DIY Dried Fruit Christmas Centerpiece

driedfruit-headerDried fruit decorations at Christmas create a rustic, homey atmosphere, and what more could you want during the season of giving and spending time with family!

Dried fruit is easy enough to make, even with little ones helping.  And once you’ve dried the fruit, you can use it to create this centerpiece, a garland for your mantle or a wreath for your door.

You’ll need to either dehydrate your fruit slices in a food dehydrator, or bake them like I did.  The instructions are below:
