Pomander balls are a fancy term for oranges decorated with cloves that make your home smell amazing for the holidays. We would make these every year when I was in girl scouts.
Supplies Needed
·Oranges (or other citrus fruit)
·Toothpick
·Whole cloves
·Paper towels
Step 1: Poke and stick
It's as easy as sticking whole cloves into a fresh orange. To avoid hurting your fingertips, we recommend making holes in the rind ahead of time with a toothpick, skewer, or another small piercing tool. Be sure to keep some napkins or paper towels around for the orange juice that's sure to escape!
Step 2: Create designs
Once you have the hang of adding the cloves to the orange rind, try making detailed designs. Plan out the design of each pomander ball ahead of time with a pen. Try designs like swirls, stripes, stars, or Christmas figures. Kids are sure to have fun planning and creating their designs, and you'll enjoy the delicious scent their pomanders create when they're finished!
