How to make home made smudge sticks;
Gather your herbs / flowers and your twine. To make Sage bundle use Sage, very dry Lavender, some Rosemary and a couple of daisies for a feminine effect.

STEP 2.

Cut your pieces to a similar length no longer than 15cm (smaller is fine) Start your bundle by placing all your herbs & flowers together with their bases aligning.

STEP 3.

Grab your Twine / Cotton and cut the length to be 4 times the length of your longest stalk.

STEP 4.

Wrap your twine around the base of all your sticks and tie a knot. From here, with the long end of the twine, start to tightly wrap your herbs / flowers by wrapping the twine around and around up the herbs. It doesn't need to be evenly spaced but the tighter the better for burning.

Once you reach the top of the bundle, continue wrapping, crisscrossing the twine as you head back down toward the base. Tie the loose end to the original knot at the base of the stick.

STEP 5.

For best results, hang your smudge sticks upside down in a sunny spot, and allow at least 3 weeks drying time.
