This year I decided to host the Twelve Days of Christmas Crafts on Instagram and we had so much fun!!  We’ve made a ton of crafts to go along with my DIY Tree Collar and Holiday Ribbon Picks!  Be sure to check out the Twig Star Tree Topper, Holiday Wooden Cutting Board Signs or Scrap Wood Ornaments.

  • Cinnamon sticks
  • Pine boughs or rosemary

Directions:

  1. Dry the fruit for this project.  Oranges and cranberries are fairly easy to dry.  Simply slice the oranges into 1/4″ rounds, layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5 hours at 200 degrees.   Spread fresh cranberries around the oranges to dry at the same time.  I used my trusty food dehydrator but its not necessary to have one for this project.

2. Thread twine onto a yarn needle, tie a know at one end and thread dried fruit, wooden beads, cinnamon sticks and pine boughs onto the twine.  The easiest way to attach cinnamon sticks and rosemary or pine is to tie a knot around it using the twine.  

3. Finish off with a loop of twine at the end.

I hung five strands of dried orange slice garland from a branch to create this festive wall hanging.

We also created a longer garland using just twine, oranges and wooden beads.  This would make a lovely natural garland placed around the Christmas tree.

This would also be fun hanging from the cabinets in the kitchen or dining room.

Dried orange ornaments are very simple to make as well.  They are basically just a shorter garland.

And finally, we used leftover supplies to make Stove Top Potpourri to give to the neighbours this year!  We added a variety of aeromatic spices to a mason jar and attached a tag with instructions.

Our stove top potpourri recipe:

  • two dried orange slices
  • dozen dried cranberries
  • cinnamon stick
  • 2 Tbsp cloves
  • 2″ pine bough
