To help you celebrate the end of the year in style, we’ve teamed up with some computational artists to add a little zest to your holiday decorations.

Below you will find designs for three pieces of citrus peel art, along with instructions for how to produce them. We’ve chosen a Christmas tree because it is seasonal, an octopus because of our fantastic octopus feature (see “Octopuses were thought to be solitary until a social species turned up“) and a stegosaurus because, let’s face it, who doesn’t love a dinosaur?

Make your own unique holiday diorama and tweet us pictures of your creations with the hashtag #NScitruspeel. So grab a satsuma, a mandarin, a clementine, an orange, a grapefruit, a tangerine or – if you are feeling particularly dextrous – a kumquat – and get peeling!
