A Very Citrus Christmas: 5 Ways to Decorate with Homemade Dried Orange Slices

Sometimes the most beautiful things are the simplest and come from your very own backyard (or grocery store).

Oranges and the countryside were my inspiration for this year’s Christmas decor theme. Oranges add texture, color, scent and a beautiful organic appearance. I live in Florida so citrus fruit are especially meaningful. I wanted to incorporate a taste of home and celebrate the state I live in. For this project I used navel oranges. You’d be surprised by all the ways you can use dried orange slices in your holiday decor! Here are just 5 creative ways to display them:

1. Christmas tree Ornaments

2. Gift Wrap Ties

3. Christmas Stocking Ornaments

4. Garland

4. Wreath Arrangement

5. Plant Ornament
