Fully upcycled decoy wasp nest! Turns out some wasps that build nests are territorial, you can deter them from building by placing a decoy wasp nest in an area you’d like to keep them away from. Best results if you put your decoy nest out in June.

These have been crocheted using approximately 20 old plastic shopping bags. These 20 bags are transformed into plarn (plastic yarn) to crochet one fake hive. Each hive is then filled with plastic films, bags and scraps that aren’t appropriate for making into plarn. The upcycled nature of these hives requires about 2+ hours of construction from making the plarn, crocheting, filling and finishing the piece. These decoy nests will withstand rain and the outdoor elements and will function for years to come.
