Fire Starter

Im going to be showing you how to make a fire starter with cotton swabs and petroleum jelly.(Chapstick will also work) These fire starters are waterproof and you can also light them with a spark!

Step 1: Materials

The materials your gonna need are:

A lighter (something to ignite it with)
Cotton swabs
Petroleum Jelly (or Chapstick)
Paper towels (optional, to wipe your hands off)

Step 2:

You need only one cotton swab to do this, but im gonna be using 3 to make the flame bigger. First, take off the cotton part from the cotton swabs.

Step 3:

Separate the cotton so there are no clumps.

Step 4:

Take the petroleum jelly and coat the cotton it it, forming a ball

Step 5:

Now, just light it on fire! It will stay lit for a little more than a minute, plenty of time to get a nice fire going.
