1. Dried Orange Garland: A Citrusy Charm
Citrusy delights aren't just for your taste buds; they can adorn your home too!
Create a stunning Dried Orange Garland by thinly slicing oranges and baking them in the oven until they are beautifully dehydrated.
String these vibrant slices together, adding a pop of colour and a refreshing citrus scent to your home.
Hang them along your mantelpiece or drape them gracefully on your Christmas tree for a natural, rustic touch.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 120ΒΊC.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cut oranges into thin slices.
- Pat dry with a towel and bake at 120ΒΊC for an hour.
- Flip slices over and bake for another hour, checking near the end to make sure slices arenβt getting too browned.
- Keep baking and checking every 15-20 minutes or so, taking out the ones that are browning, until all slices are just barely brown around the edges.
- Place slices on a cooling rack and let them dry out for another day or so.Β
- Use a needle and string to thread the string through the slices. Or if using floral wire, just thread that through the slices. Make sure to leave extra string/wire at the ends to hang the garland with.
2. Christmas Glass Jar: Capturing the Holiday Magic
Transform ordinary glass jars into festive masterpieces! Gather an assortment of glass jars in various sizes and shapes.
Fill them with decorative items like miniature ornaments, pinecones, or faux snow (It can also be epsom salt).
