If you have access to thick skinned oranges, why not try this craft that was in vogue in the Eighteenth century using the rind of bitter or bergamot oranges, and make beautifully scented, fully biodegradable gift boxes.

These would make an excellent eco Christmas craft, and is an easy way to upcycle your orange peels.

I now have a 'buy me a coffee' page which helps fund my ongoing research and the making of these free videos. If you'd like to support me, please visit ko-fi.com/sallypointer Thank you!
