What is a Yo Yo?
A Yo Yo is a cut out a circle of fabric that is gathered together around the edges with thread and pulled tight to make a tight circle.
Using Yo Yos for Holiday Decorations
I have seen Yo Yo's since I was a little kid. I do recall that either I or one of my kids had one of the clowns made from the Yo Yo's.
I have been saving Yo Yo ideas from Pinterest for a year. I have decided to make the Yo Yo projects for Christmas. Some of the Yo Yo projects have “Christmas Colors” and others have colors that my friends and family like.

I made my own templates for the Sakura type ornaments
Using a CD for the larger circle, to make it bigger as they used two smaller circles. Bigger circles for little hands. For very small children just use the two larger circles of different colors.
For older kids use one of the smaller circles for the inside and one larger circle for the front and one larger circle for the back.

Dozens of Easy Felt Ornaments – FREE Patterns
Dozens and Dozens of Christmas ornaments. I work year round on my projects so that they will be done in plenty of time to ship to family and friends who live out of my state. I never know when I will not be well enough to work some days so I pace myself and give myself at least two or more months to finish projects before the holiday or birthday or whatever occasion the item will be for that person.

Candy cane on simple basket
Easy basket made from a flat sheet of green plastic canvas attached is a cylinder with a circle at the bottom attached. The other designs were completed before the circle was added to the bottom. The other parts of the basket in these photos.
The handle was designed to look like little Christmas trees added after everything was completed.
Pattern basic for a basket use this as a guide for a basket and decorate with your stitches of your own design this one happens to be for Halloween. I used these measurements for basic small basket. A larger basket the size I made requires a full sheet of plastic canvas from the cylinder part of the basket. see below for photo instructions for the larger basket.
basic larger basket from freepatterns.com this one was from the kitchen section of the plastic canvas patterns.
A full sheet of plastic canvas is about 10 - 1/2 inches by 13 -1/2 inches. Standard size canvas is size 7 which is seven holes per inch. The larger basket is 136 holes which equals about 9 inches in diameter. The pattern calls for a premade 9inch plastic canvas Circle.

Photo of me working on the Holly leaves. I usually have to take off my glasses when I'm sewing stitches for all my craft projects.
pattern for different holly leaves
I made this pattern to make each holly leaf look different.
Holly berries pattern idea I used, this one also as a soldier.
I had some variegated green and completed stitches in various spots, added more stitches in other colors green yard that I had to give this look to the holly leaves. I get the same for the Berry, as I used two or three different shades of red yard.
