    I am trying to make some really little yo yo's, or berries and just can't seem to get them perfect. Any suggestions??? I'll go give them a whirl.

    Make them like any yo-yo. Berries are not perfect either.

    Go to Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or JoAnn Fabrics and order the yo yo maker in extra small (they have them to Jumbo) and they come out perfect everytime, with the ends folded over. It is so simple you can make dozens an hour. I love them and they are not that expensive. If you are isolated, like I am, then you can find the yo yo maker on ebay, brand-new, and shipped right to you. Best of luck.

    Or you can do what I do and forget the yo-yos and use buttons the right size and color.

    when i was a kid about 7 i made them using a wooden spool as my template, and made one of those clowns that they make with the larger ones. i must have been crazy. maybe you can get a kid to do it for you, with tiny nimble hands. othewise, the same way only smaller.
