DIY Orange Slice Garland

Recently, I’ve seen delightful orange-slice garlands festively featured in magazines and I assumed it would be a tedious and messy craft. However; aside from some baking time, this really is as easy as pie! Truthfully, I feel a little silly posting something so simple. However; the blogs I encountered had a lengthy preface to a personal memoir with step-by-step progress photos… which kept loading alongside pop-up ads as I was scrolling to the instructions. I applaud their gungho effort [for more complex recipes and projects, this can be really helpful], but in this case I just want the goods!

So without further ado, here it is. I paired my orange garland with a wooden bead and faux eucalyptus garland. It’s Bohemian yet a traditional throw-back, and smells divine! I hope you find this “a peeling.” 🤣🙈😂 #lamemomjoke
