Wreath Ornament

This ornament is one of my long time favorites from my childhood. I believe I made this in girlscouts as a youth.
1. Cut a variety of fabric into small circles.
2. Sew a strong thread up and down around the outer edges of the circle.
3. Put a cottonball in the center of the circle and pull the thread so that it draws together, closing the circle into a ball. Knot the thread.
4. With a strong thread, run the needle through the center of all of the balls and pull to bring them into a circle, tie a strong knot.
5. Tie on a bow with grograin ribbon and another string for hanging.
What an inexpensive, quick, and impressive gift!

I love the ornimaent! Thank you so much for the instructions. I use to have all hand made orniments on my tree but they were lost. I think that this one has inspired me to start again. Merry Christmas.
Love this layout. what a cute ornament too!
The ornament is lovely! I appreciate old-fashioned homemade ornaments & decorations. My tree contains many items my late grandmother made. I'll cherish them always. Thank you for sharing yours.
What you described is a stuffed yo-yo. Heather Bailey has a tutorial here.
Thanks for the link Paula. Yes, it is similar and nice to have a tutorial with it.
However, I think my circles were not 4"...they were smaller...there isn't the pleats on the front.
What a great memory. Our tree is covered with homemade ornaments from when the kids were little. They mean the most to me for sure.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas.
