Easy Incense for the slim budget

Maybe you are on a slim budget, have no budget at all or simply don't have a new age shop around to buy incense and charcoals. Where there is a will there is a way -- and a few simple things from the kitchen.  Nearly every kitchen out there has these three things: a glass container (wine glass, empty glass jar, or old candle votive), cinnamon spice, and salt. The only other things you need are notebook or typing paper and matches or lighter.

Put 1 to 2 inches of salt in the glass or jar that is at least 4 inches or taller. Now, cut a thin strip of paper that is at least one inch shorter than the top of your glass and at least one inch taller than the salt.  Push this empty paper tube down in the salt in the middle of the glass.  Now fill the tube sticking up out of the salt with ground cinnamon.  Light the paper on fire and VOILA! You have a beautiful smelling incense. ;0)

Wish I could take the credit for this idea but I got it from this YouTube video.  Be sure to watch the full video as she has lots of helpful ideas. Embedding isn't allowed so click the links.
