DIY Smudge Sticks
by Lena
3 Materials
I love using natural ingredients in my diys.
Autumn is the perfect time for collecting materials for winter diys, such as pinecones, moss and sticks. My greenhouse is full of baskets with all kinds of natural materials for winter and holidays.
In this little project you could use about anything with a good fragrance. Smudge sticks were traditionally used to cleanse rooms or houses from negative energies. I simply use the sticks as room scent during the winter (and if they remove bad energies, thats a bonus :)

To start off, take a walk in your garden or in the woods, to collect herbs or flowers :)
Gather your herbs/flowers and make little bundles.
I used lavender, lemongrass, rosemary and cinnamon in my smudge sticks.
Dry the smudge sticks for at least two weeks
Light the smugde sticks on a fireproof underlay.

This is interesting. Sound like a great idea. Like a blend of potpourri and incense in a small bundle. Love it.
