One of the girls at work is having a birthday this week. She went rather overboard on my birthday and now I feel obligated to get her something for hers. I bought a few things and made one. This will go in to the mix of gifts I'm giving her.
I used the fabric yo yo's and attached the buttons with a piece of wire and then covered the stem part with florist tape. I painted the spool then added the paper strip that I cut from an old calendar.I stuck the bouquet of flowers in the hole of the spool and added some spanish moss then glued on a couple of fabric leaves. The center for the biggest flower is a button that I covered with fabric with a half a cotton ball stuffed in to make it puffy.

This is wonderful!!!! Wish I was talented enough to make one.
It came out really nice Ann...great job.
So clever and pretty...
You create the cutest things. I remember back in the early 1960's my mom and her friend made yo yo pillows. I love the spool as the flower holder!
so cute.. good idea on the puffy cotton ball.. and these flowers need no water.. I know she will love it...
Nice idea. I thought of tommy Smothers when I saw the title, a yo yo champion, he has that YO
I love yo yos and you put all these together so nicely. I think making them is kinda like therapy.
What a cute handmade gift! She'll love it :)
So cute. You're so talented. I wish I had some crafty bones in my body.
Have a fabulous day off. Big hugs to you and tons of scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
How adorable! Great job.
Cute as a button :)
So bright and cheery! I have flowers made out of yo yos and buttons too. I didn't make the yo yos and I had my dad's wife put on the buttons but hey, it's crafty! Lol!
That came out really cute!
