I peeled a 3 pound bag of little oranges for quick snacks. The oranges went in the fridge and I had a pile of orange peels that smelled so good.
I was wondering if I should do something with them. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The day before, I saw an idea to cut the peels with a little star cookie cutter,
then let them dry on your radiator and then string them into garland for Christmas decorating.
It sounded very nice but I don’t have a tiny star cookie cutter or a radiator——-yes, I’m sure they could dry in the oven or just naturally——-
but I’m was still thinking.
anyway, later in the day, the first thing I see on facebook is this reel
She had a pile of orange peels torn into small pieces and she strung them on a wire to make a little wreath.
That sounded very easy so that’s what I did.
I used a length of wire from my craft supplies and tore the peels into random shapes, all roughly the size of quarters.
Then I strung them on the wire.
That’s what I used and had left from 3 pounds of oranges.
No wire? You can also string them with a needle and any kind of string or twine.
I put a ribbon bow on mine and hung it on our junk pantry door in between 2 aprons.

That fragrance must be divine! I hope the scent lasts for a while.
ReplyDeleteVery clever! I can smell it from here! You could use the remaining peels in a simmer pot with cinnamon on the stove.
ReplyDeleteI bet that corner of your kitchen smells wonderful.
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I bet it smells good too!
ReplyDeleteI bet the wreath smells very nice.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
What a cute idea that would smell wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCute idea. I never have orange peels because I am allergic to oranges, so never buy oranges.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
