Hanging Potpourri Ornament
1 orange
1 box whole cloves
1 piece of nylon net or tulle 12 x 12 (approximate)
1 ribbon, cord or hanger of your choice
With skewer, bobby pin, etc., punch holes in orange. These can be punched randomly or in a pattern. Holes should be spaced a little apart as orange shrinks when it dries. Insert cloves. Lay orange on nylon net and draw up all sides. Put rubber band around top to keep it wrapped securely and tie ribbon or cord around it. Add loop for hanging. Tie bow and leave ends hanging, but not too long. Add trim if so desired. Now doesn't your home smell good?
Puzzle Piece Wreath
Lay out a ring of puzzle pieces. Do not overlap. Glue a second row on top of the first row laying each piece over the space between 2 pieces on the bottom. Repeat for a 3rd row. Using dimensional gold glitter paint, outline the puzzle pieces. Add ribbon and hanger.
NOTE: Before outlining you can spray the wreath gold or green. You can also attach seed beads as holly berries in a cluster of 3 around the wreath.
