What you will need

The main ingredient

Oranges
PVA glue
Glitter
Bodkin and thread
Ribbon
Ask an adult to help you as knives can be very sharp!

Instructions

		Step 1 Cut the oranges up into 1/2 inch slices and place on a baking tray. Get an adult to help you.
Step 2 Pop them into a pre-heated oven on gas mark 2 for an hour, turning them over halfway. Allow to dry overnight.
		Step 3 When the oranges are dry, dip into PVA glue or pour it on and sprinkle with glitter or sequins.
Step 4 When dry, repeat on the other side.
		Step 5 Thread the orange slices together, making sure you carefully thread the bodkin right through the centre of the slice.
Step 6 Secure the ends and sew a piece of ribbon tightly to the top. Make a bow with the two ribbons which hang down straight. Then make another bow.
		Step 7 Next, secure the middle with a stitch or two or a little brooch or safety pin. Now you can hang up your mobile!

Your decorations are now ready to hang up. Hang them next to a mirror or on the wall in the hall.
