Ode to Yo-yos

Ok. So, my brother that I love so much got me a Michael's gift card for my birthday. Yay! So, I used some of it to get these tools to make fabric yo-yos. Double Yay! I have purchased yo-yos in the past from various Etsy shops, but I thought I should give it a shot myself. A quick trip to Joann's for some fat quarters of pretty fabric and I have been a yo-yo makin' fool ever since. Seriously addicting. They take a little bit of time to make, but it's quiet, alone, napping kids yo-yo making time and it has been lovely. Seriously people, if you don't yo-yo, you really should :)

As you can see below, I have made some yo-yo hair clips and you will soon see them in my Etsy shop. I used some fun feathers and my grandma's vintage button collection to fancy them up a bit. As far as Etsy goes, I'm trying to keep the same colorful fun vibe in my shop while stocking a good variety of products. It's always "in progress" but I like where these little clips are taking the shop. Chic, vintage, one of a kind, and adorable (if I do say so myself, ha ha).

This little shabby chic one is my first-ever yo-yo so Hayden gets to keep it ;)

Keep a look out for these little guys in my shop. I'm sure there will be many a yo-yo makin' nap times in my future :) Happy Monday!
