Have you noticed that "YO's" are everywhere now? I mean, they've practically reached celebrity status!
We've gotten new merchandise in at work, and Yo Yo's seem to be on everything from paper clips to tea towels.
I was thinking of stitching some to polka dot flats that I have. And maybe even to an oven mitt or two. The ones here are going to be made into scrapbook embellishments. I've always been fond of the little fellers. And now, my mind is a twirl with possibilities.
To quote Laura San Giacomo in the movie, Pretty Woman, "oh yo, work it, work it". Yep. That's what I'm thinking.
You can get some here.
I have always loved yoyo's! The very name makes me smile.:)

They are SO cute & can look either very hip (I have some on shirt from Forever 21 & they actually look very cool) or sort of old fashioned.

I was so blessed to receive some in my last swap -- I adore them and have an old yoyo quilt top made of vintage fabrics -- so delightful Kathy - ga ♥

i have always thought yo yo's were cute...but had no earthly idea what to do with them...i like your ideas...esp the oven mitt one...of course, i would have to buy new oven mitts first...my current set started melting when i pulled something out of the oven last week...they are so NOT yo yo worthy!!! LOL:)

cindy,
I just love these cutie pies!!! What is it about them?? Can i figure out how to make them? no. BUT. I did find a Yo-yo maker at Michaels. I came really, really close, but they can't be hard to make, I'm sure. Even for us sewing-challenged types.

If you see a girl with a yoyos on her shoes- that'll be me, thanks for the great idea!

I consider myself a yoyo fanatic, and I love the way you photographed them in a bowl. I've never considered yoyo's on shoes, but you are so clever I know they will look great!
