Today I have sustainable Christmas (tree) decorations for you. I decided to decorate my Christmas tree with cookies and dried orange slices. Yes, you read right, theoretically speaking all these decorations can be eaten. I don’t as I keep them for the following years for decorating. If you are considering decorating your tree with homemade cookies and orange slices, this blog post is for you. You may also make a wreath with the dried orange slices as pictured below. I have mentioned this before, but as a university student, I was too poor to buy expensive Christmas decorations, so I started decorating everything with gingerbread. Gingerbread houses, gingerbread advent wreath, tiny gingerbread houses for the mug, you name it, I was the gingerbread queen. I then slowly started making other cookie ornaments, for example, I used sugar cookies for my tree and I checked for some other ideas. The latest idea was to dry orange slices and put them on the tree. After a little bit of research, I finally arrived at the “recipe” below and I am happy to share it. I usually keep my cookies and the orange slices for the following year. As long as you don’t plan on eating them, you are good to go. Keep them cool and dry in a loose box. This works for me. I hope for you, too!
