Slice your oranges into thin rounds (about ¼ inch thick) and bake them at 200°F (93°C) for 2-3 hours, turning halfway through until completely dried. Let them cool before use.
Lay out your orange slices along one side of the wreath, slightly overlapping them to form a layered look. Adjust their placement until you’re happy with the design.
Use a hot glue gun to attach each orange slice firmly to the wreath base. Then press gently and hold for a few seconds to make sure they stick well.
Tie three cinnamon sticks together with a small piece of jute twine, making a neat bow in the center. Glue the bundle to the bottom or side of the wreath for balance.
Decorate with small extras such as star anise, dried flowers, or acorns to fill in any gaps and add texture.
Cut a piece of jute twine, loop it through the top of the wreath, and tie a knot to create a hanger.
Check your wreath for any loose elements and adjust as needed for an even look.
