In reply to Tricia. Tangerines' skins are pretty thin and tear easily - the orange works better .

Howz about the, “Mona Lisa” alá Cloves?
About to create some now!
I’ve read you can put a rubber band on the orange to use a guide for
straight lines*lines*around the middle
These beauties are one of nature’s perfect delights!

Thanks for the idea. My husband decided he wanted to make one of these this year. I was out looking for directions and noticed I had pinned your post to my Christmas board - good timing.

Beautiful illustrations and can almost smell their aroma. Will be hanging them around my home this Christmas, thanks for the reminder 🙂

I was just thinking of making orange cleaner, you know, with vinegar and orange peels. Anyways I wonder if adding the cloves to it would work too. I guess I shall have to experiment and see.

I love to make orange pomanders for Christmas. I remember making them in elementary school. And, you're right. It's easier to make simple designs, and use a skewer to make the holes. I make them almost every year. Love the fragrance. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

The cloves may be pointy - but the skewer saves your fingers! Also, makes it easier to do w/ little ones -- I poke w/ the skewer & they put the clove in so much more easily. OR they poke w/ both skewer and clove! If making a design, it's easier to lightly draw a design (simple or ornate) w/ pencil and use it as a guide (for yourself or for child).
