Process photos of a Yo-Yos or what I like to call Posies- Cut a square, fold square in half, fold in half again, take scissors and cut the raw edge in a half circle shape from corner to opposite corner, Now you have a circle, turn down a 1/4 inch on the edges and stitch around the circle catching the folded edge, when you pull it tight you get a yo-yo. (note I am not one for exact measurements- there are methods to making an exact yo-yo I am sure you can find lots on the web)
I will be applying these posies to the quilt I have been working on all week.
My other side project that has been in work are using these playing cards to make Christmas ornaments. I am just beginning to experiment with this. I covered with gesso and white acrylic,then decided to use paper to cover it instead.
love your blue kitty with the crown! xo L.

ReplyDeleteMy mom is ADDICTED to yo-yos. She's made my sister and I so many yo-yo pieces I can't even count them! She finds it very theraputic. I love the cards!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of them! It is definitely a rhythm making yo-yos.
