DIY Incense Holders

[@lvxvx]

You’re my favorite!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That made my night! Thank you love xx.

[@cassidy5678]

I would be worried about getting those glass shards or sand dirty, but it's very very cute and would still look good for the first few uses i'm sure!!

[@darelleknight]

I'm kinda looking at everything now, wondering if I can drill an angled hole in it.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

If you don't feel comfortable with a drill, a hammer and a nail will do as well! You can shimmy something underneath the nail to make sure it doesn't move.

[@bbutterfly36]

Omg I laughed so hard when I read this hahahahahhahahah Im legit now thinking the same thing 😂 thank you for the laugh ❤️🥰☺️

[@stephanshaw6201]

So I'm trying Insence now for the first time, I bought them out of impulse just like sure let me hive it a try, I came to realize though that I actually need a holder for it to burn on & I bought these things in the city, where I live, they can't be found, so it's nice to see that I can actually just make a holder from stuff laying around.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay! I'm stoked you found this helpful.

[@Geoffr524]

I just bought incense for the first time today, even though my grocery store, always had it. Bought. Gonesh Sticks Black Cherry, Jasmine, Patchouli, Nag Champa, and Lavender incense, and now to find a fire proof incense holder.

[@lilamontoya5609]

Same

[@danadz2383]

Fantastic! I needed a cool holder for my incense. Enjoying Dragons Blood right now.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I need to try that one out! Thank you Dana for the love xx.

[@RayvensWorld]

oh my gosh same. Gonesh Dragons Blood

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Left holder not right

[@passiont.7528]

It’s a good thing I found your video because I’m looking for an incense holder to hold more than one incense stick. I personally like the jar & sand holder better. I can get some sand from the city park and find a jar & voilà

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I am so stoked you came across my channel as well! Thanks for the love and support xx.

[@inR59]

How do you clean the jar once the ash is in the sand

[@1GQ_gent]

Love all of them! Inspired me to use an old cheese board for an incense holder.

[@sandysue202]

These are awesome! I have so much "junk" sitting around and the ideas with the jars are really simple and easy!! Love this video and thank you!! ❤

[@scooterdalton3144]

wow, mind blown.. you and this video just stepped up my game! THANK YOU

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Wow thank you!

[@220dramaqueen]

I wish I knew about your channel sooner!! I love your style, aesthetic and how your tutorials are unique!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Erin! Thank you so much!

[@erinfitzgerald4117]

great video loved the editing style

[@Essuna]

Yes! Redoing my studio and wanted something pretty but simple for my incense holder and this is awesome! Thanks!

[@lifeofjess27]

I love these designs! So clever! Thanks for sharing. The 2x4 one came out especially well. I was surprised how good it looks!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks for the love Jessica!

[@BrandonTube6632]

Can you stick one inside of an old candle without removing the wax?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I think so but wax is easy to remove! Pour boiling water into it and it will raise in 5 minutes.

[@erichoward8317]

I love burning incense and ive never thought about making my own holder I’m definitely going to make the last one you made with the storage holder. What are some of you favorite incense?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Right now in rotation I have all PF Candle Co. incense - teakwood and tobacco, piñon and golden coast. Piñon is my favorite at the moment!

[@VIDEOEPPO]

I liked the last one actually!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yay!

[@ramonajacobs9402]

Girl, you are brilliant! How simple to do.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you my love!

[@kajacapi8520]

lovely video can I use salt to fill the jar? I don't live by the beach so i can't get sand

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I think so? Not sure though.

