Mix 1 part
fragrance oil to 2 or 3
parts solvent liquid (DPG), and mix well. Do not use
alcohol in place of DPG, it does not work well. Do not
use straight fragrance oil as it will make excessively
smoky incense! Any of our fragrance oils can be used for
incense, regardless of flash point or soap/lotion
safety, etc. Some popular incense scents are
Patchouli, Nag Champa,
Sandalwood, Lavender, Jasmine, Frankincense & Myrrh,
Vanilla, Enchanted Forest and Rain. Some other scent
suggestions would be Mountain Rain, Amber Musk, Cedar
Wood, Cinnamon Spice, .Or how about some Citronella bug
repellant sticks for summer time! Or an Aroma Moods
line, perfect for a gift set!
Soak incense in scent mixture for 24 hours in a glass or
HDPE plastic container. Soaking takes patience,
but is necessary to allow the incense to fully absorb
the oil. A shallow glass baking pan works well to
lay sticks in and submerge in the oil. Or you can soak
the sticks while still bundled in a tall glass
vase or cylinder. For cones, a glass bowl works well.
After soaking, pour the leftover oil mixture into a
glass or HDPE plastic bottle, such as our fragrance
bottles, for storage. You can use this again to make
more incense, it doesn't go to waste!
Lay the cones or sticks out on a screen or drying rack
with several layers of paper towel underneath to soak up
any drips. Or if your sticks are still bundled, you can
hang them to dry on a hook with paper towel underneath.
Be sure to put them where they will get air flow to help
them dry (you may use a fan to speed the process). Do
not bake the incense in an oven or microwave to dry it!
Incense must be allowed to dry completely for at least
48 hours before burning. If incense is still wet or
damp, it will not burn properly! Be patient and allow it
to dry fully before using for best results. Cones tend
to take a little longer than sticks because of their
thickness. Note: It is also important that you make sure
the incense is totally dry with no wet or damp spots
before packaging in plastic bags or tubes, etc!
Fragrance oils are very strong and can melt or eat
through many types of plastic!
16 oz. of scent mixture
should make approx. 500 or more sticks or cones.
Properly made, fully dried incense should burn for
approximately 45 minutes to over 1 hour.
Incense is very popular
and a great seller at flea markets, craft booths, etc,
especially with the younger crowd! Most people package
their incense in bags of 20 sticks or cones, usually
selling for about a dollar or more. That's about 3 to 4
times your cost, a great profit! Let the customers mix
and match, they love a variety! You may also want to
offer a bulk package of 100 for a savings to your
customers, and more volume sales for you! For a
professional looking package, try printing your own
"labels" on Avery business cards, and fold the card over
top of your bag and staple it. Use a hole punch to make
a hole in the top of the card to hang on a rack
