I make decorations with dried orange slices, but I've never thought of shaping the peel - what a great idea!!
You can speed up the process by baking them in a low oven.
And they *can* be waterproofed by varnishing or coating with PVA etc.
I did not think orange leather
I made some about 8 months ago and haven't rotten yet.
One question though;
Will they rot/start to smell after a while?
