Saw this idea on pintrist: take pool noodle foam and cut to wrap around trampoline springs! I used a bread knife, eyeballed the length, and sliced a vertical line to open noodle and wrap around spring without removing spring. 11 noodles almost fit all the way around, really need one more for this big trampoline. If they are purely decorative or really help keep kids safe, I don't know. But it looks so good and brightens up this corner of yard! I wanted yellow ones (super big ones at Walmart), but they were 4 times as expensive. Thank you, dollar store won with a shade of turquoise and lighter blue.
The "Jump 4 Joy" made with graffit moss:
Directions vary (some recipes suggest using cheap beer or yougurt), but most agree to wash dirt from moss, put in blender with buttermilk, little sugar, grind up to release moss spores, and "paint" on brick and keep moist with spray bottle to help it take root and grow. My mixture was so runny it was hard to keep it from dripping or to make smaller letters...I am curious to see how well these take off growing. All are on the north-shady side of our home. I will take photos in a few weeks to show the progress or the pintrist-fail...
