Why Choose Dried Oranges for Your Christmas Tree?


  • Natural Aesthetic: Dried orange slices provide a simple yet elegant look, adding an organic feel to your tree.​

  • Aromatic Ambiance: Pairing oranges with cinnamon sticks and cloves fills your space with delightful holiday scents.​

  • Family-Friendly Activity: Crafting these decorations is a perfect holiday project to enjoy with your family.​


How to Create Dried Orange Ornaments:


  1. Slice Fresh Oranges: Cut fresh oranges into thin slices, approximately 1/4-inch thick.​

  2. Dry the Slices: Place the slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C) for 3-4 hours, flipping them every 30 minutes to ensure even drying.​ This is a slow process but worth it.

  3. Assemble the Ornaments: Once cooled, thread a piece of twine through each slice to create simple, fragrant ornaments.​


Incorporate other natural items like pinecones, wooden beads, and burlap ribbons to complement the dried oranges.​ It creates a nostalgic ambiance reminiscent of traditional holiday celebrations—like something from a postcard.
