Stewart’s IG post invites fans to watch digital editor Alexandra Churchill DIY the wreath, writing, “How to Decorate a Wreath with Dried Fruit. Watch digital editor @alexandra_churchill decorate her wreath with oven-dried orange slices, cranberry garlands, and seasonal spices that emit a warm aroma, perfect for an evergreen wreath at Christmastime. For longevity, mist your regularly and display it outdoors on your front door.”
In the video, Churchill explains that she likes to “slice them up and dry them in the oven” before adding the oranges to her wreath. The step-by-step clip explains exactly how to successfully make your dried fruit picture-perfect. While adding dried fruit to your wreath, Churchill recommends bundling cinnamon sticks or “adding cloves to decorative pomanders.”
