Simple Yo Yo Headband

What to do with all this scrap fabric!?
I KNOW!!!
How about some simple fabric YoYo flowers, and an even simpler headband!
Yo Yo flowers are super simple and super pretty, here's how to...


-First pick out some fabric...

-Cut out circles, any round template will do, just make sure to cut the circle twice the size that you want your yo yo!

-Next on the wrong side of the fabric sew a seam around the perimeter of the circle, knot one end of the thread (make sure to use strong thread).

-I find it simpler to pull the thread as you go around, or you can just wait until the entire circle is finished.

-Then, pull the thread very tight and tie. You may have to press the middle in a bit to make the flower flat.

Now for the headband...
-Cut out some felt fabric circles and glue one side of the felt to the underside of the headband, and the flower to the top.

-Let it dry.


Hope you love it!
