I seem to recall something about this on Hometalk recently. Give the search bar at the top left a whirl.
Here's a link with instructions:

Just place them on a baking sheet and leave to dry in the open air of your home. If you want to speed up the process, you can place the orange cutouts and the baking sheets in a low temperature oven.
Thanks, the stars I was cutting wanted to curl in the oven, I ended up having to weight them down near the end of the drying time
No-cook method: Lay the strips on a plate (with the inside of the peels facing upwards) and let them dry in a warm, well-circulated, sunny place at room temperature for two to three days; until they have shriveled, lost their moisture, and are crisp.
Speed method: If you are short on time, you can also dry them in a 200 F oven. Spread them on a piece of parchment paper lined baking sheet and dry in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. If the peel starts to brown, turn off the oven for a few minutes, and rotate the pan. The peels will curl up and turn stiff when they're dry.
Here are the instructions, cut them to any shape you want:
