500 sticks are $5.50

I order my essential oils from

You'll need the essential oil of your choice and a carrier oil such as grape-seed oil. You mix about 1 teaspoon of essential oil with 1 cup of carrier oil and pour them both into a Pyrex pan long enough for the sticks to fit in. Quickly dip the sticks a few at a time into the oils, then hang them up to dry over your pan using a string like a clothesline and clothespins. Any excess oils drip back into the pan. It takes a few days for them to dry enough to use. Make sure you wear gloves and eye protection. Essential oils are pricey, but super concentrated and will last you a long time.
