Candle starters are a great way to make lighting candles easier and faster. They are especially useful when you have candles with deep or hard-to-reach wicks, or when you want to light multiple candles at once. Here are five different ways you can make your own candle starters at home:

Cotton Balls and Petroleum Jelly: Mix petroleum jelly and cotton balls together until the cotton balls are coated with the jelly. Store them in a jar or small container and use them to light your candles.

Dryer Lint and Wax: Save your dryer lint and mix it with melted wax to create a fire starter that works well for lighting candles. Shape the mixture into small balls and store them in a container for easy access.

Rolled-up Paper: Take a few pieces of newspaper or scrap paper and roll them tightly into a tube shape. Secure the tube with a piece of string or twist tie and dip one end of the tube into melted wax. Allow the wax to harden and then use the untreated end to light your candles.

Pine Cones and Wax: Collect pine cones and dip them into melted wax. Allow the wax to harden and then use the pine cones to light your candles. They can be stored in a jar or container until you’re ready to use them.

Egg Cartons and Wax: Cut an egg carton into individual cups and fill each cup with melted wax. Allow the wax to harden and then cut the cups apart. You can use the cups as individual candle starters, or break them apart and use the wax-coated carton as a fire starter for a larger fire.

These DIY candle starters are easy to make and can be customized to your preference. They are also a great way to repurpose items you might have otherwise thrown away, making them an eco-friendly option for lighting your candles.
