"...put (yarn scraps) out on your deck or patio for the birds to use in their nest building, use it to tie up plants that need support, wrap a gift with yarn instead of ribbon, or make those cute owls!!!"
(tips by quiltmomdesigns )
Note: Yarn should be cut in 4" - 6" lengths to be safe for bird nesting material.

"I've also used yarn as a plant
support - works great! If the
support needs to be a bit
thicker, crochet a chain first."

Even itty bits of yarn on a brown-paper-wrapped gift are so darned cute!
Or how about just tying one to the other
for one long strand (leaving the ends) and
wrapping it around and around?

This insanely fascinating idea
uses yarn pieces to resemble grass,
to trap eggs from spawning fish!
Kid project alert! Kansas State University: Urban Food Systems uses pink strings of yarn with evenly spaced beads as tools to show students where to plant their seeds based on recommended spacing.

I put bits of scraps out in the bird bath and the beginning of spring. They are all gone now and I am hoping to catch of glimpse of them in the nests in the next couple of weeks.
ReplyDeleteIn the bird bath! What a good idea! It would be so neat to look up and see a nest and with a colorful little piece of yarn and know you helped!
