You can dry the okra, cut in half, cut in circles or left whole. First wash the okra and pat dry with a towel. Put your okra in a large bowl and add salt and cayenne pepper. Toss the okra to coat the okra. Normally this will dry in 12 to 18 hours depending on the dehydration period and the size of the okra.

I poke holes in them and get all the moisture out as I can... leave them out to dry.

No salt and pepper needed for crafts but for cooking - yes.

Drying can be accomplished in several ways:
1) Leave it on the plant until it dries out completely

2) Dry it in a low oven for several hours
3) Dry it in a dehydrator
4) Lay it out to dry. (punch tiny holes first)

Here are links to a couple of Christmas crafts but the Internet has lots of ideas.

Dry okra on a hot day.It should dry in one day.Wash the small ones leave stems on them.Cut into medium pieces.Put okra in boiling bag in boiler.Let boil 4 minutes,let cool and dump okra in a pan.Let cool, sit in the sun.Put a cloth over your okra.Turn them over once in a while when dry it will not be sticky, but leathery.Put into jars and take out after 3 days. Heat oven to 170 degrees put okra on cookie sheets.Keep in oven 60 minutes, turn off oven. Leave sheets in oven until cool.Then you can put back into clean dry jars and use as needed.

Many readers seem to be missing the words "Christmas craft".
Some good recipes for preparing okra though.
