Yo-Yo Garland

Wahla! This year's Thanksgiving craft! Haley and Kellie (2 of my older sisters) discovered this amazing garland online (at heatherbailey.typepad.com/heather_bailey/2006/12/yoyo_garland.html). It was so fun and so easy but unbelieveably time consuming. We cut up millions of fabric scraps into 5" circles and then sewed around the edges to make each cute yo-yo. That process took about 8 minutes per circle. Multiple that by the 60 I was able to complete on the drive home from Montana (a 12 hour journey) and you get one short, but very cute Christmas tree garland and several bruised and punctured fingers. :)


Some of my still uncompleted circles...



The end result!
