~Sewing Project: How to Make a Yo-Yo~

After making the yo-yo necklace I decided to do a post on how to make them. :)


First, cut a circle 4in. in diameter out of paper for your pattern. I used a 4in. for the big yo-yos and a 3in. circle for the smaller yo-yos. Next, cut out a circle from your fabric with your pattern. Sew all around the circle leave the end long enough so that you can pull it.

Next, pull both ends at the SAME time to gather the circle up (as shown in the picture below).

When it is all gathered flatten and pull the edges of the yo-yo.

Then just add a button and you're all finished!!
