Incense is traditionally used during religious or spiritual ceremonies, or to scent the air with the smell of ancient essential oils and herbs. Although you could purchase pre-made incense from a specialty store, they can often contain chemicals that you would not want floating around in the air as you burn the incense. Luckily, you can create your own hand-dipped incense by following a few basic guidelines that will ensure your incense will be richly scented and will burn smoothly.
Step 1
Fill the bottom of a jelly roll pan with 16 oz. of fragrance or essential oil, any scent you like.

Step 2
Place ten to twenty incense blanks into the jelly roll tray.
Step 3
Leave the incense blanks in the oil for around two minutes.
Step 4
Remove the incense, holding them by the stick ends.
Step 5
Tie the ends of the incense together using medium-weight twine.
Step 6
Tie the other end of the twine onto a cabinet.
Step 7
Place the tray underneath the hanging incense to catch the dripping oil.
Step 8
Allow the incense to air dry completely before using them.
