Yarn Bomb

Today I took a big step in growing in confidence. I took the idea from the Voluntary Arts Week Craft Bomb. I have looked at other peoples yarn bombs throughout the past few years and wished that I could do something like that. Spread a little beauty through nice things. I love taking a walk through a park or somewhere and coming across something nice. The Eden Project is amazing for things like that!

So what have I done today? Well, I used my rose pattern and knocked up a few roses in different bright colours that would stand out. Then I linked them all together on a long chain. My mistake was that I didn't scope the area first. If so I would have measured the area first and known exactly how many flowers I would need. I then went for a walk in a local park area and found a lonesome tree looking for some attention. It was surrounded by some beautiful pink flowers so I decided to add more colour and strung my flower chain around a branch. I could have done with a step stool but that might have given me away! :) Have any of you ever done anything like this? I would love to see pictures!

    Oh How fantastic Zoe! I've been intending to yarn bomb for ages and not had the confidence. Love the idea of a chain as you don't have to attatch every flower which all adds to the loitering time!. It looks so colourful in the tree! How did you get it so high up?!
    Have you been back to see if its still brightening up the place? - That's one of my dilemmas - whether to put it somewhere I would frequently see!
    Well Done - very brave and such a positive act of kindness! Hope you do some more!!

      Thank you for such a lovely comment. I have been back and it is still there! Nice to see :) I literally had to step on my tip toes. I wanted to wrap it around the branch but it was too high. A ladder may have given me away though. Ahh you should certainly do one! Everyone should do one at least. When you do send me some pictures! Good luck.
