Make a fireplace lighter yourself

Cozy warm winter evenings guaranteed!


I love log fires! You too?

It is a completely different, more natural and homely warmth than that of the central heating.


Together with a delicious hot cup of tea, cocoa, milk, a well-filled plate of homemade cookies or other Christmas treats and a good book or film, it is almost the best thing about winter for me.




Required material:

  • Wax residues

  • Cones

  • Pot of water

  • small high pot to melt


Manufacturing:

  • Fill the pot a little over halfway with water.

  • Fill the smaller pot with leftover wax and place it in the large one.

  • Make sure that the small pot cannot tip over and that the water in the large one remains about 7-10 cm below the edge of the pot.

  • Reduce the amount if necessary.

  • Heat the water bath slowly, stay below the boiling point.

  • Caution, the water bath can bubble and splash violently through the air that collects under the smaller pot!

  • Let the wax melt slowly and completely.

  • Turn off the stove.

  • Using meat tongs or similar cone by cone, dip it completely into the liquid wax and set it aside to dry.

  • Beware, wax gets very hot, so I recommend wearing kitchen gloves.

  • Let the cones cool / dry completely.

  • Repeat the process and then let it cool down completely


Is now beautiful long fireside chats nothing in the way!
