Dried Oranges

It's been awhile since I've dried fruit of any kind,

but when I was reminded of it by Kimmie

on one of her lovely posts at

Art in Red Wagons

I decided to try my hand at it again.

I strung them up and hung them on my patio.

They look lovely in the sunshine!

They remind me of stained glass.

I just took some ribbon

and did some quick weaving in and out of each slice.

I had a total of 40+ slices from one bag or oranges.

You could do different things with dried orange slices...
for Christmas you could

put glitter on them and hang as tree ornaments, or

glue to a wreath (like Kimmie's beautiful wreath).

I thought of hanging the swag at my kitchen window also....
anytime of the year.

 We've had some wonderful weather these past few weeks,

and even got some rain.

Maybe I'll dry some apples next!

Hope your holidays have been merry
and I hope you all have a Happy New Year!

Savor the Day!
