How to make Pomanders:

Pomanders are beautiful and fragrant accents that are pretty for the holiday season, to have in a bowl on your holiday table, or to hang with ribbon on your tree!  Long ago, they were believed to bring good fortune!

You will need:

oranges with firm skins ( Christmas oranges are too soft)

whole cloves

a small nail or toothpick

You can either make a design of lines from top to bottom of the orange, spirals, stars, or rows.  Poke a small hole in the orange and place the clove stem in the hole.  Continue  until you have completed your design.

If you will want to hang your pomander, crisscross ribbon across the orange like a sling, and tie a knot at the top to keep it in place.
