DIY: Holiday Fire Starters with Moon Canyon

Yesterday, I shared all the details of our upcoming Holiday Wreath Shop with Moon Canyon. In keeping with the handmade holiday theme, Moon Canyon’s own Kristen Caissie was kind enough to share some tips and tricks for creating fire starters, both natural and fragrant. Super easy and fun to make, they are just perfect for this time of year and make great hostess gifts.

Kristen shared that to make your own, simply gather fragrant herbs, holiday foliage (cedar, pine and fir, for example), cinnamon sticks, etc. and roll them up tightly into Kraft or newspaper. You can even double layer the paper, if you like. When wrapping, be sure to do so as tightly as possible, and when done, tie each end with natural twine or string. She noted that you can get as creative as you like with the paper and string…just as long as it burns cleanly. The finished product: a beautiful, fragrant holiday fire starter. XXJKE
