How to Make Yo-Yo Wreath Ornaments

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Decide what size yo-yos you need for your project. For the wreath, you'll need twelve 1 1/2-inch yo-yos.
Step 2

Cut your fabric circles twice the size of the yo-yos, plus 1/2 inch. For example, since you need 1 1/2-inch yo-yos, you'll cut 3 1/2-inch circles.
Step 3

Turn the edge of a circle toward the wrong side of the fabric, forming a 1/4-inch hem.
Step 4

Make a small running stitch through both layers.
Step 5

Begin to pull the thread, drawing the outer edges in to form a pouch.
Step 6

Leave a hole wide enough to stuff quilt batting inside.
Step 7

Insert just enough batting to puff up the yo-yo.
Step 8

After filling it, pull the thread tighter, gathering the circle. The right side of the fabric should be facing out.
Step 9

Tie a knot and clip off the extra thread.

Step 1

Make twelve 1 1/2-inch yo-yos from Christmas fabric.
Step 2

String the yo-yos together, with heavy thread running through the middle of each one.
Step 3

Bring the first yo-yo up to the last to form the wreath.
Step 4

Sew through the first one again and tie a knot in the thread.
Step 5

Tie a bow out of a 3/8-inch-wide ribbon.
Step 6

Sew or glue the bow to your wreath.
