You can, if you can puncture them, turn them into pomander oranges, to arrange with flowers, to fill a container or add to a potpourri. You will need an awl or ice pick or a thin knitting needle or something else you can use to put little holes in the orange. You will also need whole cloves (spice), some household glue or a hot glue gun. You can also add essential oil (orange and cinnamon are good) if it won’t damage the skin of your orange. Decide on a pattern for your orange, or just fill the whole surface with cloves. Make little starter holes with your tool of choice. Put a tiny dab of glue on the point of the clove and insert into the holes. Add a few drops of essential oils when finished, if you like. The cloves will have their own fragrance. Arrange in a bowl with or without flowers. They look very nice with nuts and seed pods. You can create a topiary type arrangement using a cone or other foam base that you can stick them to, with flowers or other fillers in the spaces. Or hang with ribbon tied around as a way to decorate and freshen a musty closet. They will last much longer than real oranges, and you won’t have the waiting time for “curing” that real oranges require.
You could put the oranges in a tray and then lay faux florals and greens on top of it to fill it all in. I would use colors that compliment the oranges such as whites or pale pinks.
