How to make it
Safety
Cloves are a small, sharp choking hazard, so stay at the table with anyone who may put them in their mouth.
1Mark a pattern
Stretch a rubber band around the orange as a guide for a straight line.
2Poke the holes
Press a skewer into the peel along the band, about a quarter inch apart.
3Push in cloves
Push a clove into each hole, stem first.
4Make more lines
Move the band and repeat. Spirals, stripes or random dots all look lovely.
5Display them
Pile them in a bowl or tie a ribbon around one to hang.
Edie's tipPre-poking the holes means cloves slide in with almost no pressure, which is kind to arthritic fingers. The familiar Christmas smell often sparks stories.
