begin preheat the oven to a low heat, like 120oC, and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Slice the oranges into slices, around half an inch thick, and line up on the lined tray so they&#8217;re not overlapping. You may also want to blot a little with kitchen roll, and remove any large pips you can see. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Put in the oven for up to 3 hours, checking regularly to make sure your orange slices aren&#8217;t burning. Flip them over halfway through the cooking time. You can tell they&#8217;re ready when they start to look dry and go a browner colour &#8211; they should look dehydrated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">When they&#8217;re cooked, put them on a cooling rack until they&#8217;ve completely cooled. When you&#8217;re ready to start putting together your garland, carefully use a skewer to pierce a hole through the top part of each orange slice, and get your other pieces of the garland ready. Cut a piece of string\/wool to the length you want it, leaving enough room at each end to tie a loop to hang it up with. Put the ingredients onto individual pieces of thread, and tie them onto the string so they&#8217;re all hanging down from the main string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">For the star anise, I found it better to wrap the thread around it a few times so it was more secure.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">xx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1843,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[828,854,853],"class_list":["post-1774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogmas","tag-blogmas-2020","tag-christmas-crafts","tag-diy-orange-garland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1774"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1845,"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1774\/revisions\/1845"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1843"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/katygoodship.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
