Crocheted post box royal toppers

[newnamethanks]

There were a lot of these around for last royal beano and they were remarkably cheerful. Anyone got any photos of current ones? Or are they few and far between? I've seen some on tv but none in real life.👑

There's a Facebook group called UK Post Box Toppers and More that has loads of pictures from all over the country.

I was just about to post about the fb group, there are loads out there.

You need to search for the BBC or Facebook pics of Oundle's KCIII bollard topper 😆

I think it's a lovely idea and very clever. What I would like to know is do the people making them just pop it on a box of their choosing or is there someone organising what goes where.

Nope it's all individual decisions, nothing centralised!

Well it's often a village or town "yarn bombing" group, so planned in that sense!

Our lovely toppers! Someone makes them for all occasions. They make people smile.

I think they are great - I really enjoy them - not seen any coronation ones locally, but lots of other nice ones. Nobody around here has any real interest in the coronation

O they are FAB. Thank you for posting and huge thanks to those making them. Lovely.

We have loads near us. They are just brilliant. Easter , Christmas and sea festivals are all catered for
So much talent

Sometimes the yarnbombing is an organised activity. 24 post boxes were covered in a town near us with proceeds (you buy a map to find all the boxes) going to hospice care. My dd made this one for a beside the sea theme. She taught herself to crochet and was 15 when she made this.

I love these too! @Cherrysherbet if you come across the pattern for this one, I’d really like to have bash at making it. Just love the ears 😁

Those are rather marvellous. Lift a rather grey, cool May.

One near me.

They are incredibly clever - I’m always stunned (and delighted!) that they don’t get damaged or stolen!

My local postbox:)

They'd make me do a massive eye roll if I saw one 🤣

I found one today, I know of one nearish me that’s done regularly but I’ve never seen one on this box before

There’s one at the end of my road, I’ll take a picture tomorrow for you.

These things are so brilliantly, Britishly, cute and Kitsch!

Oh I love these. I saw loads around with the Jubilee but not spotted any recently, I'll have to keep an eye out.

@ShanghaiDiva that is lovely 😊

I love these and enjoy finding them with DS5. I'll take some photos of our local ones the hours of work put into them is incredible. Does anyone know what happens to them when a new one is put on? I'm on Facebook so I don't know if there is a process for them 😁

I saw a picture of a bollard that had been yarn bombed. It had big ears and a crown!
