DIY Christmas Ornament - Dried Orange Slices
Dried orange slices make the most natural and earthy ornaments for your Christmas tree. And most importantly, they are super easy to make!
All you need is a few oranges, a baking tray, baking sheet, an oven and some time of yours!
HOW TO MAKE DRIED ORANGE SLICES ORNAMENTS – STEP BY STEP
- Cut oranges into think slices - around 0.5cm or 1/4 inch
- Place orange slices on baking tray lined with parchment paper
- Dehydrate at 165F for 8 hours - I left them in oven overnight. Alternative: if you oven doesn't have dehydrate option, you can also bake at 200F for 5 hours. Turn every hour.
- Put them up on the tree using hooks from dollar store.
- Store in airtight container for up to 2 years. Make sure they are completely dry before storing, otherwise mold will grow.
Now, will you attempt to make your own orange slices ornaments?
