1. Find a candle in your house and burn the wax to make a small pool around the flame.
2. One at a time dip your the red end of your ordinary matches into the melted wax.
3. Set each wax-dipped match on a plate or parchment paper to set hard.
4. When the wax has set hard, store your waterproof matches in a plastic zipper bag in a cool, dry place ready for use in any emergency. Use as normal.

I like waterproof matches because they light even after being used in the rain, and they are ideal for boating, hiking, and camping. A friend suggested that we should make our own waterproof matches, and the guidelines in your article will unquestionably come in handy.
