Monday - We made fruit ornaments

Well we ate the fruit for a snack, but we did make ornaments out of the peels. Why not?
They smell good and they are so cute.
If you would like to make them it is quite easy.
Peel the lemon, lime, orange or grapefruit. Leave the largest pieces of the peeling as possible. Then use scissors or cookie cutters to shape them. We used a toothpick to make the holes and then put on a hook.
Let me warn you to first dry them before hanging or they will curl.
You can press them in a flower press, or between wax paper under a heavy book or inside of a book if you don't mind the smell later on. I don't.
