Diy Smudge Sticks

I love using natural ingredients in my diys.
Autumn is the perfect time for collecting materials for winter diys. In this little project you could use about anything with a good fragrance. Smudge sticks were traditionally used to cleanse rooms/houses from negative energies. I simply use them as room scent (and if they remove bad energies, thats a bonus :)

Step 1: Materials

Herbs/flowers
Twine

Scissors

Step 2: How To:

Gather your herbs/flowers and make little bundles.
Wrap the twine around the herbs. Tie the twine tightly, as the bundle will shrink when the herbs dry.

Step 3:

I used lavender, lemongrass, rosemary and cinnamon in my smudge sticks.
Other herbs that works great is; lemon balm, mint, thyme and eucalyptus.

Step 4:

Dry the smudge sticks for at least two weeks

Step 5:

Light the smudge sticks on a fireproof underlay.
(Never leave fire/smoke unattended)

Fill your home with lovely fragrances!
