6. Archway Incense Burner
What This Idea Means
Inspired by Mediterranean architectural forms, this functional incense burner catches falling ash inside a minimalist, arched clay frame.
How to Make It
- Roll a slab and cut out a curved arch ribbon and a long rectangular tray base.
- Score and slip the arch ends to attach across the width of the tray.
- Poke a small hole in the upper center of the arch or on a small pillar base inside the tray to hold the incense stick securely.
- Smooth all edges with a damp sponge.
Tips and Variations
- Tip: Ensure the ash tray extends long enough beneath the arch to catch ash from burning incense.
- Variation: Add small carved windows or terraced steps for a whimsical mini-structure look.
