Place the cupcake liners in the pan.
Heat beeswax in a double boiler. Fill the larger saucepan with 2 inches of water. Add the wax pellets to the smaller saucepan and place inside the larger one. Heat the water in the large saucepan on low heat. Stir the wax gently until it is fully melted.
Once fully melted, dip the end of each wick in the wax and then stick to the bottom of each cupcake liner to secure.
Add bigger items such as pinecones and branches to the cupcake liners.
Pour the melted wax slowly over the items. Fill until it just covers your item. Then you can add other items, such as flowers on top.
Allow the fire starters to cool and harden to room temperature for at least 24 hours before trimming the wicks.
Cut wicks to 1 inch in length.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
