Orange Peel craft

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.

  2. Very clever! I can smell it from here! You could use the remaining peels in a simmer pot with cinnamon on the stove.

  6. Cute idea. I never have orange peels because I am allergic to oranges, so never buy oranges.
