I’m ready to deck the halls with holiday cheer this season and have the perfect project for you! The Yo Yo Wreath wall hanging. Not only will it use up your fabric scraps but it highlights a classic shape in the sewing world.
For anyone new to Yo Yo making, don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it. I’ll show you step by step how to create yo-yo’s in all different sizes. Then once you have the technique down, we’ll layer them altogether and create yo yo wreath wall hanging. Since this is my latest class with Annie’s Creative Studio and captured on video, you’ll be able to hit the pause and rewind button anytime you need.
The finished Yo Yo Wreath wall hanging measures 18″ x 18″ finished making it the perfect size to hang on your mantle or door during the holiday season.

How thick or deep is the wreath? I’m just wondering if it would fit on the outside of my front door without touching the storm door. That way, it won’t be as exposed to the elements and will last longer.
I’m worried that, if it touches the outer door and gets wet, it could freeze to that door and then potentially rip when somebody opens the door.

Hello Linda,
That’s a great question. My wreath is about 3/4″ – 1″ deep but that’s with a flattened bow. I’m not sure how much space is between your doors but it would fit between mine without touching.

Thanks, Heather – I have a space of just over 2″ so it will fit. Now all I need to do is surreptitiously check out my friend’s door because I want to give her one too. I hope it takes her a minute or so to open the door so she doesn’t think I’ve lost it 😉
