Sweet! These crafts are so cute. Somehow I missed your episode 4 newsletter. Thank goodness for Facebook. I don’t want to miss a show.
i love yoyo,s just showed my daughter how to make them.
thanks girls love you guys
I have made a queen size bedspread using yoyos. I love it and now since I saw you little video will make a pillow to go with it.
Wow Pat! I can only imagine how long it took to make a queen size bedspread – I bet it is gorgeous!

Wow, I use to make these as a child.. I do have a yoyo maker somewhere in my craft room I would have to dig it out..

Thanks for another fun video..

I love how you used the yo yo’s on the pillow with the beautiful fabric background. That was very creative. I am going to give this a try too! Thanks girls!
I love making yo yo flowers, they are so fun! Never thought to add them to a necklace though. Great idea!!
Such good ideas. Now I have something to do in the car when I am waiting in the car during piano lessons.
Love the necklace with the yoyo’s. I got one as a gift from a USA friend and LOVE that one
Going to try to make my own as well. Thanks
Can’t wait until the next episode with the purses. I have been wanting to do a vintage fabric purse with vintage lace and these yo yo’s . How soon is the next one….?
Such a fun way to dressup a plain t-shirt into something special!
I’ve always thought they were pretty, but never ever made any myself (yo yo’s, I mean). Now it’s definitely something I could do. It looks so easy.
The method reminds me of the way I do ‘meeblings’.. it’s actually the exact same process. I just use faux fur fabric and put stuffing in. ;P it’s on my website, if you want to see…
these are great….. Thank you again…. I am thinking with some nice christmas fabric you can create some really nice ornaments for the tree,.
I love yo yos I usually use them on kids clothing….I recently made my great neice a adorabel lilttel reversible jumper and made a flower out of 3 different sized coordinateing print fabrics as embelishments for the shoulders…It was so cute and I got so many compliments on the jumper. So glad you all chose to share the yo yo makeing with everyone. It is so easy and looks so good and is so cheap to make with just scraps.

Hi Twins. Great show. I could see using some yoyo’s to liven up a beach tote, maybe some giant sized ones in loud colors, and also on the beach thongs.
A great way to use up all those scraps of leftover fabric. I think I will be adding some yo yo flowers to my hats… and I make a few yo yo dolls.
I did not know how easy it was to make fancy yo-yo. It will be a fun project for christmas decoration and decorating my girls room. Will post pictures within two weeks.
I am going to ad them to my bland craft shopping bags
Thanks. The possibilities are endless! Thanks again for sharing.
These are neat I have used these in the past several years ago but they are fun to see again and spark the imagination, if you add a little batting to them they puff out nicely and have a neat texture too.
Love yo yo’s. They are so easy to make.
Love it! They always seemed a bit scarry…but I think I’ll give it a try!
I just love yo-yo’s they are so fun to make and the possibilities are endless! Thank you for even more ideas today!
Thanks for this idea. My granddaughters love to sew and they are going to Oregon next week for a few days to see their Great Gram. I think I’ll cut some of these out and send all the “fixins” with them on their trip.
So cute…and easy to make! Thanks for the great ideas.
Thanks for the idea to use yo-yo again. I haven’t done them in years and I think this would really add to some of the outfits I make for my grandaughter.
Totally doing the headband for my daughter! Thanks girls!
Ladies -
These are just beautiful and thank you for the tutorial. I had seen these years ago but never made them. You have turned them into little works of art.

