Question

What can you do with gourds?

Answer 1

Allow them to completely dry .  Now you can paint them different designs and place around the house.  Also if you can cut a small hole in the side and slip a small branch inside and allow it to be a perch for birds nesting site.  MMMMMMM  Give to a daycare and allow the kids to color them and make them into shaking toys.  Just let your imagination run wild

Answer 2

They can be hollowed out, dyed, and used for bird houses, in particular, martin houses.

Answer 3

Depends on what size/ shape. We used to collect the small round ones and let them dy.  Then sanded  and spray painted for Christmas tree decorations, still using them after 20 yr. I grew Calabash and made a pipe ( like Sherlock Holmes ) Have used larger ones for birdhouses. One year grew Bushel Gourd and made a toy box for my kids.
