The ones in the top picture were made into candle holders and the ones below into rattles.
There is a variety of patterns and colours they decorate them with but are all quite attractive.

A post for Mary - Monkey Orange
A while back I did a post on the Monkey Orange and in response to Mary's question about what they make out of it, I said I would take some pictures of the finished product when I saw them again and post it.

Hi Joan this is so interesting. I called them by another name which probably is not allowed any more! I have never seen them made into items like this before, I am intrigued. Diane
It has just been in recent years that have actually been making things out of them Diane and very attractive ones too.
LOL!! No, it would not be polite. :)
Is that ever pretty!! Now I have to go read your previous post about these :)
Joan: Talented people can make art from anything.
Monkeyballs in whatever way they are used are always beautiful and makes for awesome decorations.
So creative, I especially like the rattles!
Wow - I had a look at the monkey orange post. I cannot recall ever seeing this fruit nor the by-product once decorated. Interesting post this - the world has lots more to explore.
Great topic.
Ah, the Monkey Orange. I probably should have gotten some of those for Mike to make into rattles. Next time, when we both come back.
Thanks Leeloo. Enjoy the other article.:)
Some people have so much talent Tom and make something out of anything.
And they are so popular too Jonker, I see them almost every place I go.
Thanks Diane. They have been used very creaticely.
Glad you enjoyed it Zane. There is so much of interest in this country of ours.
Yes, I think Mike would have liked them Gaelyn. When Mike comes, you can be the tourguide as you learnt so much on your tour here. :)
I like the patterns and colors. Thanks for linking to that older post. I did not see that one before.
Humm, I must have missed the post on them. What beauiful designs.
B.
Yeah Monkey Balls!!!LOL
And as far as the tour guide goes, not without you Joan!
Gaelyn and I want you to be our guide... Your the only one that doesn't bounce off taxi cabs...
Keep walkin' in beauty!
You are welcome Craver. I never used to link back but have started doing so now.
Thanks Becky. It is quite and old post I did on Kruger National Park.
LOL!! Very funny Mike. :)
Thanks, that is sweet of you to say. I might have just been on my best behaviour for Gaelyn's visit but there is no guarantee I will do so next time. :)
And I thought they were easter eggs, lol. Nice stuff. Anna :)
LOL!! Could be made of chocolate Anna but I for one would not like to take a bite of it. :)
I love african patterns and colours. These are so cool! I bought all my Christmas gifts at Cape Town the year I visited South Africa.
Very attractive...they would be fun to collect.
I agree Jose. The patterns are really interesting. I am sure those gifts are treasured as something special. When I was traveling a lot, I used to do the same as there are so many things not available here which are different.
I am glad I was able to show them to you Mary.
We definitely want You to be our guide!
It is nice to know Mike plans to come with. :) Glad you were able to convince him. I dont know how you did it though. :)
Those are really pretty Joan....
Thanks Michelle. Some people are so inventive and can make something out of anything.
