DIY Tree Skirts and Christmas Tree Sale TipsDecember 4, 2024
Did you know that when Christmas trees first started appearing in homes that many people used what they had on hand to decorate their trees? At first, there were really no ornaments that could be purchased by the middle-class people. These ornaments were something that were left for the rich to purchase. So, many homes throughout the world would decorate with items that they had on hand. And one of these items that they would purchase just to hang on their trees would be fruit. Of course, they would later eat the fruit because most people did not put their tree up for the entire month of December. For those who are looking for ways in which they can decorate their 10 foot artificial Christmas trees with methods that they used years ago, dried fruit is a great option with the benefit of this lasting for the entire month of December on your 10 foot artificial Christmas trees.
Using dried fruit on your 10 foot artificial Christmas trees is going to add color and depth, and it can be fairly easy to make. The best idea is to use citrus fruits like lemon, oranges, grapefruits, tangerines and the like. You will find that these fruits dry the best and they are going to add some lovely color to this. To start drying this fruit, you will want to slice this very thin and keep the skin on this fruit. Then dry this out in your oven. Most people find that 20 to 25 minutes at 350 in an oven will do the trick, but this really depends on the thickness. You will find that once this is dry, you can hang this with hangars on your 10 foot artificial Christmas trees with ease.
Add in a few traditional bulb ornaments to help shine the light on this dried fruit throughout your 10 foot artificial Christmas trees, and you will have an amazing-looking tree!
