: Please--I saw these recently but they were strictly for display and no instructions to be found. I can find them for sale but I can't find directions to make them. Please - I hope someone can provide the info. Thanks.
I found these directions on the internet cuz i was looking for them, too. I haven't tried it out yet so am not sure how well it works...
Dried Oranges
You will need:
Oranges
knife
wire racks
matte clear acrylic spray
paper towels
Cut each orange crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Discard end pieces. Place on wire racks which have been placed on cookie sheets in a 150 degree oven. Dry for about 6 hours, turning over if edges start to curl. When dried, they should be pliable.
You can use the slices whole or cut in half, depending on what you use them for. Spray either with 2 coats of spray, allowing to dry between coats.
