ORANGE SLICE GARLAND

YOU WILL NEED

Orange slices

Twine

Rosemary

Cinnamon sticks

Faux or real berries

Flowers

Scissors

Ribbon (optional)

1 Using the twine, thread and tie on the first orange slice, securing this in place so it doesn't slip. Continue adding more slices by pushing the twine through the top and bottom of the slices. Don't worry about wrong or right sides as the slices will twist around independently as you go.

2 Tie in a couple of cinnamon sticks - a group works better than just one. Simply knot in place along the twine. If using, add colour and texture with a ribbon. Tie in place on the twine in a bow.

3 Introduce more colour, texture and scent with herbs, faux or fresh berries and flowers. Keep it random for a homemade quality, mixing up ingredients as you go by simply tying in place. Hang and drape around your home. Using in single garlands for simplicity or in doubled or tripled amounts for added wow factor.

BEESWAX CANDLEYOU WILL NEED

Beeswax sheets
Candle wicks
Scissors
Orange slices
