The first step is to cut the slices into slices oranges (1 or 2 cm thick), and dry them, placing them on radiators, turning them often, or even in the oven (at 40 ° for 6 hours).

The same goes for i cookies, which will have to be pierced with a thin iron (if they do not already have the hole), and which can be hung on the tree with ribbons, depending on your personal taste.

The result? A tree that will certainly appeal to young and old alike.

And if you want to be daring, you can also use chocolate, cinnamon, apples, pine cones and everything that will make your Christmas decorations unique.
