   I love making yo-yo’s ut I just end up with a pile of them, I never seem to know what to do with them next.

   This is really lovely. A great way of using scraps and the result is very nice to use as decoration.

   I decorated some wrist warmers with a yo-yo each with a strawberry shaped button in the middle. They are one of my 14 year old’s favourite things.

    Great idea! I was thinking about making a christmas garland this year. I have some awesome candy cane striped yarn that I can string up a few yo yos on!

    Don’t these yoyos look great all together. I’ve been a bit obsessed with yoyos myself recently since discovering the clover yoyo makers and think a garland would look so pretty on the tree this year.

    Nice idea! I have just purchased a yoyo maker…I want to make a table cloth for everyday with yoyo’s. I’m going to buy a bundle of designer fabrics that all coordinate, since I’m sooo crummy at that and use those!

    Love this gorgeous, colorful necklace. I enjoy making yoyo’s, about the only hand sewing I do. I find your blog to be inspiring. Thanks!

    Oops – this is supposed to be a garland – it would make a great necklace too!

    Love those yo-yos. I make them often and have a few hundred made up. Use them on anything. Latest, making Christmas ornies and adding to a baby quilt to cover a few square patches that didn’t quite match up right..
