuff the tube half full of dryer lint. Pour a small amount of wax on top of the dryer lint. Then, cover the top of the wax with additional dryer lint.

Take a separate piece of newspaper or used printer paper, and roll the paper tube up so that the outside is covered in the paper, tucking the ends inside the tube once you are done rolling.

To use: Place the fire starter at the base of your campfire, topping it with twigs and small kindling. Light the fire starter and enjoy your campfire!
