Easy ornament idea: yo-yo Christmas tree
«

Here's an ornament you can whip up for an exchange or tree or gift decoration:
Materials:
4 small scraps of fabric
embroidery floss or strong thread
1 decorative button for the top
about 10 buttons for the "trunk"
Equipment:
round things to trace
pen or pencil
scissors
needle big enough to accommodate your floss
To Make:
don't let all the steps fool you: I work with young children, so I always break everything down into very simple steps
Trace four circles of fabric in gradually decreasing sizes. I just searched my cupboards for round things (bowls, glasses, etc.), but they ranged from about 4.25" for the large one to about 1.75" for the small one.
Follow Heather's tutorial (
http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=112640.msg1075515#msg1075515
) for making these circles into yo-yos.
Thread the needle with a 12-14" piece of floss
Starting AT THE TOP, going downward, thread the decorative button onto the floss...
then poke straight down through the center of smallest yo-yo from the top
add two buttons
poke through the 2nd smallest yo-yo (from the top)
add two buttons
poke though the 3rd yo-yo (from the top: I know, you know, but it can't hurt to repeat)
add two buttons
poke through the biggest yo-yo
add either 3-4 buttons or a combo of fat beads and buttons to make a trunk.
NOW, make a u-turn and go back UP through the bottom buttons
go back up through the BOTTOM of the last yo-yo
and the buttons on top of it
and then up through the bottom of the next yo-yo, etc.
Repeat until you get to the top decorative button.
Slide the pieces together along the floss to make sure it isn't loose anywhere.
tie a knot (a biggie if your button hole is large) and you're done!
I'll try to post pics later tonight. My friend and I are crafting today, and these are sure to be on our list.

That is so awesome, thank you! I need to make about 20 ornaments this year, and I've done some crochet and felt ones already, so this will be a nice change up!
I hit "this rocks"
