How to Make the Orange Slice Angels

Step 1: Cut one dried orange slice in half. These two pieces will become the angel’s wings.

Step 2: Place the two orange halves behind one whole dried orange slice and hot glue them in place.

Step 3: Glue two cinnamon sticks vertically down the center of the whole orange slice to create the angel’s body.

Step 4: Glue a natural wood bead above the cinnamon sticks for the angel’s head.

Step 5: Tie a small jute bow around the cinnamon sticks just below the wood bead.

Step 6: Cut a piece of jute, form a loop, and glue it behind the wood bead for hanging.

Step 7: Allow the glue to dry completely, then your orange and cinnamon angel is ready to hang.

Decorating Ideas

These little orange and cinnamon angels are just as fun to decorate with as they are to make. Hang them on your Christmas tree, string several together for a natural holiday garland, or gather a few in a decorative bowl with dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, pinecones, and greenery. They also make a sweet finishing touch tied around a bottle, jar, wrapped gift, or holiday basket. Their natural textures and warm citrus-and-cinnamon aroma add a cozy handmade touch wherever you use them.
