Yo-yo Saturday! :)

Technically I didn't spend all day Saturday making yo-yo's.....but I did teach myself how and made a couple before napping in my hammock!

I raided my mom's fabric scraps for this project! :)  I printed instructions off better homes and garden's website and looked at a few other blogs before I got started. This was a fairly easy to do project, the thing is if you want bunches and bunches of them (for instance, to make a quilt) it could be a little time consuming. I enjoyed it though! Now I am on the prowl for cute fabric! I want to make a scarf and a quilt! I also want to try attaching some to headbands.


I used this plate to measure out circles. Whatever size circle you start with your yo-yo will be half that size.

 These are two of my first yo-yo's! yay! I was so excited :)


Here are some more ideas of things to make with yo-yo's. I would really like to try some of these!

Skirt!

Yo-Yo Bot! (supposed to look like a robot)

This is gorgeous!!! Love the colors!

Look closely.....the jacket on the left is made out of yo-yo's!

I like it!

I am so excited to find some cute fabric and get started!!!!

I hope everyone's Monday was beautiful despite the heat!

Smile big :)
