One use of old okra pods is a craft project for kids. Let mature pods dry--on plant if possible. You will know when they are dry because they turn brown. Snap off plant. Rub off any spines with a towel or light sandpaper. Paint the sides colors of your choice, you can add glitter, bows, whatever. They look amazing on Christmas trees and best of all, they rattle!
