How to Make Elegant Wreaths from Dried Orange Slices and Ribbon

How to Make Elegant Wreaths from Dried Orange Slices and RibbonPicture sunlight captured in a circle, that’s the magic of these dried orange wreaths.

Each slice becomes a petal, radiating outward in vibrant shades of amber and gold.

Plus, the striped bow ties everything together, giving it both modern style and vintage charm.

When hung on your door, the wreath feels like a warm welcome, inviting everyone inside to share in the glow of the season.

Materials Needed

  • 40-50 dried orange slices (2-3 inches each)
  • 1 flat wreath form (wooden, cardboard, or wire, 14-16 inches wide)
  • 1 spool of wide striped ribbon (2.5-3 inches wide, about 2-3 yards)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Floral wire (optional)
  • Scissors
  • Clear acrylic spray (optional, to preserve citrus color)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Prepare your wreath base.

If using cardboard or wood, paint it a neutral color (brown or white) so it blends with the oranges. Then allow to dry completely.

Step 2: Begin arranging your dried orange slices around the wreath form.

Start by laying them out in a single layer, slightly overlapping edges like flower petals. You can adjust until the circle looks even.

Step 3: Once satisfied with the layout, glue each slice in place with hot glue. Also, press firmly for a few seconds to ensure they stick flat.

Step 4: Add a second layer of orange slices on top of the first, overlapping them in between the gaps.

This creates depth and fullness, making the wreath look rich and complete.

Step 5: Cut a length of striped ribbon and tie it into a large bow.

If you want extra volume, make two bows and layer them. Secure the bow with floral wire or hot glue at the top or bottom of your wreath.

Step 6: Trim the ribbon tails neatly, letting them cascade down for elegance.

Step 7: Spray lightly with clear acrylic sealer to preserve the oranges and keep them vibrant. Allow to dry fully before hanging.

Step 8: Attach a loop of ribbon or twine to the back of the wreath for hanging. Then place it on your front door, wall, or even as a window decoration.

Tips:

For variation, tuck in sprigs of evergreen, star anise, or cinnamon sticks between orange slices. It adds fragrance and layers of texture without losing the citrus glow.
