Pomander Jars

I've been saving these adorable, miniature mason jars for months and debating what to do with them. Inspiration finally struck when I found baby clementines at the grocery store. They're even smaller than normal clementines, and quite a few will easily fit into a pickle jar.

I set the kids to work sticking cloves into the fruit for pomanders, while I scrounged up some ribbon and candles.


The result, a pretty (and lovely smelling) decoration for our mantle.

  1. I haven't thought about making these since I was a kid! We have an overabundance of clementines at the moment; maybe I should break out tthe cloves! Thanks for sharing.
