Yesterday you saw this
This is a yo-yo maker. It's the fast and easy way to make fabric yo-yos. You may even say that it's the cheater way. Either way, for me, it's an easier way to put together yo yo's. I did these with the intentions of making a garland. They are however still sitting in a pile on the table.
You can get these yo yo makers in different shapes too. Now the cute little heart yo you I would never be able to do without this nifty little gadget.

I would never have guessed what it was, it looked like a pie crust to me. rofl
And the heart shaped yo-yo is really nifty!!! I can't wait to see what your finished craft will be!!!!
Hi Ann, well yet a gain I have been absent for a while , I really need to get back into blogging, the thing is I miss keeping up with everyone so I am now going to try and get on line at least three times a week to keep in touch with all my favourite blogs. These little yo yo's are great though I'm not sure I would know what to do with them so I can't wait to see your finished garland. great to catch up with your other posts too. xxx
hahaa! I'm with Ann...I thought it was a pie too!! Look forward to seeing the finished product...very cool!!
i had googled these and saw they use them for decorations on pillows and other things, she put buttons in the center on the short video i watched... i like the little hearts.
Woof! Woof! Saw your post yesterday and I knew it cause my mom got one too. What a great invention. Happy Friday and enjoy making fabric flowers.
Oh cute! It totally looked like a pie to me too! LOL!
Wishing you and Duke a very happy weekend Ann!

Um, those don't look like the yo-yos I remember, but it has been a while.
that's so cool, I would never have guessed.
I thought you meant a real yo-yo! Dah. That is how crafty I am.

Wouldn't have known at all! It is a very good gadget and your yoyos will be a sweet garland.
You've got me in the mood to get out my little circle tools and make some more yo-yos! I think you've got the makings of a great patriotic table runner there. Just a thought!
I thought so! Yours look so much better than mine :)
Oh I see how you could make stuff with those...
I don't yo-yo but I DO eat pie...Any kind of pie...except mincemeat...Hahaaaa

They sure are pretty. I'd not even heard of them before, but then why would I since I'm not crafty.
Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
I must be hungry for pie because it looks like a pie (lol) until I scrolled down. I might have to get one of this cheater thing. Love those flowers.
Those are cute but I'l still craving pie! I had some yo yo's made for me and I put a button in the center and made them into flowers. They turned out pretty darn cute if I say so myself!
I am a big fan of gadgets! This one looks pretty cool!
Oh, that's spiffy. I hate making anything that requires many of them to create something larger.
LOL! Ann, don't laugh but I thought that first pic was FOOD! Very interesting doo-daa, I must say!...:)JP
O.K. when you said yo yo maker, I thought od the real yo yos, the toys with the string that go up and down. I REALLY thought you were making one! I did not know this is what they call these. And I want one if you tell me how to do it!!! We have a Michael's here. Also there is a heart one, is it harder? How easy is it? Can you post a pic of the wreath? I have seen them but forget now and would like to make one if I can master this first. Have I given you a headache yet??
I thought you meant toy yo yos! lol My son still likes yo yos. :) What do you do with these?? They are pretty!
Well --how 'bout that? It does make some cute little things.... Gotta love it, Ann.
Hugs,
Betsy
I would have never guessed it to be a yo yo maker...could be because I never heard of one :)
I wouldn't have guessed a yo yo maker. Definitely can understand how it would be helpful though.
Can't wait to see the garland completed!
That sure is a nifty little gadget! Would you believe I made hundreds of those little yo-yo's way, way back in the early eighties using many fabrics from dresses I made for the girls and other sewing projects. I probably have about a quarter of a twin size quilt made. Do you think I will ever in this life finish this project :)
I will keep an eye out for a gadget like this and maybe even get motivated again!
Cute. I've seen them, but haven't ever made any.
