St. Pat's Day Ornaments

I'm happy to be joining Cuisine Kathleen for her blog crawl! (While I've been on my share of pub crawls... this is a first!)

I'm sharing Yo-Yo Clover Ornaments I made for my feather tree, they started out as yo-yo's and I shaped them into shamrocks.


Updated-I've been asked how to make them: I started with a round yo-yo and just ran string up through the center, looped it around the outer edge and back into the center, then pulled it a little snug. I did that in three spots to make the three petals of the clover. Once you do it you'll see:@)

How to make fabric yo-yo's, picture tutorial here.

It's a good use for scraps of material, and looked great on my seasonal feather tree - 🍀Happy St. Patrick's Day!
