Stack the two nuts on top of eachother in the middle of the cup, they'll serve as a wick holder. Put the rolled paper in the hole of the nuts. The paper must be cut so it reaches a little bit above the border of the nuts. The underside of the paper wick must touch the bottom of the cup.
Fill with oil, but keep the level under the top of the stacked nuts to prevent the flame from drowning.
Wait until the wick is completely soaked with oil.
Light it like a normal candle. You'll find that it takes longer until it catches fire because vegetable oil has a higher boiling and flame point than candle oil or candle wax.
