I noticed this idea on the Martha site a while ago and tonight I got around to giving this a go with the kids. It helps that we have a huge orange tree in our garden which is perpetually laden with fruit.
Martha suggests using an elastic band to wrap around the fruit to give you a nice straight line.
Of course, children don't want to make nice straight lines.
Even if I do.
They want to make funny faces. With hair!
We placed them on a plate as a table centerpiece along with some pine cones and some orange leaves.
I didn't preserve these oranges so I don't expect they will last very long. Luckily we have more fruit than we can eat on the tree, so we can always make more.
Don't they just smell amazing? That orange and clove smell always reminds me of Christmas!
