How to Make Incense Sticks Naturally Using Punk Sticks

Make your own incense with punk sticks and essential oils.

It is easy to purchase incense sticks online or from a specialty shop, but it is less expensive to make your own. Using punk sticks and the essential oils of your choice, you can make your own incense with little effort.

Things You'll Need

• Baking sheet
• Essential oils of your choice
• Punk sticks
• Rubbing alcohol
• Newspaper
• Airtight bags or tinfoil

Instructions

1. Lay your punk sticks in a single layer on your baking sheet.

2. Pour your essential oil over them. If your essential oils are thick or expensive, you can cut them with rubbing alcohol. Use ½ ounce of alcohol for every ounce of oil.

3. Allow your sticks to sit for ½ hour, until they are completely saturated with oil.

4. Lay your punk sticks on a newspaper to dry.

5. Store your incense in airtight bags or wrap them in tinfoil while they are still a little damp.

Tips & Warnings

• Once you use a baking sheet to make incense, it shouldn't be used for food any more, as the food will absorb the flavor of your essential oils.
