We made these years ago and they smell so good. I decided to make some this year. It doesn't take much work or supplies. You just need a couple oranges, some cloves, and some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, a piece of ribbon, some straight pins, and a paper bag.
Tie the ribbon around the orange and secure it with the pins. Decorate the orange by pushing in the cloves all over the orange. You can stud them in any pattern you like. Dust the spices over the orange. Stick it into a paper sack for a week or two to let it dry. It smells wonderful.
You can skip the ribbon step and just place them in a bowl once they dry, or put on the ribbon and hang on your tree or anywhere else you'd like.
