Yarn Bombing







No, no, no to violence - but Yarn Bombing? Now this sounds like fun... and...

Wait till Auntie Peaches sees this concept, from Lion Brand yarn. Sure, they are online; but order a catalogue and just drool. The colors! The hip styles! The ideas! Something for everyone... 

As for the chair, I can envision it in Aubrey's bedroom, or maybe in Auntie's living room. Yes?! If you don't knit or crochet, LEARN! No? Well then, just collect sweaters from your own drawers and/or hit on relatives, friends and thrift shops to find diversity in texture, color and wild thangs. Cut and sew. Find a few kids to make pom-poms. No pom-pom maker? No problem. Wind lots of yarn around stiff cardboard; slide off and tie in middle; cut ends and fluff, fluff, fluff.

My Plays On The Idea:
I'm thinkin' of old rattan seats that might need some reweaving. How 'bout a temporary fix? Some nice, cushy yarn bombing would work well... think stuffing... and finish with long ties and dangling pom-poms... and/or...

Booties... especially for chairs that need to slide on tile or wood. Yes, I shall get crackin' asap for our kitchen chairs.

Happy Creating...Color Me!
