I use them to make flowers on my quilt. Put a button in the middle and add stem and leaves. :P

Ha-ha, Funny you should ask about yo-yo's.
I just finished making 120 for a "Fons & Porter quilt, I made. It's an Irish Chain called " Essentially Irish-Elements" The yo-yo's are appliqued in the center blocks with leaves. I have the quilt finished, all hand quilted. Now to put on the yo-yo's. This will be my Summer project when it is too hot to work in the flower garden. I can be inside where it is cool. We are expecting temps in the triple digits this next week. (((HUGS))) |
My cousin made a lovely vest out of yo-yos. She said it took a long time (and she's a petite lady) but it was worth the effort.

They are so pretty sewn together.Make a smaller project if you don't want to make a million of them.lol. Make a table runner it could be tappered to a point on the ends or a round one or octagon whatever shape. also I seen some really cute vests and tote bags.pillows are cute too. Good luck please post whatever you end up making. MARY

If you put a metal bottle cap inside the yoyo before drawing it closed you can then sew these together to make a really durable and cute hot pad. I just remembered making a bunch of these. Mary
