Clementine / Orange Holders
I used oranges, and some of them were too large to fit inside the holders. You may prefer to use clementines or small oranges instead.
Step 1 – Print and Cut
Print on cardstock and trim out the design using scissors or an X-Acto knife.
Cutting Tip: It helps to begin by roughly cutting around the design so you have a smaller piece of paper to work with.
Step 2 – Form the Holder
Tape the ends together.
Place a piece of tape on one end. Bring the two ends together as closely as possible and secure the loose end to the tape.
You may need to trim the ends slightly to adjust the size of your holder.
St. Nick and Three Single Girls
It is said that St. Nicholas, a wealthy and generous bishop, heard about a poor widowed father with three daughters who feared they would never find husbands.
Saddened by this story, St. Nicholas quietly entered the widower’s home and tossed three sacks of gold down the chimney—one for each daughter’s dowry. The gold landed in the girls’ stockings, which were hanging by the fire to dry.
Today, oranges placed in stockings are said to symbolize the gold that was left behind.
