Tis the season to be jolly! For the first time since living with my parents we have a real tree this year, so i felt that it deserved some extra special, extra fragrant, extra festive decorations!
How to make dried orange slices
Slice a bag of oranges into 1cm thick slices
place them directly onto the wire rack in the oven
Cook for about three hours on 100C
Leave to cool!
I have used these all over the house. Some of them i've threaded ribbon through and hung on the tree
Others i have left in a bowl on the living room radiator, they smell amazing!
And i also made a super simple wreath for the front door. Here's how...
1. Cut a circle of cardboard the size of a dinner plate
2. Use a length of wood (i used a BBQ skewer, but a pencil or pen or something like that would work too!) to reinforce the top and bottom of the card. I just taped them on.
3. You can thread a length of ribbon through one piece of wood, to hang the wreath with later.
4. Using a glue gun, stick you orange slices on, each one slightly overlapping the last
5. finish it off with a bit of sparkle, and a pretty bow, and hang it on your door!
Tonight is my annual christmas tree decorating party, so i have been a busy bee making lots of festive buts and bobs. I'll post up some more simple how-tos in the next few days!
