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.
