Adding dried oranges to your Christmas tree decorations is the perfect way to infuse natural charm and warmth into your holiday decor. Their vibrant hues and subtle fragrance create a cozy and timeless ambiance.

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