Making incense with fragrance oil is a fun and easy DIY project that can be customized to your liking.

Incense has been used for thousands of years in various cultures for religious and spiritual practices, aromatherapy, and relaxation. Making incense with fragrance oil is a fun and easy DIY project that can be customized to your liking. In this blog post, we’ll go through the steps on how to make incense with fragrance oil.

Materials you’ll need:

  • Incense blanks (or unscented bamboo sticks)
  • Fragrance oil of your choice
  • Dropper
  • Small bowl or dish
  • Plastic wrap or ziplock bag
  • Gloves (optional)
  • Wax paper or parchment paper

Step 1: Choose Your Incense Blanks The first step in making incense with fragrance oil is to choose your incense blanks. You can use pre-made incense blanks, which are thin wooden sticks that have been soaked in a combustible mixture, or unscented bamboo sticks.

Step 2: Choose Your Fragrance Oil Choose the fragrance oil that you want to use for your incense. There are many different fragrance oils available, from floral scents to earthy scents. You can also mix different fragrance oils to create your own unique blend.

Step 3: Prepare Your Work Area Protect your work area with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent any spills or stains. You may also want to wear gloves to protect your hands from the fragrance oil.

Step 4: Dilute the Fragrance Oil Dilute the fragrance oil with a carrier oil, such as almond oil or jojoba oil. The recommended ratio is usually 1 part fragrance oil to 2 parts carrier oil. Mix the oils together in a small bowl or dish.

Step 5: Soak the Incense Blanks Dip the incense blanks into the fragrance oil mixture. Use a dropper to apply the mixture evenly along the length of the incense blank. Be careful not to over-saturate the incense blanks, as this can cause them to burn too quickly.

Step 6: Let the Incense Blanks Dry Place the incense blanks on a sheet of plastic wrap or in a ziplock bag and let them dry for at least 24 hours. This will allow the fragrance oil to soak into the incense blanks and for the oils to dry and evaporate, leaving the fragrance behind.

Step 7: Store Your Incense Once the incense blanks are dry, store them in an airtight container or bag to preserve the fragrance. You can also wrap them in wax paper or parchment paper and tie them with a ribbon or string for a decorative touch.

Congratulations! You have successfully made incense with fragrance oil. Light your new incense sticks and enjoy the beautiful scent that fills your home. You can also experiment with different fragrances and create your own unique blends for a personalized aromatherapy experience.
