It's something cheap, easy and kid friendly to add to an existing gift or to bring as a token of appreciation to a get together. To "pretty" them up I cut out individual egg cups, take a couple layers of newspaper about 6" square and wrap the cups, securing with some twine or other natural fibers. You can make them look however you want... folded over like a box-shaped present or (my favourite) with a puff of newspaper sticking out the top. It also makes it easier to light!

Some times I use melted candle wax on the end both ways have worked for me. I use the dryer lint and pack it into a cardboard toilet paper roll.

I've always wondered how much better it would work if I compressed the lint - I think I'll give that a try. Nice!

I layer lint and wood shavings and smash as much as I can into each egg. Then I take an old candle completely coat the entire top with a nice layer of wax. It takes a while but its fun to do while watching tv. I've gotten 2 dozen out of one candle so far and can probably get another 2 dozen before its gone. It only takes 1 egg to get the fire going!
