Mini Yoyo Wreath

There’s something so charming about tiny yoyos—simple to make, wonderfully scrappy, and perfect for turning favourite Liberty prints into sweet little keepsakes. This Mini Yoyo Wreath is a delightful quick‑make that comes together from just a handful of fabric scraps and a few easy stitches. Whether you choose soft florals or festive reds and greens, it makes a lovely handmade gift for Mother’s Day, Christmas, or any occasion that calls for a thoughtful touch.

Materials List

• Small Liberty fabric scraps (or any lightweight cotton)

• Clover Yo‑Yo Maker (Small or Extra Small size)

• Coordinating thread

• Needle

• Small embroidery scissors

• Ribbon or twine for hanging

• Felt bow for embellishing (optional)

• Hot glue or craft glue (optional, for attaching bow)

• metal or wooden ring (approximately 4-5 inches in diameter)

I made 10 small yoyo’s using a Clover Yoyo Maker (size small – 30 mm) from a variety of Liberty prints in pinks, blues, and lilac. I love the yoyo maker – it gives a nice consistent result when making lots of yoyo’s and is really easy to use. Liberty Tana Lawn is perfect for making small yoyos as the fabric is really soft and gathers us beautifully.

How to Assemble Your Mini Yoyo Wreath

To turn your yoyos into a sweet little wreath, you can use a small metal ring or embroidery hoop—but a simple cardstock ring works beautifully too. I traced a 3.5‑inch circle onto card, cut it out, then removed the centre to leave a neat ⅜‑inch border. Because the yoyos are so lightweight, the card provides plenty of support. I tacked each yoyo in place with a few small stitches, then added a felt bow and a ribbon loop at the top for hanging. If you prefer a no‑sew finish, hot glue works just as well.

In the photo below you can just make out the cardboard ring under the yoyo’s, but it is not visible when it is hanging up. I made the felt bow using gorgeous 100% Merino Wool Felt.

This is a fun project to use your small Liberty scraps, or any other small scale printed cotton fabric.

Mini Yoyo Wreaths would look sweet hanging on a door or door handle. I plan to make some more in Christmas fabrics to decorate my home for the holidays.
