I'm not a huge fan of incense sticks as they can be very pungent, but sometimes you just need them! After a garlic dinner for example it can be nice to cleanse the room slightly:)
Now my mum simply perches the sticks on the side of the sink in the kitchen or bathroom so the ashes fall into the sink. But I found this simple and creative DIY to make an incense holder that looks lovely in any room and doesn't a create mess!
All you need for this DIY is:
- A piece of wood (I bought this piece in the garden centre but you can always go foraging in the woods to see what you can find!)
-Hammer
-Nail
-Incense sticks
Take the nail and hammer and gently hammer the nail into the wood to create a hole for the stick. Make sure to bang the nail in gently and slightly slanted so the ashes will fall onto the wood. Take the nail out of the wood and place the incense into the hole you have made. And there you have it! Your DIY incense stick holder!
I made one for my mum as they are so easy to make and it is a gift that is handy and doesn't take up hardly any room.
It's such a simple way of adding nature and a rustic feel into your home and it's also very useful!
Have fun with this DIY!
