To make a dried fruit garland, slice your fruit into thin slices. We used apples and oranges.
Make a small hole in each slice. String your fresh fruit slices in a cool dry place to dry. Our oranges and apples dried within a day.
Once your fruit slices are dried, string them along a fresh length of yarn.
And find a special place in your home to hang your harvest garland.
Blessings and magic,
Donni

What a simple and brilliant idea. Guess that makes it simply brilliant!
LOVE ...I will def be doing this with the kids in my playschool!!!!!
now...an idea for a christmas garland??
I made one with lemon slices during the summer for my kitchen window! They are still up, not to mention some cranberries that I made a couple years ago. :)
Lovely!
So refreshing to look at!
i have seen many garlands lately, but this may be the on for me! living on an island my leaf and pinecone resources are scarce. but, i think this might be lovely to do with my 3 year old and will make the house fragrant!
I tried to make these once before and they took so long to dry out. It is so awfully humid here. I vowed that if I did it again, I would have to use a fruit dehydrator. Yours look so beautiful.
These look great! Wonderful photos
I just love that first photo, great shot!
these look great, thanks for the instructions to make some. Although id better wait til next winter, as the weather heats up id better not tempt ants into our house!
These are lovely! Thanks for the idea. My three-year-old will have fun with this. :)
How wonderful they look so delightful hanging on the wall.
Have a beautiful week. xxx
I love this! You are a genius!
So lovely and much nicer than shiny synthetic decorations.
beautiful!
Sweet. Try adding persimmons next time....lovely!

So fresh and festive! Thank you for sharing.
They look delicious in every way! Did you have any issues with fruit flies? They plague us here in San Diego, and I'm curious whether these garlands tend to attract them.
Thanks for posting!!!