I love when “old” crafts come back into style! Your fabric choices are great, LOVE those graphic designs! I have a yo-yo doll blanket I made as a kid somewhere!?
I love yo-yos. My friend had a bag of yo-yos her mother gave her that are over 40 years old. She shared a few with me when my sister was recovering from heart surgery at my home and we made two little pillows for my cottage/shabby chic guest room. I will try and share a picture soon.
Love those pillows! Beautiful fabric! I love the choice of buttons for the centers of the yo-yo’s too!
Yo-Yo’s are fun. I have some from my Mother I’ll need to dig up and finish. Another great show. Thank You
All I can tell you ladies….is My Yo Yo Maker’s by Clover…are the BEST!! They are Easy…Fast…and Foolproof EVERY Time!! I didn’t care much for the old fashion way..never made them myself but when I found that GREAT notion I was all over it!! Just wanted to give you all another way to have fun with making yo yo’s
“Yo” (LOL)! I love the necklace and the pillows…so clever!
love your show. off to youcanmakethis.com. can’t wait for next week! thanks.
Excellent again Ladies – look forward to next week – I get excited when I get your email and know there is some great stuff to see! I wanted to ask about the banner you have hanging behind you – are you going to maybe to that as a project in an upcoming show?
Endless possibilities – and they are so simple!
Thanks again gals!!
Love it, love it, love it. I recently bought the Clover yo-yo makers as well but needed a push to start creating. You just gave it to me. Love the jewelry idea. See you next week!!!
I love yo-yos. I make hot pads by putting a bottle cap in the center of a yo-yo, then sew them together. Love your shows
Another fantastic idea for my creative juices to get going! Love the fabrics that you used. You are such a treat to watch. You should be on TV!!
(teeheehee).
Love the sample ideas, ladies. Very pretty and so easy to do!
Glad to see yoyos making a comeback!! I have always liked them! Loved the cute fabrics that you used!

Last year I made my daughter (she’s away at college) a shower curtain using yo-yos and ruffles. It’s really cute. She’s gotten a lot of compliments on it. I used bright colored different sized yo-yos and layers of ruffles on a white shower curtain.
How fun to see how easy it is to make yo-yos! Right now I’m making backpacks for Humanitarian. I thought it would be fun to make some backpacks for my cute little granddaughters for Christmas. I think some yo-yos on their backpacks will be darling! Thanks for the tutorial!
The pillows are gorgeous. Love the ideas.
I love the cards. You two are so creative.
Love it! I absolutely cannot sit still without something to do. This would be a great thing to do while waiting in the carpool line at my kids’ school!
Love your show on Yo Yo’s!
I missed your last episode too! I wonder what went wrong? I thought that there was a long break…
Love the yo yo and all of the ideas! I need to make me some!
I enjoyed your yo-yo episode. Just wanted you to know that I have a yo-yo throw that was started by my Mother many years ago and then I finished it after I married. All you do is make yo-yos with your scrap fabric and then tack the edges together until you get your desired size of throw. The throw is for decoration instead of functional use. Beautiful across the end of your bed or displayed on a quit stand.
I Like very very much yo yo’s this is very nice creativity
I do like those yo yo’s. It is just the thing to do while watching TV. Kaye
Thanks so much for such a fun video and for reminding me of this fun craft. I used to make them with my grandmother when I was little and excited to incorporate them into my crafts now. Hope you have a great Thursday!
Hi twins, cute as button these yo-yo’s for everything like hats, bags, pillows, hairpeices and so much more. Great idea! Thanks, Susan -NJ
Again Thank you for a new craft
Hi Twins, Thanks for giving me something to do while i’m watching the news everyday! The YOO YOO’s are so much fun to create.
always was curious about the yoyo, now I’m wondering how to make the dolls;o)
These are awesome…thanks for sharing with us
LOVE these!
I love these, and what you can do with them. So great.
I just put these on a purse, they are so easy… thanks.
I’ve never made a craft in my life….but want to do homemade gifts for Christmas.
I am currently on bed rest- and this will be something I am going to do- thank you- I love the step by step instructions….this looks like something even I can do!!!
My daughter & I are going to make some of these. Thanks for sharing!

DEAR Pat Triska,
How in the world does one make a breadspread from yo-yos. I’d be very interested in learning about this. I can just imagine how beautiful they would be!

You are very talented. I love these and actually looked it up to use on some new craft projects of my own. Thanks!
Great episode, haven’t seen one yet that I haven’t loved!!
I found a clown made with yo yos sewn together for the arms and legs in bright fabric.
