Step-by-Step Guide to Making Yo-Yo Ornaments

Step 1: Cut the Fabric Circles

1. Trace Circles: Use your circular template to trace circles on the fabric. Remember, the diameter of your fabric circle should be twice the size of your finished Yo-Yo.

   Example: To make a 2-inch Yo-Yo, trace a 4-inch circle.
   

2. Cut Circles: Cut out the fabric circles carefully, ensuring smooth edges for a neat finish.

Step 2: Create the Yo-Yo Shape

1. Sew a Running Stitch: Starting at the edge, sew a running stitch all around the circle, about 1/4 inch from the edge.
2. Pull the Thread: Gently pull the thread to gather the edges towards the center, creating a puffed Yo-Yo shape.
3. Secure the Yo-Yo: Once gathered, secure the Yo-Yo by knotting the thread. Flatten it slightly to achieve the classic Yo-Yo shape.

Tip: For an added touch, sew a small button or bead in the center of each Yo-Yo.
