Cook Quilt Make and Bake includes these dried-orange-slice ornaments as a beautiful au naturel option that packs a pleasing citrus scent throughout the holidays! And the best part: Crafty couple Sam and Phil note that for about 20 ornaments, this project cost them just $5. (Gotta love that!)

To make your own, simply slice up one to two large oranges, sprinkle on some powdered sugar for a candied stained-glass look, and cook them on low in the oven for about two to three hours to dehydrate them. Enjoy this fun and fragrant holiday project everyone can help make!
