Hello Dolls
So one of my fave things about the holiday season is the lovely Christmassy scent of Oranges and spices!
Making these orange decorations has been a family tradition, such a fun way to spend a cold afternoon & so much cheaper than buying Christmas scented decorations
You will need -
Large oranges
Cloves 
Sparkly ribbon
Pins
These are so simple to make -
1 . Section the orange with the ribbon and secure with pins & tie a bow at the top so you can hang them
2. Simply push cloves into the orange in a pattern
Hang your decorations from your tree or dot them around for a seasonal scented room!
Don't fear - The cloves are antiseptic and stop the orange from going mouldy
Darling Tip - These make lovely presents for neighbours and they keep for such a long time, we still have some from Christmas's over a year ago!
What do you girls think?
Give it a go!

I made one of these years ago at a 'Tudor day' when I was in Primary School! I loved the smell of it but I couldn't remember that the small spiky things were called cloves, so I couldn't make them again. I'll definitely make a couple for Christmas now though, thanks! :)

This is a great idea, wouldn't expect them to last that long!
Gotta get me some cloves!

aww these are a cute idea, have you made christingles too? we used to have them in school and they weren't as scented but the candle did the job :)
I'm so glad you posted this! I've been wanting to make some this christmas but (sad as it sounds seeing as it looks so simple) I didn't know how :) thanks! xx
