When the entire orange is covered, you can now use it for a LONG time! I know my mom kept the ones I made her in her drawers more than a year and it would still smell great! Place the orange clove in a place you want to keep smelling great. Your closet, your drawers, your bathroom...make more than one and you can put them everywhere!

I just wanted to add...I first made one of these in grade school. It was one of the best presents my mother loved. Great for kids to make...I'd like to get one from my kids. Maybe we'll have a Thanksgiving project...thanks for the great article.
