DIY Citrus Star Garland

Ingredients

  • 4 oranges
  • 2 lemons
  • twine
  • embroidery needle
  • modge podge
  • paint brush

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Slice citrus ΒΌ" thick onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • If you have extra peels, use a cookie cutter to cut out fun shapes! We used a star!
  • Bake for 3 hours, checking ever hour to make sure that they are not burning. The lemons in our batch dehydrated quicker so we took those out at 2 hours. Warning! Your kitchen will smell amazing!
  • Once the fruit is dehydrated and cooled down, use a paint brush to cover both front and back of each slice with modge podge.
  • When the slices are dried, use an embroidery needle to thread the slices together with about 3 inches of twine, two at a time and tying a double knot to keep them securely together. 
  • Once you have the desired length of garland(s), trim the tie knots and hang wherever you would like!
