yo-yo Christmas tree ornaments

by Chloe on November 17th, 2007

Oops.

I just left a very pretty Christmas wreath that I made out of yo-yos & ribbon at a local craft store.

Without taking a photo to share with you all!

It’s a demo for a class I’m teaching in December & I will get it back…  I just should have remembered before I left the store today :-)

I do have another Christmasy yo-yo project though:

Christmas tree yo-yo ornament

It’s a quick & easy 15 minute ornament.  I’ve strung 5 small (1″ across) yo-yos together, with a bead in between each yo-yo.   I made a little decorative picot on the bottom with 4 beads stitched into a circle.  The hanger is a piece of ribbon with a bow, stitched into the top yo-yo.

Seriously, 15 minutes for a cute ornament!

    Thanks if I start now I should have enough yo yos made for next years round of ornaments. I already have this years done.

    ps I don’t think the 15 minutes is counting the yo yo making time unless you are a lot faster then I am.

    Okay, I should have been more specific :-) I can make the entire ornament including yo-yos in 15 minutes. I did a little testing this morning with my family and it ranged from 2 minutes to 5 minutes per individual yo-yo. Timings depend on lots of different things :-)
