Creating orange clove pomanders sounds easy at first, but the process can feel messy or confusing if you've never tried it before. You want them to smell good and look nice, but sometimes the cloves fall out or the orange starts to mold too fast.
– Oranges – Cloves – Nail
Decide what pattern you would like. I did stripes from the top to the bottom.
Using your nail poke a hole at the top of your line (or at the beginning of your design) to start your pattern.
The cloves have a long stem on them so it is easy to poke them into the holes from the nail.
This time around I just did the stripes but you could do clusters so they look like polka dots or little flowers or even swirls. The ideas are endless.
I placed mine in these cute little baskets and around my fall charcuterie board but you could also use them to make some stovetop potpourri.
I would say my orange clove pomanders lasted up to a week and a half.
