Orange/Clove Potpourri Decoration

My son and I were looking for a fun simple little craft to do this afternoon. What could we possibly do with no crafts lying around? So I had me a little daydream of the olden days (when I was a kid) and we just used what we had! I did remember making a "Do it yourself Orange/Clove Potpourri." During the cold months, we always have oranges handy to create a fantastic mulled apple cider. There ya go! The puzzle pieces were fitting into place.  

Supplies:

Orange

Whole Cloves

Peel/Stick Bow

Paper Clip

Scissors

Mini Dish

Method:

Take your orange and pierce the skin with cloves. Place the cloves however you like. You can create a huge smiley face or spell out your son's or daughter's name. Then, take your paper clip and shape it into a u. Wiggle the u-shaped clip into the staple that holds the bow together (on it's underside). Now take both the bow and u-shaped clip and pierce the orange straight through (as so the bow rests firmly on top of the orange.) Take your scissors and then cut the top round parts of the bow off, trim and fluff. Use the discarded parts of your bow and cut them down into sparkle bits (as shown in the picture), scatter a few cloves about and there you go.
