Ingredients for making Clomanders ( cloves and mandarins )
- soft mandarins
- cloves
- cinnamon sticks
- wire
- a fir twig
- cut the mandarins on 4 sides
- 2 small (not too deep cuts next to each other )
- in the uncut gaps pierce cloves in a row
- through the soft middle on one side pierce a piece of wire to come through near the middle if the other side
- wire wrap a piece of cinnamon stick with the looped wire ... then pierce through again to meet the wire at the beginning ( make sure to cut a long enough piece of wire )
- attach a little twig of a fir tree by looping the wire around it before connecting both ends by twisting
- voila ... sweet smelling Clomanders for the festive season

I love the smell and how pretty they always look. :)Bea
