How to make handmade incense burners

When making your incense products, you have full control of the ingredients, ensuring that they are natural and free of harmful chemicals.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of wood powder (sandalwood, cedar, or any aromatic wood)
• 1/2 cup powdered charcoal
• 1 tablespoon gum arabic (as a binder)
• 1 tablespoon water (to dissolve gum arabic)
• 1 tablespoon dried herbs or flowers (optional, to add texture and aroma)
• 30-40 drops essential oils (choose your favorite fragrances or combine to create a unique blend)
• Bamboo sticks or incense sticks
• A mixing bowl
• Parchment paper or wax paper

Preparation:

1. Base Mix:
   • In a bowl, combine the wood powder, charcoal powder, and gum arabic. Gum Arabic can be found in natural product stores or craft stores.
   • Gradually add water to the mixture to form a smooth paste.
2. Incorporation of ingredients and fragrances:
   • If you want to add additional texture and aroma, mix dried herbs or flowers into the paste.
   • Incorporate 30-40 drops of your favorite essential oils. You can experiment with unique combinations to personalize your scent.
3. Formation of Sahumerio Rods:
   • Wrap the paste around the bamboo sticks or incense sticks, making sure they are evenly covered.
   • Place the rods on parchment or wax paper in a cool, dry place to dry for at least 24 hours.
4. Storage:
   • Once dry, store your incense in an airtight container to preserve the fragrance until use.
   • When you want to use them, light the tip and let it burn for a few seconds. Turn off the flame and enjoy the aromatic smoke. You will be surprised by its delicious aroma!

Now that you have created your own incense burners, you can enjoy a personalized atmosphere in your home. Explore the magic of the aromas you have designed, and let every corner of your sacred space be filled with the positive energy you have created.
