This project shows you how to make twenty lightweight homemade firelighters using wood wool, beeswax, and cooking oil. This DIY project takes about thirty minutes, start to finish, and the firestarters light up in a flash.

The one thing I’d note is that they are all slightly different sizes but that isn’t really an issue as even the smaller ones are still a very decent size. Once made they can last indefinitely and you only need a couple at a time to start a fire, though you can use 1-4 at a time.
