One of the nice things about making yo-yo's without a yo-yo maker is that you can make them in any size you want. Here I scaled down the fabric yo-yo to make a delicate bracelet. This is a simple project that you can make in one day. Simple directions below.

If you're not familiar with making fabric yo-yo's, take a look at this
tutorial.

For the bracelet, I used yo-yo's that were just about the size of a quarter. To make a fabric yo-yo this size you will want to start off with a circle 2 1/8" in diameter. I used eight yo-yo's for my bracelet but it all depends on the circumference of your wrist.

Sew a button on the top of all the yo-yo's.

Sew the yo-yo's with a
whip stitch with right sides facing together. Keep adding on a yo-yo till you get the desired length.

On the last yo-yo, sew a small piece of embroidery thread onto the back of the yo-yo. This will be your clasp. Make sure the loop will fit over the button well.

Here's what the front of it should look like.

The clasp on the right will hook over the pink button on the left to secure. Done.
You never fail!
ReplyDeleteYou really should write a book!
You are SO creative!
lovely! the pastel buttons are just so perfect with the white yoyos...
ReplyDeleteIt really is beautiful and delicate. I think I would wear one of these if I replaced the buttons with rhinestones. I think I'll have to give it a go :D
ReplyDeleteAnother darling project! I can see one made with black material and turquoise buttons in my future. My Daughter will prefer your color choices! You have given us so many wonderful projects, things I will be doing with my Daughter this summer! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteAre you reading my mind? O kist got a new bucket of buttons and my mom picked out these pumpkin colored ones and said "can you make me a bracelet with these?" and now here it is! This is so cute! Thanks! (p.s. giveaways are addictive, but I never win, so winning one was soo exciting!)
