Yo-Yos Make a Charming and Festive Tree
Get Creative with Color for Your Own Special Tree!
Yo-yos and buttons applied to foam with bead-headed pins make a lovely accent for your holiday decor. Top it off with a ribbon for a festive little tree.
A glass candleholder is used for the base in this example, however there are many other things that will work. You’ll find a lot of ideas around the house and in thrift shops.
Choose a variety of green fabrics, or mix it up. A selection of off-white fabrics will create an elegant tree while green and red will be bright and festive.

The instructions by Cindy Taylor Oates of Taylor Made Designs are for a tree that is about 9″ tall (without the base). However, you can make yours larger or smaller depending on the foam cone you choose. American Patchwork & Quilting provides the tutorial.
