Yo-yo Door/Window Treatment

Ok so you still have a ton of yo-yos that you made when preparing for your quilt top and you are wondering what in the world are you going to do with them...  Well here is another yo-yo idea.  You can use them for a door or window treatment!

You will need the following supplies for this project:

Yo-yos of any size
Ribbon
Needle/Thread





The first step is figuring out if you are making curtain strips, a valance or a door treatment (kinda like the beads that people hang but without the noise!).  Then determine how long to make your strips of of yo-yos and ad two inches on to that number.  Then follow the steps below to finish your project:

1.  Fold down the top of the ribbon 2 inches and sew it down making a loop.  This is what you will use to hang the strip from a dowel rod or a curtain rod.

2, Start at the bottom of the ribbon and sew on the first yo-yo so that the bottom of the ribbon does not show.  You will need to sew it down in the middle and at the top and bottom as well so that it will hang correctly.

3. Once you have finished sewing your yo-yos onto the ribbon, hand the ribbon from your curtain rod.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until you have the desired amount of window or door coverage.

This is another great project to do with your kids while watching your shows or a movie.

Happy Sewing!