[@redpumpkin28]

Kaja Capi: You can definitely use salt to fill a jar, no problem. If you DO want sand though (or anyone else lol), there's quite a few options on where a person can get some. - Easiest and cheapest place to get sand would probably be Walmart. At mine, they sell 42oz bags of either pure white sand, or sand/stone granules in the craft department for $5. You could also shop Target, or anywhere that sells crafts, really. - Dollar Tree (or some other dollar store) might actually have sand! Totally just thought of this. I honestly can't remember if they sell sand, but I do know they have different types of really nice decorative rocks in netted bags for only $1, so they might!! - All hardware stores sell sand, and at least some sell more than just builders or play sand. At Lowes, I once bought some actual beach sand. I know they sell their nice decorative type sand (in small amount-perfect for this project) back in the garden section where they sell indoor house plants and indoor plant soils/fertilizers. - Amazon I'm sure has some good deals if a Prime member or free shipping is offered. A couple of other things I can think of that people may already have around their homes and could use are rice, and...my fav...cat litter. Those are both things that I'm almost positive can be purchased at Family Dollar, too. * MY TIP: When using cat litter...I personally don't use the nice scoopable kind that I use in our kitty litter boxes...too expensive!! Since I've always kept a box of cheap store brand cat litter in my garage year around for accidental spills (it's great for pouring over kerosene, gasoline, or oil spills-tiki torch oil especially), AND for using in an ashtray I keep in my garage, I assumed (correctly) it'd also be perfect to use in a ceramic jar along with my incense sticks! Sorry for the long read(!)...hopefully all this info and rambling will be helpful to someone though. 🙂

[@4444ellie]

These are all gorgeous. No run-of the-mill-DIY's here. Have you ever done reed diffusers? 😀💜⚡

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much Ellie! I have not done reed diffusers yet.

[@mkdameron]

I did the same but I'm having issues with ashes dropping outside of the candle jar and I use a large jar. Any ideas besides using a plate sized jar? Lol

[@Imyourgirlfriend]

I should've watch this video the whole time..thanks for the idea

[@jongregor_art]

Your videos are always ridiculously creative. You're fantastic

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Wow thank you Jon - I really strive for that so I appreciate the love xx.

[@trishameloling2367]

The last one was my favorite!

[@crystal.alanna6706]

Love these ideas!!!! I bought two cute holders but they don’t work well I can’t wait to do this project today!

[@natsnz5695]

Brilliant! Going to do sand and jar. So easy and free ❤️

[@ginocrededio7421]

Any good tips on how to clean that first one?

[@teflon1920]

You're so talented!! Yes!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@BigChief_1337]

My fav was the jar with the sand in it, have a perfect little jar gonna fill it up with dirt from outside and make sure it's fine ground dirt and use that

[@ganiginta5373]

This deserve more views,such an effort

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@amilyaaa9425]

This is way better than sticking them in an old candle or the cracks of your walls🤣🤣

[@Krishna-bj6uo]

It's really amazing seeing you grow through your DIY's. Super original and innovative content. Keep it up Rach!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I really appreciate that! I am definitely trying.

[@joyodrobina6893]

Thankyou , gonna try the sand jar

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Awesome!

[@polanito7467]

wow those turned out amazing, great job!! I love how creative and inexpensive this was!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@geoffreycartmill7717]

Excellent video and commentary! 😊

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you! 😃

[@marlenebean]

I love your ideas! I don't know why, but I always thought wood incense holders were dangerous. Do you think there is a chance of it igniting or am I being over dramatic?

[@juanitasullivan3372]

Excuse my ignorance here please, but as pretty as this is, is this for one time use only? Cleaning the ashes from all that would be a bit of work.

[@prideolea]

Love the candle idea. Thanks

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for the love!

[@debbieevans83]

Love incense,I've got plenty of long wood holders,but really love the glass jar idea✌love from 🇬🇧x

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks Debbie! I wanted something a little more chic to mesh with my office space.

[@jodisantillan3948]

Perfect! I just got some Nag champa sticks today and realized I have no holder! I do have sand from another project and tons of jars though 😍

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

There you go! It'll look beautiful!

[@dulcemaya1995]

Wow where where you my whole life your so creative and you have such good ideas XD thanks for inspiring me and giving me ideas

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much for the love!

[@CraftyMomof12]

What about the ashes in the jars

[@uranne]

Can I use rock salt or baking soda in a jar?

