Have you ever received a flower bouquet and wondered what else can you do with them besides putting them on display before they completely dry?
Why not prolong their value and make incense out of them? From an online florist in Singapore, here’s a 3-step guide on how you can assemble your own incense bundles.
How to Make Incense with Flowers
Step 1: Collect the Ingredients. Besides flowers, you will also need other ingredients like herbs—sage, eucalyptus, bay leaves, etc.—for added fragrance and twine to tie the bundles together.
Step 2: Tie Them Together. Lay the ingredients in the same direction and tie them into bundles. Make sure to wrap the twine tightly around each.
Step 3: Let the Bundles Dry. Hang each bundle upside down and let them dry. The time it will take for them to dry will be based on the humidity in your place.
In most cases, it will take about 1-2 weeks for the bundle to dry. Make sure that the bundle dries completely before burning it otherwise, it will not burn.
