Best Candle Making Tools
In Wicca, what tools do you consencrate?
To consencrate is to make pure, passing a bowl over the insence, flame, water and salt and saying a certain chant consencrates the object, or so I have read. It also said you have to consencrate every object on the altar. The bowls to hold the water in, the candles and insence and bowl to hold the salt is on the altar, so do they have to be consencrated? But how can they be consencrated if the process involvings holding the object over the insence and dipping into the holy water and sprinkling with salt?

Where on earth did you read that??
There is no need to consecrate everything. The very act of creating a circle is a type of consecration. (Otherwise, you’d have to consecrate the table, walls, floor, etc, etc.)
The bowl/dishes/goblet/whatever you use for the salt and/or water does not need to be ‘consecrated’ by anything other than a smudge stick or incense. And that, only if you feel the need to do so.
Technically, incense or a smudge stick are for cleansing, not consecrating. Consecrating means that you are making the object “sacred, or set apart”. Most wiccans/pagans use it to cleanse something that is going to be used specifically and only for their rituals, like an athame.
If you’re using a silver goblet for the water and a broze dish for the salt, and you never plan on using them for any other purpose, go ahead and cleanse them if it will make you feel better.
But you don’t really need to.
