I have a ton of yo-yo’s sitting around. I should put them to a good use like this!

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 love the yo-yo look. For some reason it makes me feel peaceful – is that weird? Thanks for sharing!

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!
