Make an Orange Peel Box inspired by 18th century Bergamot Boxes

by Sally Pointer

"If you have access to thick skinned oranges, why not try this craft that was in vogue in the Eighteenth century using the rind of bitter or bergamot oranges, and make beautifully scented, fully biodegradable gift boxes.

"These would make an excellent eco Christmas craft, and is an easy way to upcycle your orange peels.

"I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit https: // ko-fi.com / sallypointer Thank you!"

So, hubby and I did splurge on each other for Solstice presents. He got a needlepoint "painting" he made for me of crows (based on a Japanese painting) framed. And while at the same shop today, I found an original map of the area we live in now from the 1870's -- that I'm having mounted in an archival frame for him. Giving #LocalBusiness our holiday shopping (the needlepoint supplies were also from a shop in #Maine). Pics will be posted soon...
