Pomander Ball

What you need:
• Orange
• Toothpick or pin to ease the cloves into the orange
• Whole cloves, at least 1/4 cup, depending upon your design

What you do:
• Stick a clove directly into an orange. You may want to use a toothpick or pin to make the first punctures so that the cloves are easier to insert.
• Once the ball is completely studded with cloves display.

Air Freshener

What you need:
• 2 cups water
• 4 packages Gelatin (plain)
• 15 to 20 drops Essential Oil (adjust to personal preference)
• 1 to 2 TBS salt
• Food Coloring

What you do:
• In a small pot, mix 1 cup water, essential oil and food coloring. As soon as it starts to boil, remove from heat.
• Completely dissolve gelatin and salt in the hot water then add the other cup of water (cold) stir well (gently so it doesn’t foam).
• Pour into jars and set aside for a couple days before using so the gelatin has a chance to completely set (you can refrigerate to speed up the process).
• Once cooled, cover with lids that have a few holes punched in them to allow fragrance to escape.

The salt in this recipe is used to help combat mold, please make sure to add it.
