Whimsical Clay Ghost Incense Burners
Combine cute, whimsical design with sensory comfort by crafting your own clay ghost incense holders. These adorable little specters sit over incense cones; when lit, the smoke gently billows out of their hollow eyes and mouths, creating a cozy, mesmerizing, and fragrant display that is perfect for chilly autumn evenings.
Using air-dry clay, sculpt simple, hollow dome shapes with wavy bottom edges to resemble classic cartoon ghosts. Use a straw or a clay tool to punch out two eyes and a small mouth. Once the clay is completely dry, smooth any rough edges with fine sandpaper and paint them with a matte white acrylic paint. Place the hollow ghost over a burning incense cone on a heat-safe dish, and watch as the sweet scent of cinnamon, amber, or patchouli drifts sleepily from the ghost’s eyes.
