I have a ton of yo-yo’s sitting around. I should put them to a good use like this!
cute! cute! cute!
Oh I’m so adicted to making these!
People are always so impressed with the little badges I make, I have not the heart or inclination to tell how easy they are to make.
I just added vintage yoyos to a shirt, and it looks fabulous. I don’t know the first thing about making them, though.
I’m making one asap!
I love the yo-yo look. For some reason it makes me feel peaceful – is that weird? Thanks for sharing!

having bad flashbacks to my great aunt showing me how to make these and make these and make these…thank you
having bad flashbacks to Angela’s “fleurchons” & Jubilee Jumbles on PR.
i’ve always wondered how to make these. i’m going to go bet a yoyo maker tomorrow! how sweet!
This is a thecnique tipical of Brazil.
Here, we call it FUXICO.
OOooooohhh, how beautiful! It reminds me of my great-grandmothers quilting. She is the Shorty in Pop + Shorty!
My mother used to make these yoyo’s all the time when i was a child. I have always been looking for a way to bring them up to date. Well done! I also think if they were done all in the same color and pattern with a contrasting color behind…they would look fab!
