Orange Pomanders: The Perfect Family Craft Activity For Tu B’Shevat

It has been eight years (gasp) since I actually made these great looking orange and cloves pomanders, but they are still looking good, so I figured I’d dust off this project and share it with you again. i have come to realize that bringing things out of the archives to see the light of day isn’t such a bad idea, especially since most people don’t go fishing around in there!

You may not have time to actually make some of these pomanders before ushering the Jewish holiday of Tu B’Shevat tomorrow night, but they would be a great craft activity to do on the holiday itself. I have come up with a great way to make these so that even those who aren’t so crafty can succeed…..and of course the fragrance that goes with this activity is just lovely, so go for it!

One can use all kinds of citrus fruit to make pomanders, though do stick to those fruit with thick skins. Sorry tangerines and manderine oranges, maybe in another life, but hello limes and lemons, you could look great as well!

For my complete tutoria with photos, hope on over to the post right HERE.

Enjoy!