[@jannet7906]

I love the last one but afraid theres a chance the burnt incense that falls on the wood is still alive with fire and end up burning the wood. Any thoughts?

[@quantumrift11]

Thank you for including the rocks and sand ones first. Because you lost me at clamps. 😆

[@kdwashington8584]

My new favorite channel. Blessings

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

God Bless!

[@megztheshihtzu8745]

very nice job, but does ash falls in the dymonds ?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

It does but I just blow it off!

[@megztheshihtzu8745]

Thankyou :)

[@debfreeman8506]

What do you do with the falling ashes?

[@Will4fun]

Can regular table salt be used in place of the sand?

[@LevAgency]

you did, You just inspired me, and earned a Subscriber... Thank you. Suggestion: Add some "tips, tricks and safety to using incense sticks" to the newer video...

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I won't be doing a newer video but great feedback!

[@dragonbite44]

You might not read comments on this video but, will a mason jar with white sand work too?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Yes! Whatever container you'd like.

[@diychill6792]

This are such great ideas!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You’re so sweet!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That's awesome!

[@bretthadfield]

Where did you find the white sand?

[@aracely1528]

Yaaaaaaaaas! I needed this I always burn incense but only have one holder!! Keep it up! 🖤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much! 🙌🏼✨

[@adelypaz3707]

Awesome ! Thank you 🥰🫶

[@tiana6586]

Probably such a dumb question....but what's the best way to clean up the ashes with the mirrored one? Or the sand? Do you just scoop it out and add more?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I didn't think about that until I actually used it in the video haha. I just take it outside and blow on it - voila!

[@Aj-zt3fb]

I was wondering the same thing!

[@luisbolanos954]

amazing, I love it

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thanks Miguel!

[@CraftyMomof12]

[@aydiabrooks8422]

how do you clean all the ashes from the ones with sand and the one with rocks ?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I just blow and it comes out easily.

[@gelica7600]

Beautiful so creative :)

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@lindagibson744]

Awesome!!!

[@organicearsocksaltcobymimi3678]

What can I use so that the burnt insence doesn’t go all over the place?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

It's kind of hard to avoid unless you do the dish method.

[@haileyvasquez2091]

So cute !!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you Hailey!

[@leylagarcia2321]

Btw where did you get the insence?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I order mine from PF Candle Co www.pfcandleco.com - In my rotation of scents are their teakwood/tobacco, golden coast and piñon. Pinon is my favorite! pfcandleco.com/collections/incense

[@brooketaylor6765]

I know I'm late but I get mine from Indian stores, liquor stores and convenience stores. They are 10 cents where I live

[@shelbyb115]

Could you do some living room decor videos??

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Definitely as soon as I need to redecorate our living room!

[@raydencorvino1311]

the candle one is extra work, you can leave the wax in the candle and just stick your incense into the wax.

[@freewave04]

Thin piece was probably plywood but you should consider grain direction for durability

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you for that feedback!

[@karenannoyed153]

Can use salt instead of sand ?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I think so?

[@karenannoyed153]

Living to DIY with Rachel Metz ok just tried it. Not a good idea to use salt with cones. As in he’s in salt in place of sand. It gathers moisture in transfers heat. I’m going to go you sound instead.

[@karimrupshi1154]

Man your awesome

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

You are way too kind! Thank you!

[@wooopsloop2381]

Can I use rice for the Sand one

[@preetmakkar3784]

Won't the ash mess up the crystals?😕

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I just blow the ash out and it's solid.

[@HoldLeadersAccountable]

good job

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@porterexsik]

Do in sense make your smoke detectors go off tho??

[@LadiiieS]

Not at all. The smoke is not that strong, but to be safe, be sure not to have the incense directly below the alarm.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

No it not that strong at all!

I was looking for a easy way 😂

[@JazmyneDrakeford]

The crystals and sand is cute and all until you have ash and incense dust all mixed in them....

I just blow on it and it goes out easily haha not ideal but this is when I was newer to the DIY game and just sharing what I was trying out.
