Who this list is for
This list is made for anyone setting out to craft a dried citrus garland for a single kitchen window. It’s best for people who want a natural, handmade decoration using real fruit and simple materials. No food prep or serving—just a decorative project for your home.
How to use this list
Gather all supplies before you start. Begin with oranges, lemons, and grapefruit—slice them evenly for best drying. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment, arrange the slices, and dry them in the oven. Use a cooling rack to finish drying. When the slices are ready, thread them onto jute twine using the large-eye needle. Alternate citrus slices with cinnamon sticks and wooden beads. Use scissors to cut twine to size. Hang the garland across your kitchen window with removable adhesive hooks.
What to skip
Don’t use wet or thick citrus slices—they won’t dry well and can mold. Skip plastic beads or artificial fruit if you want a fully natural look. Avoid regular thread; it’s not strong enough for the weight. Don’t hang the garland before the fruit is fully dry, or it may sag or attract pests.
What is on this list
Key items include oranges, lemons, grapefruit, baking parchment, jute twine, large-eye needle, cinnamon sticks, wooden beads, scissors, baking sheet, cooling rack, and removable adhesive hooks. Check off what you already have, like scissors or a baking sheet. The amounts are scaled for one kitchen window.
After the visit
When the season is over or if the garland starts to fade, carefully remove it from the hooks. Compost the citrus and cinnamon if possible. Wipe down the window area to remove any residue. Store the wooden beads and hooks for next year’s project.
