Contemporary Threaded Pomanders
Transform classic pomanders into modern, eye-catching decorations with a colorful and geometric twist.
We’ve used vibrant hot-pink, silver, and gold cords wrapped around cloves to create distinctive patterns on citrus fruits.
To make your own threaded pomanders, start by inserting cloves into citrus fruits at the points of an arrow, diamond, or any other shape you desire, ensuring the cloves are spaced evenly around the fruit’s circumference.
Tie one end of the cord around the head of a clove, leaving a 2-inch tail. Proceed to wrap the cord around the head of each clove to form your chosen shape.
For some designs, such as diamonds, you may need to tie off the cord after completing a few shapes and then re-tie the cord to another clove before continuing. .
Keep wrapping the cord around the cloves until you return to the starting point.
Securely tie the end of the cord to the tail left at the beginning and trim off any excess. Your contemporary threaded pomanders are now ready to display and add a touch of modern elegance to your holiday decor.

Enchanting Snow Dioramas
Transport the magic of the winter season into charming miniature worlds under glass with these captivating snow dioramas.
They combine the whimsy of Snow Globes with the elegance of bell-jar terrariums, making them perfect for gifting to multiple loved ones with ease.
To create these wintery wonders, use the lid as a base to sculpt a snow-covered mountain or icy iceberg using a mound of clay, adding a touch of glitter to mimic the glistening sparkle of freshly fallen snow.
You can find figurines like skiers and penguins at hobby shops, and the jars are readily available in bulk.
Here’s how to make one: Begin by shaping clay into snowy mounds.
If you wish to include a pond, first mold clay onto a small mirror. Let it dry completely.
Glue the clay (or the mirror) to the underside of the jar’s lid. Next, brush the clay with glue and cover it with glitter, allowing it to dry.
Then, brush the figurines with glue and carefully position them in your winter scene, giving them time to dry in place. Line the inner rim of the jar with silicone adhesive, and gently invert the jar over your scene before screwing it onto the lid.
Allow it to dry, and you’ll have your very own enchanting snow diorama to admire or share with others.
