This tree was yarn bombed with a lot of love, a lot of yarn went into it and a lot of hours were spent knitting it, not to mention the effort involved in attaching it to the tree.

Unfortunately some vandals got to this yarn bombing with some sort of blade. The good news is that the tree is happy and healthy and we got to the scene quickly and did some repair work on the knitting.

The repairs were done on the fly and the only tool we had at hand were some sparkly craft pipe cleaners.

The pipe cleaners did their job well and I think even added some pizzaz to the yarn bombing.
