Create adorable yoyo Christmas tree ornaments as a thoughtful gift this holiday. Easy to make with fabric flowers, perfect for fans of handmade decorations.
Cut the fabric using the yoyo template. Start by cutting the larger circles first (for example, if you plan to make 3 trees, cut out three large circles). Then trim the pattern to the next circle and repeat to cut out the fabrics corresponding to that circle size. Repeat until you finish all circles.
Cut out small stars from the fleece scraps, one per tree.
Thread a hand needle and tie the end with a secure knot.
Start making your yoyo flowers (if you don't know how to make yoyo flowers, here's a quick tutorial)
When all flowers are done, separate them in groups corresponding to each tree. Arrange the yoyo's from the largest to the smallest.
Thread he needle with baker's twine then pass the needle through the middle of all yoyo flowers in one group, starting from the largest to the smallest. Don't thread the flowers too tights, leave a little space between flowers so you can fluff up the yoyo's later on, when all flowers are attached.
After threading the smallest yoyo, thread a star through the middle, like you would thread a button.
Leave a tail of baker's twine, long enough to create a loop. This will be used to hang the tree.
Hot glue an old, used spool to the bottom of the tree and you're done making the first tree.
Continue in the same manner for as many trees as you like.
