Super Quick to make they eliminate the need to search for matches and are very handy for wood stoves and camping!

insert the match in the side 
of each cup
( I first tried to put the match in the cup but they moved to much to light easily so I switched to the side it works much better)
now your done
I keep them by my wood stove they will burn for at least 5 min, 
they are also good for camping.
