I love yo-yo's!! I fell in love with the flower yo-yo and just started making them from my scrap fabric. You can do anything with these!
Here's how I whipped up this coaster.
What you need is a flower yo-yo maker and some scrap fabric.
- Make 9 "flowers"
- and then bar tack them together at the petals (look closely in this photo)
If you don't have a bartack setting on your sewing machine, than just wip them together by hand.
There yo-yo have it! The cutest little coaster ever!

Those are too cute. What is the difference b/t a regular yo-yo and your flower ones? Is it just in how it is folded? (Remember, I am not a sewer!) :)Thinking of maybe making this for my neice, she would love it!!

That is so cute and easy. I've been going to get out my yoyo maker and make some but it seems to not happen. One day I will...hopefully. I have good intentions though.

I've never made yo-yos - I may have to add it to my to-do list. Which is increasing in length with each crafty blog post I read!
