With These Herbs Make Your Smudge Stick
Needed:
Branches of Rosemary, sage, pinon,
pine, or juniper (or a mixture)
Colored cotton twine
Sharp shears
Put everything on a table and proceed to trim your pieces into lengths of 6" to 8" inches.
Unroll a piece of twine long enough to wrap a decent size bundle from top to bottom.
Starting from the tips of the branches, bind them in a criss-cross manner to form a stick.
Continue wrapping until you reach the base then wind the twine tightly around the stems, tie a knot, and clip the excess.
Let it dry out so it will burn well.
To use, light it and gently shake it over a fireproof container to put out the flame.
These make excellent gifts and look & smell great displayed in a big earthen bowl.
