Actually, all dehydrated citrus slices seem to be trending and they’re being used on everything from gift wrap to cocktail garnishes.

How to make dried orange slices:

Watch this quick video to see how easy it is to DIY your own dried orange slices or follow all the steps on our DIY tutorial here.

1. Garlands

Easily one of the most common dried orange slice uses is to create a Christmas garland. While some use orange slices on their own, you can also find impressive garlands that incorporate greenery, timber beads or other natural accents.

Below is just one example from a reader (Cheyenne of The Little Flame Co) who used our tutorial to make this stunning orange slice garland over her fireplace.

2. Garnish

Not only do they look fab, dried orange slices are also edible! So don’t be afraid to sprinkle a few on your grazing board, dress up any drink, or decorate a cake. It’s the perfect festive garnish!

3. Dipped in chocolate

Speaking of snacking on dried orange slices, one way to elevate them is to dip these slices into chocolate. Yvette from @thestylistsplash put her own spin on our dried orange tutorial by dipping the orange slices in chocolate. You could also add something extra, like sprinkles of salt or crushed candy cane. Give as a gift or keep them for yourself 😉

4. Wreaths

Going hand-in-hand with garlands, wreaths are an incredibly popular decor piece incorporating dried orange slices. Not only do the slices add a gorgeous pop of colour to the often traditional green and red wreaths, but they smell amazing alongside other wreath favourites like cinnamon, pine and eucalyptus leaves.

5. Simmer kit

There’s something so Christmassy about the scent of citrus, cinnamon and other spices wafting through your home. One of our favourite ways to make your home smell like Christmas is to make a stovetop simmer kit. Super fragrant and good for a week of reheating, simmer kits are an easy way to get your home smelling festive.
