Steps to Make Homemade Incense Cones
Choose Your Herbs
When it comes to incense, there are many different types of herbs that can be used. However, before selecting the right ones, make sure to consider your needs – some will help you relax while others will help you focus.
After choosing the right ingredients and scent formula, using a stove top vaporizer or incense burner is all that’s left!
Grind Your Herbs
Although incense is often thought of as a smoky, mysterious substance, it can actually be quite simple to make at home. All you need are some herbs and spices, and a grinder to turn them into fine powder. Here are four tips on how to grind your own incense:
- Gather your ingredients and get to grinding!
- Choose the right herbs for your particular needs.
- Add them all together and let the magic begin!
- Enjoy your homemade incense cones for a relaxing, soothing experience
Add Water and any Other Liquid Ingredients
Once hot, add water and any other liquid ingredients and stir until combined.
Next, pour mixture into a jar or bowl, and then let it cool for about an hour before using. Store your homemade incense cones in a cool, dark place.
Shape the Incense Cone
Begin by heating the ingredients on the stove until they are hot. Once they are warm, use your hands to shape them into cone-like shapes.
Drape each cone with a fragrance of your choice before letting them sit for a few minutes so that the fragrances can mix together well. Then light up these heavenly scents and enjoy!
Remove the Cone From the Piping tip
It is important to take the cone off the piping tip by unscrewing it so that leaves and other debris don’t get stuck in the pipe.
After washing your hands, dry them properly before filling a small bowl with water and pouring it into the cone. Place the cone on a plate with chopsticks or a fork so that the hole at top is facing down. Use your fingers to unscrew the bottom of the cone (make sure not to break it).
Remove all leaves and pieces of wood from inside, then dry them thoroughly before adding fragrance or sandalwood oil.
Repeat Until you Have Used all of Your Incense Mixture
Now that you have the ingredients and tools, it’s time to get started with incense making! First, gather your ingredients – beeswax, essential oils, charcoal and a burner.
Next, melt the beeswax and add your chosen essential oil. Once melted, place the mixture into a cone or ball shape and put it on top of the charcoal burner.
Allow this mixture to burn until all of its ingredients have melted together and taken on a light brown color. This could take up to 30 minutes depending on your burner type – be patient!
Once finished burning (it should smell really aromatic!), remove from heat and let cool before use!
Dry Your Homemade Incense Cones
It’s important to take care of the cones so that they stay fresh and fragrant for as long as possible.
To ensure optimum results, make sure to store the cones in a dry place and carefully dry them off using either a fan or the wind. Once you are done, make sure to seal the incense cone with wax or another lid for extra protection.
Store Your Homemade Incense in a Sealed Container
You can use different containers – from jars and bottles to drawers – for storage. It’s also a good idea to experiment with different scent combinations, so you can find the one that suits you best.
Once you have found a fragrant combination that works for you, make sure to keep it sealed in an airtight container for freshness!
Use Sparingly
When it comes to incense, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, make sure you start off with a small batch so you can experiment with different blends of essential oil.
Incense cones also offer several relaxation and meditation benefits – perfect for times when the office is feeling cramped or stressful!
As always, be sparing when using incense – too much of it can actually have the opposite effect and cause more stress than relief!
