Botanical Pomanders — Digital Recipe PDF

Make fragrant orange-and-clove pomanders while learning the story behind the craft. This 9-page digital booklet from Stillroom Co. combines step-by-step making instructions, original pattern diagrams, botanical knowledge, and guidance for displaying and caring for your finished ornaments. There is more to a pomander than a cloved orange. Explore the wider history of fragrant materials and scent containers, discover that cloves are dried flower buds, and learn how citrus peel and spice contribute their familiar fragrance. Then plan your own banded, spiral, or little-flower design using whole oranges and cloves, with optional ribbon for a seasonal finishing touch.
