Forget popcorn chains: Sherry and John over at Young House Love have a natural tree decoration with a twist. Dried citrus slices make a statement on an evergreen, and they're an easy DIY that can be composted once the season is over.
Follow this simple and frugal how-to with stunning results over at Young House Love.
We can imagine that these would also be pretty on a lighted garland, or strung together with some jute or hemp. We like the idea of citrus-themed holiday decor, too—it's not a color scheme often associated with winter, but we know that citrus is in season in many states right now.

I spotted this idea on their blog the other day, and immediately began making plans for a dried citrus (and probably some cinnamon sticks) display in my big hurricane lantern once I change out the Christmas ornament it's currently holding. It's going to make January and February bright and fun!
Oh my goodness. I was just going to write a tutorial for this on my blog. I'll have to read their technique. It looks lovely.
