If you have ever used an incense stick or cone, then you know how important it is to exercise caution when burning them. Failure can result in fire or explosion hazard. Fortunately, there are ways to make burning incense sticks or cones easier and safer for everyone involved.
One way to accomplish this is by using a special incense holder, known as a censer. These come in various shapes and sizes and can be made out of ceramic or stone materials. They usually accommodate cored or solid incense sticks for burning.
When selecting incense for your burning needs, there are a few types to choose from. Cored incense sticks look similar to stick incense but contain an inner core. These sticks tend to be heavier and last longer than regular incense sticks while producing less ash scatter.
Incense sticks and cones often come with a holder that rests atop ash, making it simpler to light them. Alternatively, you can purchase a cone holder that fits inside a bowl or plate for convenience.
Another option is to invest in a censer with an artistic shape like an elephant or lotus flower. These incense holders are usually made of ceramic with a small hole at the top that allows you to hold both cored and solid incense sticks.
These incense holders can be purchased from your local craft store or on Amazon. They’re an ideal way to showcase your favorite scents and add a touch of elegance to any room.
Incense comes in many varieties and each has a potent scent that can be relaxing. When selecting your incense, ensure to pick one that appeals to you personally and helps you unwind.
For optimal enjoyment of incense, having the ideal burner and holder is essential. You can achieve this by purchasing a censer or crafting one yourself out of wood or bamboo.
If you want to add some personal flair to your incense, why not try making your own holders from clay? This project is easy enough for any beginner and can be a rewarding craft experience.
To begin, roll out your clay and cut it into whatever design you desire. You can use tools, cookie cutters, or popsicle sticks for this step if desired.
Once your clay has been cut into the desired design, place it on a sheet of baking paper and flatten it out. After cooling has taken place, your clay will be ready for use.
To remove your incense stick’s bottom from its holder hole, use a small knife or needle. Afterwards, use the tip of your tool to scrape away any excess clay around its edges. You could also use a nail or hammer, but be sure it’s very hard so as not to damage the holder.
