I'm making basket blocks for my mom and the yo-yo's will be the flowers in the baskets.

they are great for flowers on quilts just use one for the flower with a button for the center -- and they make great pillows for bed decor or sofa--flowers on clothing or totes or purses. headbands just sew the length you want encase some elestic and join to each end of yoyo strip can also put buttons on the middle of each yoyo. can put some on hats too.make cute pins for on a tee shirt to dress it up. great to make pnicushions, xmas tree ornaments, well there is a few ideas and the others ones already listed but the list can go on and on.

I love the turtle idea. DIL loves turtle and that has stirred up a lot of ideas for her. Thanks

This is the inspiration for my newest too! Lap size and yo-yo's on every other row. Mine should be done this weekend.

You can make so many different things with yoyo's. They make pretty flowers with a button in the middle, a table runner or plate mats, Put them on blouses, vest or make a wall hanging, You can google Yoyo's and you will find ideas. DO NOT TROW THEM AWAY.

I've got tons of yo-yo's made, different sizes. It's a great travel project, DH was recently in hosp for 4 wks, starts chemo next week, so I made lots of them! I've seen them on quilts, pillows, blouses, handbags, and I've made table runners/toppers with them.

about 30 yrs ago, on my 2 week vacation, i made a slew of them and made a queen sized quilt. also, coasters, hot pads, magnets, toys, whne i was 7 and probbly had some sort of brain damage,(lol) i traced around a wooden spool and made a bunch of them to make a clown ( like the big ones you see), he was about 4" tall when done. i wish i had him now, would make a cute pin or ornament. i make ornaments out of them, use them for centers and add alot of dimensin to thigs. I made turtlerouge a turtle picusion out of them also
