Warmth & Joy on Post Boxes

22/09/2024

When craft enthusiast Fanny moved to the UK during Christmas, she was captivated by handmade decorations adorning post boxes and street corners. The creative Post Box Toppers especially caught her eye—proof that even a small round space on a post box could become a stage for imagination.

Last year, Fanny crocheted her first Lunar New Year -themed topper, which delighted the local community. Encouraged by the response, she teamed up with Ada, whom she met through community activities, to form TaiNan Hamlet, creating toppers inspired by Hong Kong culture. Along the way, they discovered unexpected connections with the local community. Now, they not only craft new designs but also teach crochet, building friendships through shared creativity.

In this episode of Hongkongers in Focus, join two crochet enthusiasts as they share the joys and challenges of making post box toppers. Watch them guide a group of beginners in crafting a special Snake Year topper, weaving surprise and warmth into the cityscape.
