What to do with those Yo-Yo's!

So if you read my earlier post I showed you how to make fabric Yo-Yo's.

And if you need instructions on how to make the Yo-Yo's....click here http://textiletrolley.blogspot.com/2013/03/easy-sewing-project-how-to-make-yo-yo.html


As promised here are some more ideas on how to use your Yo-Yo's

Bookmarks!
I'll show you a tutorial to make the full bookmark in a later post.

Key Fobs!  Just fold a piece of thick grosgrain ribbon in half, insert a key ring and stitch together near the end.  Then insert it between your Yo-Yos before you stitch them all together.

Greetings cards.  I stuck this on with pretty strong glue that works for fabric and paper

Cluster them together to adorn a bag.  They would look great on an evening clutch to add some pop to your whole look

Perfect on a jean jacket solo or clustered together

The list goes on....here are a few other ideas that I didn't have time to put together...

-  String them together to make a garland to decorate a Christmas tree or your walls
-  Fabric art - use them as flowers on a canvas and decorate with leaves, stems etc
   similar to the card I made but on a larger scale....now that's a cheap way to add art to
   a room
-  attach to the top of a glass jar to make storage pretty...or cover a coffee tin with fabric
   and attach the Yo-Yo to the fabric
-  Small Yo-Yo's could cover the outside of a picture frame
-  Attach to a headband or barrette
-  Attach to a simple chain necklace, maybe 3 in a row hanging slightly to the side of
   centre.
-  Party up a simple pair of white sneakers (Children only please ;o)
