[TUTORIAL] Orange Pomanders

 

SNOW DAY!! My kids lasted all of half an hour in the snow this morning, before coming in begging for hot apple cider, a warm fire and demanding a craft to keep them occupied. Luckily, I had some cloves and oranges on hand, and we got busy making some lovely smelling pomander balls. It's a great craft for little fingers and helps develop those ever important motor skills. Here's what you need...

SUPPLIES:

• Oranges
• Whole Cloves
• Toothpick or skewer
• Ribbon or yarn if hanging

STEP ONE Poke holes in orange with toothpick

STEP TWO Poke long ends of cloves into holes

STEP THREE If tying, you may want to do this first and then decorate. Just simply tie the orange as you would a present. Knot at top of orange and then knot excess ribbon to create a loop to hang. Et Voila!
