Good Morning Everyone! Can someone please tell me how you make Yo-Yo's?
Thanks |
Oh Honey - get the Clover device - You'll love it!!!!
http://www.clover-usa.com/products/268066/Yo-Yo_Makers I have a collection going and it's so mindless and portable you can do it anywhere under any circumstance! |
I just ordered one of those....I hope I like it
|
cut a circle (say 2" circle) stitch a running basting stitch 1/4" around the circle. pull the threads holding your finger (or a washer/plastic circle...)inside. pull the threads to gather so your raw edges gather in the center. tie off.
they can be used gather up, or gather down, with a button in the center, just the gather, sky's the limit... have fun |
I've never heard of that, where can you get it, JoAnn's?

Where and how do you use your yo yo"s? I made a boo boo on my 2yr old grandchilds quilt on the lower right back corner so when I add my label I thought I would add a yo yo or two to help cover up my boo boo.

I haven't used my collection yet. I have about a shoebox worth. I make them to keep my hands busy when watching tv, when I want to sit at lunch at work and play or when sitting in doctor offices or hospitals. It really does help. I keep the kit of 5" charms, the tool, scissors, hand thread, and needles in a medium size makeup bag. I usually leave the kit in my car. I've seen them tacked together on the edges and used like a doily. That may be my first project with them. |
I guess I could make them any size couldn't I?

If you just want to make a few ---- take an old CD or DVD and trace around it for a perfect circle. If you use starch --- go lightly with it so the yo-yo will gather easily.
