Balls to oranges

How to make Derbie's Orange Pomander Balls
You'll need:
- an orange
-loads of whole cloves (they look half splinter/ half drwing pin)
- a skewer thing from the cutlery drawer that Mum says only a grown up can use ... or aparatly a tooth pick but we didn't hve any of these.
- ribbon to tie round the orange when it is finished - so you can hang it on your Christmas tree or wherever you are going tp put it.
Then you ...
- Get Mum or Dad to prick your orange with the skewer - all over.
- Stick cloves in all the holes and make sure they ar really close together so you cannot see any orange left.
- While doing this you can make patterns - for example a face with a moustache like Dad did.
When the orange is covered ...
- Give it to Mum or Dad - you can dip it in a spice mixture as per some receipes OR just leave it for a couple of weeks to dry out. Then it smells yummy for ages.

We are going to put ours on our tree and then invite Grandma & Grandpa and Granny & Patrick to take one away when they go home after Christmas. Cool idea? Zill and I thought of it.
