Yo Yo Bell Ornament


Created with stuffed yo-yo's. Decorate the tree, wreath or packages. I am going to start these for next year. I love making Yo-Yo's

You need

Thread/scraps of Christmas fabric/fiberfill/jingle bells.

How to :

For each ornament you will need 4 circles all different sizes . Sew a hand running stitch around the edges of each circle for gathering

Place a small amount of fiberfill in center if circle, then pull thread to gather edges. Secure thread.

Stack the yo-yo's having the largest at the bottom and the smallest at the top. Starting at the top of the yo-yo's tree. push threaded needle down through the center of all four yo-yo's. Slip the bell over the needle and hold it at the bottom of the largest yo-yo.Bring the needle back yo through the center of the tree and take a stitch to secure. So not cut thread. Take another stitch leaving a 4'loop for hanging the ornament take a stitch to secure. Do not cut thread.

Cut a 15 inch piece ribbon. Place center of ribbon over the last stitch and take a stitch through ribbon to hold in place. Secure thread and cut. Tie a bow in the ribbon.
