Pomander


To make a pomander like the one Lucy is holding you will need,

One orange
A red ribbon
Some dress making pins
A jar of cloves
A bay leaf
Scissors

Fix the ribbon to the top of the orange using a pin. Measure a length of ribbon around the circumference of the orange and cut the required length. Lift the pin to secure the loose end of ribbon. Repeat this process so that there are two lengths of ribbon around the orange.
The ribbon has created four 'windows' to fill with cloves. Simply spear the orange skin with the sharp end of the clove. Lucy created a pattern by arranging the cloves in groups of three.
To complete your pomander fix a bay leaf to the top using a dress maker's pin.
