Festive Favourites - DIY Scented Decorations

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!
