How to Make a Citrus Garland

Cut the orange into slices that are about half a centimetre thick. Try and get them as equal as possible. 

After slicing the orange, make a hole in the top of each slice using your skewer. Make sure you wiggle the skewer around a bit so that the hole is big enough to make it easy to thread your garland. 

Spread your orange slices on a lined baking tray. Pop them into the oven at 65 degrees centigrade and leave for 4 hours.   

Once the orange slices are dry, remove them from the oven and leave to cool. They may still feel a bit sticky, but leave them overnight on a wire rack and they will dry out completely. 

To make your garland, feed your string, twine or ribbon through the holes of your orange slices. Tie a knot on either side of the slice to hold them in places. Now you have an amazing smelling decoration that will last you years!
