Here you can see the garland on my Christmas tree from last year.
Here is my Christmas tree 2013 decorated with my handmade yo-yo garland.
To make each fabric yo-yo you need to have each fabric cut into 5 1/4 inch x 5 1/4 inch circles. To make each yo-yo you can see the tutorial at Stephanie's blog The Enchanting Rose.
I really enjoyed sewing these together and I hope I have inspired you to make your own Yo-Yo Garland.
I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season and thanks for stopping by!

I love this garland Julie! I've just finished decorating my third tree and feel totally decorated out! What was lovely was one of the boxes I opened to find your Christmas bauble from last year along with the wreath brooch and garland tree decorations from you and one from Stephanie too! All are now on my tree on my landing :-) Have a wonderful week xx
ReplyDeleteJulie- That is adorable! I love it. My gramma made yo-you quilts, too. What a fun thing to put on a tree! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea Julie! I love fabric yo yo's but have never made any. It really does give a sort of country or Victorian look to your tree. I still haven't got decorations out yet. I have a garland I made out of felted sweaters cut into 1-inch circles all threaded together. It has a similar look to the yo yo's. Thanks for the link too! Enjoy your evening :) Wendy x
ReplyDeleteI have made many yo-yos but never a garland with them. This is so pretty and it does indeed give your tree a warm, country feel. Looking forward to seeing it on your tree this year. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Vicky
Beautiful garland, Julie :-) I've never mastered the art of sewing (the dream still lives on), but I crochet a lot of yo yos. Maybe I'll try my hand at a crocheted yo yo garland.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea, Julie! Yo yo's sure make for an adorable garland.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and different!
ReplyDeleteHello Julie, hope you are doing well. I love yo yo's and what a fabulous idea to make them for your Christmas tree garland!!! It is lovely!!! Hugs, Beverly
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! they look very pretty on your tree, great for fabric stash busting too. :) xx
ReplyDeleteI love using garlands to drape over doors and everywhere! I have never made a yo yo....but I know they are fun and easy! And it really looks beautiful on your magnificent tree! Holiday hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a yo yo garland! Looks adorable, and I just learned something new :).
ReplyDeleteIt's darling. I've never seen one before! So festive! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea and they are so pretty! ;0 )
ReplyDeleteI've not seen a yo-yo garland before and it's pretty. The fact that it is hand made and washable means it will likely last a long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to Mosaic Monday.
Very pretty, Julie! I have never seen a yo-yo garland, but it's very sweet and I love the homemade air it adds to your tree!! :)

ReplyDeletewhat a fun idea!! and great scrap buster too! You could even use specific colors or patterns if you wanted a particular look for your tree :) like snowflakes!
ReplyDeleteI just love your yo-yo garland, dear Julie! I have always thought about makig one, but just haven't made enough yo-yo's to get it done :) I should start now and slowly make a garland throughout the year.

ReplyDeleteHi Julie, I've thought about making something with yo yos but it looks like so much work.Maybe I'll be able give your project a go. Thanks for the great idea. Stay warm and best wishes, Darlene
ReplyDeleteHello Julie, what a lovely idea the garland looks unique and gives the tree a vintage style all of it's own :-)
ReplyDeleteI love those yo yo's! And what a great idea to make garland for the Christmas tree.
ReplyDeleteShould I love to sew ~ I would likely make one of those pretties.
Merry Christmas!

That's a lot of yo-yo's! I love them. They're so cheerful and home-y, and remind me of my grandmother. So many ideas . . . so little time! But something I'm going to bookmark. Thanks Julie for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this and think it's a wonderful idea. A great way to use up fabric scraps. I'm definitely heading over to Stephanie's blog.

Very cute! I have a paper garland that I made out of magazines that I was trying to get to look like yo-yos. I have a small fabric yo-yo garland on my tree now, but I'd love to make more sometime. And it would be an easy sewing craft that my daughter could do as well. Stopping by from Creative Mondays. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ornaments, Julie!!! I love your Christmas tree!
