What is "Yarn Bombing"? 

Yarn bombing is part street art, part graffiti, and part activism, which combines the seemingly “cute” and comforting elements of knitting and crocheting, with the revolutionary and mild civil disobedience of graffiti / “tagging” of public objects, in order to make some sort of artistic statement. 

Guidelines:  

- All yarn bombing installations must be "family friendly" and not contain offensive material.  

- No experience necessary, all ages and level of skill are encouraged to participate. 

- Artistic displays must not impede the functionality of the fixture.  

- Artistic displays must not make any permanent alterations to the fixture; piece cannot be permanently attached to underneath object and must leave the object unharmed after removal. 

- No yarn bombing installations may be placed on living things, including trees and bushes.  

- There is no limit to the number of bollards you can decorate.  

- Work must be collected no later than June 30th, 2022.  

- By adding your art to the display, you give permission to the City of Elgin to reproduce images of work.  


Once your yarn bombing installation is installed, please take a picture of it and email it to parks@ci.elgin.tx.us with your name, age and contact information.
