If you haven’t started your Christmas decorating, here are three quick projects I saw this week that can make your home look and smell a little more festive—fast.
Here’s a quick tutorial for making clove oranges. They smell great and can used as a pretty centerpiece.

This project, that I saw over at Full House, is easy, inexpensive and could be left out as an accessory year-round. Or, make several and use them to create a pretty, wintery table setting.
This is less of a project and more of a pretty idea that caught my eye. Rosemary trees are a fragrant, inexpensive way to bring a little Christmas green into your house. I especially love these potted in the silver urns:
Love the starburst, it may make my weekend project list!

These are all PERFECT. I love making those Pomanders (is that what they are officially called??? - the oranges with cloves in them).

What elegant projects! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI love making those clove oranges...but they kill your thumb!! I made little wreaths for my bookcases this year using the rosemary from my backyard....my house smells like Macaroni Grill now. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove those clove oranges, my kids used to make them in school and they smelt wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder to make the orange scented pomanders. It is such a fun activity to do with little ones. I participated in a craft day at Anthropologie a few weeks ago and we make the starbursts on a 1/2 styrofoam ball and then they hung them on the wall behind their cash wrap. It was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Emily..how are you doing..it has been a while;-) I have always wanted to make those orange thingys..which I have no excuse not to being that oranges grow in everyones backyard out here. Anyway it is always a treat to be mentioned by any of my blogger friends that I like from afar. Hope you and the fam are doing well.
