Advent Calendar - Day 2: Dried Citrus Wreath

Second day, second box!

A quick tutorial for a homemade, seasonal and eco-friendly decoration, of course!

Orange and cinnamon Christmas wreath

You will need:

2 beautiful oranges,

4 cinnamon sticks, or more! But you can choose to replace or supplement them with fir branches, for example...

Thread, red for a result like in the photo, or in the color of your choice.

A ribbon, ours is ecru.

Instructions:

Cut the orange into slices and arrange them on a baking sheet, which you will put in the oven for 4 hours at 75 degrees, turning them over halfway through cooking, or until they are lightly browned.

Arrange them in a circle: you can overlap them for a fuller effect. Sew the slices together with the red thread, alternating stitch patterns, such as a star. If the thread doesn't hold, you can also glue the slices, but in that case, you won't be able to eat them afterward.

Add the cinnamon sticks, either in a pile or even spread out over the wreath, it's up to you!

Finish by tying the ribbon and hang your garland!

See you tomorrow for more discoveries!
