Start melting the wax. Now glue the wicks onto the bottom of the tin. If the wicks are too big cut them to size so when you close the lid they don't get crushed.

Pour the Wax Into the Tin

Once your wax is melted, pour it into the tin where your wicks are. And leave about an inch of wick uncovered. (It depends on the depth of your can) Now let the wax harden.

Tape the Matches to the Lid

So tape as many matches as you can to the lid. Also cut a piece if the striker and tape that to. Now it's up to you, you can customize this. You can make it into a survival kit. Have fun and good luck. Don't burn your house down :)
