I love the big area for weaving as well as all the materials and textures and colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
ReplyDeleteHow funny - I've just returned from a gardening centre where I was trying to decide whether to buy this mesh or the flexible netting which can be draped more easily around structures. In the end I just bought herbs for my garden.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to do large weaving with my children, and hadn't thought of garden mesh! This works well, and the photos are very nice.
ReplyDeleteI have,seen a very nice post on wall weaving at Flight of Whimsey, as well.

What a great idea. We're just getting back into the garden after all the rain and we certainly have enough natural materials and otherwise to weave with!
ReplyDeletethis is fabulous! is it alright to say that i prefer how they wove through the outdoor one and turned it into a den? that to me is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun activity! My daughter wanted to weave her own easter basket for today's egg hunt... If only I still had my stash of ribbon :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous idea to combine garden mesh with ribbons! Beautiful!
