Yeah I love making these too. My hubby does some wood working, so any small pieces of wood that he's going to throw out, I use a big drill bit and drill holes all through the wood and collect all the wood chips for my fire starters. In a half hour, I can get a 2 quart container full of chips. I also use the baking cups. Through the years I have bought so many candles, I would burn about half and if it didn't give off a good scent, I would stop using it. I mean really, what is the point? Don't we all want a great smelling candle. So that is what use for my fire starters. Beats throwing the wax out. I'm a penny pincher, I hate to waste anything. Just call me El Cheapo Sandy
