I decorate the house for Christmas by making garlands out of everything, such as spruce cuttings, pine cones, dried orange slices and even fresh apple slices that are left to dry hanging from the ceiling, says Karoline.
If you eat a lot of citrus fruit in the winter, you can cut out stars or other shapes from the leftover peel, then use a needle and red thread to pierce through the peel and string them all together.
The dried orange slices almost look like old stained-glass church windows when the light shines through them.
