Sweet Gum Ball Crafts
The Sweet Gum Ball Tree is known for its ball shaped, thorny seedpods. We have one of these wonderfully tall trees in our front yard. In the Fall, the leaves change to beautiful oranges and yellows.
I collect the seedpods throughout the year as they drop onto our lawn. Sweet gum balls are a natural, eco friendly item to use for all sorts of crafts. I enjoy them most in their natural state just thrown into a bowl or using them for place card holders.
Spray paint them gold or silver and make Holiday garland, ornaments or wreaths. Add them to a gift, in place of a bow. The ideas are endless.
