Advent time is here, which means it’s time for Christmas decoration! Woho! Here is a student friendly, super mega easy decoration – dried slices of orange.
What you need
- Oranges
- Oven
- Oven rack
- Thread/string
How to
- Put the oven on 75C.
- Slice a bunch of oranges (0.5 cm is good) and put them on an oven rack.
- Chuck the rack into the oven and let the oranges dry until they look dry (duh) and has darkened a bit. The drying process might take up to 5 hours, but check on the slices before that, so that they don’t burn.
- Use thread to make a garland or to make pretty ornaments to hang separately in the tree. If you’ve made to many, try adding them to gifts, looks super-neat!
PS. If you feel like this is a bit too much work, don’t fret, there’s an even easier way!
- Take your orange. Peel it and try to keep the peel as whole as possible.
- Grab a cookie cutter and cut the peel to get cute stars or whatever shape your cutter has.
- Make a hole in the cut-out peel.
- Put the peel stars on a string – voilà, a garland.
Done.
All natural, pretty cheap and super easy – exactly how we like it.
Toodles!
