I'm new to yo-yo making. I've seen them around the internet being used for many different projects and thought, hmmm now wouldn't one of those make a simple Christmas ornament. So here's what I came up with! (Please excuse the dodgy photos - the light as usual is awful here!).
First up I cut out a circle - I think it was roughly 10cm in size, I used a bowl to draw around.
Then I folded over the edge and did a simple running stitch - all normal yo-yo making stuff so far!
Now its getting ever so slightly exciting! I popped a bit of stuffing into the centre :-)
Then I pulled on the cotton to draw up the thread, making a lightly stuffed yo-yo....
... Sewed on a button and bit of ribbon and voila! A very simple hanging tree ornament! So simple in fact its embarrassing. Ah well sometimes the best ideas are the easiest ones ;-)
