Cloves and Clementines

Clementines and oranges are some of our favorite winter fruits. But they don't always get eaten right away. Filling them with cloves is a great craft to do with the leftovers! It's really easy, and a lot of  fun to do. The fruits add a splash of color to any wall, and they smell great too!

You'll need:
 A few clementines or oranges (You can use other citrus fruits too!)
Cloves (As many as needed)
Ribbon (Or something else to tie it up with)
(Optional) A small pin or nail (Be careful!)

 

Tie the ribbon around the fruit first. This can be in any way that you want, but just wrapping it around is usually easiest.

 

Then fill with cloves! You may need to use the pin or nail to prick the holes first, before you push in the cloves. Be sure to have help!
And be creative in your designs! You can do stripes, or stars, hearts, or whatever else you can think of!

 

Tie the ribbons together and hang up. I added a bell to mine, and you can add anything else that you want!

 

Enjoy for the holidays!
