6 Days Of Yo-Yo Fun.....Yo-Yo Garland

Happy Monday, friends!
First of all,
thank you for the sweet comments yesterday.
I am feeling a little better this morning thanks to lots of rest
and your wonderful thoughts and prayers.
I truly appreciate all of you!

A little while ago a lovely lady contacted me

and asked if I could make some things with yo-yo's

and share the projects on my blog.

Thanks to this lady's request

I decided to do 6 days of yo-yo fun.

Each day this week

I will be sharing a fun and easy yo-yo project.

I hope you're able to join me each day

and hopefully you'll see something 

that inspires you to make some fabric yo-yo's.

Today's project is a sweet little garland I made for my small tinsel tree.

Someday I would love to make a large one for my big Christmas tree,

but for now I simply made a small one.

You will need:

scrap fabric

thread

needle

scissors

pearls

Decide how big you want your yo-yo's

and then cut out however many you think you need for the garland.

Mine were about 3-inch circles

and I made 12.

To make the yo-yo

simply fold the edge over slightly

and sew a gathering stitch.

Gently pull the thread to form a nice gathered center

and knot at the end to finish.

4 yo-yo's down. . .

8 more to go.

Only 4 more left.

YAY!

All 12 are done.

Thread a needle and knot at the end.

Now just pull it through a yo-yo and then add a pearl.

Alternate a yo-yo and a pearl

until your garland is done.

Now it's time to hang the garland on the tree.

Thanks for visiting today, sweet friends!

I would be tickled pink if you can stop by tomorrow 

to see day 2 of the yo-yo fun.

Love and hugs!
