I'm a Yo-Yo Maniac!

Can you tell what I've been doing? I love yo-yo's. I have always loved the look of yo-yo's used on layouts and projects but I never knew how or learned how to make them. Everyone kept saying they were so easy but anything that involves a needle and thread??? Not so easy for me! I mean, I have a hard time sewing buttons on my husband's shirts!

That is until I started this fabulous class at Get It Scrapped!

I have to be honest! Just the picture alone made me want to take this class...just look at those bright colors and fun embellishments! I finally learned how to make yo-yo's! So that was what I was doing while watching my DVR of American Idol! Yes, hubby looked at me a little strange when I sat down with my circles of fabric, a needle and thread! My daughter just shook her head and said, "Mom....uh no" as if to say 'save yourself!'. However, when all is said and done, I had this beautiful stash of bright colorful yo-yo's that are now positioned on my scrap table in a cute little bin, ready to be used on any layout! And now I'm addicted! I can't seem to stop making these little things!

However, today is a new lesson! Now we're moving on to felt! Yikes, there goes the housework!

Have a great weekend and don't forget to come back on Monday for this week's ScrapTiffany challenge....I can't wait to show you what I'm working on!

  3. Oh, man. When I read yo-yo, I thought you meant the kind in the Toy Department ... with the loop at the end of a long string!

    Shows you I'm always learning something around you! The yo-yos you made are darling! Awesome that you handcrafted them yourself. Great job, girl!
