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.
