yo-yo tree H

ere’s a project from my mother, Marjorie Kellam. She’s a bit of a purist so all her trees were green. She used homespun fabrics, rusty stars, and more primitive wooden spools. But I thought it would be fun to try another color palette. An all-white tree would be dreamy, with all sorts of fabrics of different textures. It would look like a snowy tree. This is a fun project to make with children. Yoyos are fairly simple and a lot of fun to make. Let your child choose the fabric combinations and her personality will shine through. And wouldn’t Grandma like to have a sweet yo-yo tree made by her sweet grandchild? — Amy Powers
