Looking for a great craft to do this winter? Need a little pick me up or a great centerpiece? Try this amazingly easy project and your house will be smelling divine in no time! Display your pomanders in bowls or perched atop candlesticks and goblets. How about filling a cupcake holder with a whole bunch? So many possibilities and you can decide to go eiher elegant or playful depending on the ribbon you choose.

You'll Need:

oranges
whole dried cloves
tape, masking or electric
beautiful ribbon

How To:

Step 1: Place tape on orange accoding to photo to define areas.

Step 2: Using the tape as a guide, start pushing cloves into rind of orange, you can use a fork to make holes if you like. Place cloves closely together. Follow all edges of tape for one row all the way around the orange, and add more cloves if you desire.

Step 3: Remove tape and tie on ribbon in it's place. So simple! And a great craft to do with kids as young as four years old.

Enjoy! Your creations will look good for about a week.
