Simply cut a piece of wool around 10 or 15cm and stick the handle of the roller to make circles holding said roll by the party would use to paint if it was the role.

We can simply paste a piece of duct tape as shown below.

Note that if the steel wool compacted by squeezing by hand will burn less and less sparks, while if, instead of compacting, the open, more sparks but will take less.

Everything depends on the outcome we want to obtain.

Once we have all built, with a single burner will burn the steel wool and it depends on your creativity using the same.
