Can be used in drawers and closets like a sachet, or used as decorations at Christmastime by hanging them from a mantel or tree, or even just set in an attractive bowl on a table. They will continue to give off their scent for years to come!


Material

  • 1 Medium-sized orange
  • 100g Whole cloves
  • 1 Piercing tool (small screwdriver, wooden skewer)

Method

  1. Using your small screwdriver or skewer make small holes in your orange, you can do this in a pattern or randomly
  2. Insert the whole cloves into these holes, make sure its a snug fit, you dont want your cloves falling out!
  3. You can tie with ribbon to hang or just find a nice place to display your pomander!

Notes

This is a long lasting craft, great for rainy days or festive preparations!

  • I remember these from when I was a kid. But they had the cloves closer together so you can’t see any of the orange, I think it also helps with preventing the orange from rotting

  • It says last for years but the orange would rotten wouldn’t it? I’m sure it would be good for a little while though. Thank you.


    • Yes I was thinking the same thing about the orange

  • Does the orange go off or attract ants or fruit flies. I love the idea but I could do without bugs or mouldy orange.


    • yes i did wonder how long till the orange needs throwing out.
