FELT, FIBRE, YARN, CRAFT & YARN BOMBING AROUND HOME

THE ABOVE GARDEN ORNAMENT HAS BEEN YARN BOMBED WITH COLOURFUL KNITTING. THE BIRDS NECK IS BEING KEPT WARM BY SOME VERY FLUFFY ACRYLIC KNIT YARN.

THE ABOVE TREE IS PART OF A SMALL HEDGE IN MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVE WRAPPED THE BRANCH WITH SIMPLE FINGER KNITTING.

THE ABOVE PHOTO IS A CLOSE UP OF A MIXED MEDIA YARN BOMBED BRANCH. THE GNARLED WOOD IS ADORNED WITH CROCHET, KNITTING, FINGER KNITTING & PLAIN YARNS WRAPPED DIRECTLY AROUND THE BRANCH.

THE ABOVE PICTURE IS A SUPER SIMPLE HOOK RUG PIECE THAT I USE AS A POT HOLDER OR MATT TO SIT HOT PLATES ON.

I WANTED SOMETHING CUTE TO KEEP THE GAMEBOY IN. I USED BLANKET STITCH AROUND THE EDGE OF SOME COTTON FELT & DECORATED IT WITH SOME EMBROIDERED MUSHROOMS.

COME BACK SOON FOR SOME MORE CRAFTY INSPIRATIONS OR JUST TO CHECK OUT THE COLOURFUL PHOTOGRAPHY. THANKS FOR DROPPING BY.

GET INTO CRAFT BY YARN BOMBING YOUR HOME

I MADE THIS LIGHT SHADE MYSELF AND IT WAS REALLY EASY AND INEXPENSIVE TO DO.

I BOUGHT THE FRAME FOR MY LAMP SHADE AT MY LOCAL CRAFT STORE

YOU COULD ALSO RECYCLE AN OLDER WIRE FRAMED SHADE BY STRIPPING OFF THE OLD COVERING.

I USED KNITTING YARN TO DECORATE MY SHADE. THE PROCESS WAS REALLY SIMPLE. I CHOSE MY COLOURS AND WRAPPED THEM AROUND THE FRAME IN STRIPES. AS I STRETCHED THE YARN AROUND THE FRAME I LOOPED IT AROUND EACH OF THE WIRE SEGMENTS TO ANCHOR IT.
