This clove orange pomander ball is a lovely way to scent your home for the holidays. In the pictures below, I used a clementine instead of an orange, but as a child, we made these homemade presents using oranges. Whatever you choose to use, the citrus scent, mixed with the spicy clove fragrance, lasts a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clove Orange Pomander Ball: A Lovely Natural Handmade Gift<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Natural gifts use herbs, flowers or fruit to make beautiful homemade presents. I love handmade gifts! This simple, easy little gift is something that harkens back to a time past. You probably have the ingredients on hand to make a clove-studded pomander, or little air freshener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"pomander
Place the finished pomander on a fancy dish, or tie ribbon around it before inserting the cloves to hang it in your home or in a closet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I remember my sister Ann teaching me how to make a pomander when I was a little girl. We used up my mother’s supply of cloves, studding an orange so completely with the cloves that it was like a spiky ball. My sister put the pomander on the shelf in the closet we shared, and it scented the entire closet for many months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been meaning since forever to make another one, but cloves are so expensive! My husband picked up a jar of them on sale a few months ago, and I haven’t even opened them. I looked at the fruit bowl in the kitchen today and realized we have clementines, those small, delicious little snack-sized citrus fruits. What better way to make the pomander than to use a clementine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are so easy to make!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"clove
Stud the cloves into the fruit in any pattern you want.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
