Read more for all the details on DIY Orange Garland.
December is flying by! I know it sounds super weird as it’s only December 7th but I’m having so much fun stuffing my face with chocolates, baking yummy treats, singing Christmas songs, decorating my home and I can’t believe we’re so close to Christmas Eve!
This is my first year trying to DIY an orange garland but it takes a lot of patience! The first time I tried it, I burnt it because I wasn’t patient enough. The next and final time I did it, it was successful! I made a wreath of it behind the stove and it’s such a cute addition to my home decor!

HERE ARE THE STEPS TO DIY ORANGE GARLAND:
First, let’s gather what we need!
What do I need?
- Minimum 2-10 Oranges (depending on how big you want the garland to be)
- Twine
- Chopstick/Knitting Needle
- Parchment Paper
- Baking Sheets/Pans
- Chopping Board & Knife
What to do?
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper
- Cut your orange to even thin slices about 1/8″ – 1/4″
- Place oranges in a single layer and pat dry any excess juice
- Put in trays in the oven and set a timer for one hour at a time for a total of 4 hours, flipping them each hour (if you feel like the oranges aren’t fully dehydrated, feel free to leave them in another 30 mins – 1 hour)
- Once the orange slices are fully dehydrated, let them cool
- Grab your twine, poke 2 small holes and string in the twine
You can attach it to your garland on the mantel, create a wreath, wrap it around your tree etc! Have fun!
