Pomander Ball

A Pomander Ball is a large apple with cloves in it to give it a nice smell. Nice fragrances make our home welcoming. My brothers, sisters, and I usually make these in our spare time.

Ingredients:
Large Apple          A box of cloves
Cinnamon              A plastic net bag
Ribbon\yarn

Step 1: Use a fork to make many little holes in the skin of an apple. 

Step 2: Insert a clove into each of the holes. Do this until the whole apple is covered with the cloves.

Step 3: Put the apple into a bowl and pour some cinnamon on it. Return all the leftover cinnamon in the bowl into its container with help of an adult. Set the ball in a cool place for a few days.

Step 4: To hang the ball cut the ends off the net and leave it so it is about 10 inches long.

Step 5: Slip the ball into the net. Tie a bow with the yarn at the top and the bottom of the net.

Step 6: Cut an 18-inch piece of yarn. Tie a knot forming a 6-inch loop.

Step 7: At the top of the pomander ball tie the remaining string from the loop into a knot. Then hang.)
