Learn How To Make an Orange and Clove Sachet for Friends and Family!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • I thin-skinned orange
  • 2 oz. whole cloves
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Dash of Ground Allspice
  • Fat quarter square of netting
  • Satin ribbon
  1. Step 1

    You will love how easy fragrant this is, and makes a great "thinking of you" gift for a friend or family member. Kids will have fun making this as well!

  2. Step 2

    Carefully prick the orange skin with an ice pick, with the holes close together (but not so close it will split the skin in between) and cover the whole orange with the holes. Then stick the whole cloves in without splitting the skin in between the holes. When the orange is covered with the cloves, roll it in the ground cinnamon and allspice.

  3. Step 3

    Next, take the square of netting and wrap it around the orange, gathering it at the top. Tie it closed with the satin ribbon and hang. You can hang it in the closet for a nice, spicy smell, or give as a gift.

Tips & Warnings
  • Enlist your kids and make several to hang on the Christmas tree!
  • Eventually, it will dry up and no longer smell. Toss when that happens.
