Dried Orange Garland

December 1, 2019 · In: motherhood

A garland of dried oranges screams Scandinavian Christmas to me! I love the simplicity of the oranges and the pop of color that they add. I like to layer mine with a garland of cranberries, pine needles, magnolia leaves for the mantel. But my favorite place to hang this garland is above my kitchen sink! I like to string two orange garlands to go across that kitchen sink window, the sun streaming through them during the day is beautiful! I keep them up all winter long!

Another idea is to save some dried orange slices to tie onto packages. It’s beautiful against brown Kraft paper! You can also make ornaments with them. I love decorating and wrapping gifts with natural materials. There’s so many possibilities!

Supplies:

  • twine
  • needle
  • oranges
  • parchment paper
  • cookie sheet

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
  • Slice oranges a 1/4″ thick.
  • Blot oranges with a towel to remove excess juice.
  • Place orange slices onto lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake for approximately 2 hours.
  • Flip oranges halfway through baking.
  • If there are some that aren’t slightly browned yet them leave them in for another 10-15 minutes each side.
  • Remove from oven and cool.
  • Poke 2 holes about a 1/2″ apart of the top of the orange slice (I use a chopstick for this).
  • String with twine, going in and out through the back (yarn needles are helpful but not necessary) until you’ve reached the desired length of garland.
  • Leave enough string at the ends to tie onto nails.

pin it for later:

I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Match I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Matcha latte…just kidding I make one everyday! But it did feel a little bit more festive today. ☘️ Matcha is full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and an amino acid called L-theanine that helps to reduce anxiety. It also gives me an energy boost without the jitters! 

Iced Matcha Latte 
• 1 tsp Matcha green tea
• 1 cup milk of choice
• 1 cup ice
• 1-2 tsp honey
• sprinkle of cinnamon (personal preference) 

Add Matcha to a small bowl and pour warm water over it. Whisk to remove clumps. Pour into a glass with milk and ice. Add honey and cinnamon. Enjoy and Happy St Paddy’s Day! 🌈
Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and w Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and what being an artist means. I’ve concluded that art is everywhere, from keeping a home, baking bread to working with plants. Artists aren’t just those who paint or write but those that make the world more beautiful in whatever capacity they can. Would you agree? #mondaymotivation
