    Quick Wins

    Yarn bombing is a guerrilla creative craft - adding crochet, knitting or other yarn based crafts to public objects such as trees and bollards.

    Ingredients:

    • Yarn based crafts such as crochet/knitting
    • Yarn

    Method:

    1. Choose an object that needs to be brightened up such as a tree trunk or bollard.
    2. Put the call out to the community for crocheted granny squares or similar then adorn your object with them. This is a great activity to get older citizens involved with, and pass down their crafty knowledge.
    3. We've seen some fabulous examples of bollards turned into characters and trees given knitted jumpers for winter.
