Do you enjoy burning incense sticks and the calm atmosphere they create?
If you’ve ever wondered how to make a zero-waste incense stick holder at home, this guide is for you.
Instead of buying new accessories that often come with unnecessary packaging or materials, try making your own incense stick holder at home with our simple DIY made with things you probably already have at home or can easily find outside. It’s zero-waste, budget-friendly and beautifully mindful.
What You'll Need
A thick glass container or small jar
A handful of stones or pebbles
Optional: sand, if your glass is thinner
Instructions
Fill the bottom of your glass with stones or pebbles, this will help hold the incense in place.
If your glass is thin, add a layer of sand first. It helps distribute heat evenly and keeps the glass from cracking.
Insert your incense stick between the stones so it stands upright.
Light the incense, take a deep breath, and let the aroma fill your space.
Why Choose a DIY Incense Holder?
Creating your own incense stick holder helps reduce waste and repurpose what you already own. Every time you reuse materials instead of buying new ones, you help minimize pollution and unnecessary production, small steps that add up to meaningful change.
Extra Tip
If you love getting creative, try shaping your own incense holder with DAS or air-dry clay. Once dry, it becomes a beautiful, personalized piece you can reuse again and again.
