How To Make A Dried Orange Garland
If you’ve ever wanted that cozy, old-fashioned Christmas look without spending a ton, dried orange garland is so easy to make at home. It’s one of those simple little projects that makes your whole house feel warm and festive, and the best part is, you only need oranges, an air fryer, and a bit of fishing line.
Here’s exactly how I make mine:
1. Slice your oranges as thin as you can.
The thinner they are, the faster and more evenly they dry.
2. Place the slices on a tiered metal shelf inside your air fryer.
This keeps them separated so the air can circulate around each slice.
3. Cook at 195°F for about three hours.
Make sure you check on them here and there.
4. Thread them onto fishing line using a big needle.
Just poke through the top edge of each slice and slide them down the line.
And that’s it. Sweet, simple, and so pretty. This year I hung mine across my mantle, and I love how the warm orange tones mix with the greenery . It really does add that perfect handmade touch.
