I love to make yo yos. What do you all use them for?
I have just started making yo-yo's now that they have the yo-yo makers to hold the fabric. Since I had a thumb fused and a bone removed from my dominant hand, these templates have been wonderful.
I'm making them out of taffeta and chiffon and all sorts of fabrics. The taffeta ones are turning out beautifully!" I'm stacking two size together with a really dressy button in the middle and they will become either brooches, pins or decorations for purses. I'm loving it! The oval ones are really cool too! I made an oval one out of cotton and used it to decorate a basket block and used a dragonfly button in the center of it. Too cute!
You can use smaller ones to decorate headbands or hair clips.
