YOYO WEEK {DAY 1}

CUFF BRACELETS!

First of all. What is a yoyo? I'm new to them even though they've been around for decades! But I've fallen in love. So I'm doing a YOYO WEEK with 7 different yoyo projects in 7 different days!

You dont know how to make a yoyo? Go HERE. Where you learn that the smaller the stitch the bigger the center hole, and the bigger the stitch the smaller the center hole.

I usually make about 10 stitches and then pull the needle through, like so...

I used this 5" wide yellow bowl as my pattern, and the flower ends up being a little smaller than half of you circle pattern.

Make 4 of them with small stitches and then fill the centers in with a different fabric, like this green burlap I glued in...

Attach the four yoyo flowers to a strip of felt and slightly over lap them depending on your wrist size (this is a stretchy elastic, because I was going to try and make it a stretchy bracelet, but decided against it, so use felt). Then glue a piece of fabric over the strip of felt to hold it in place.

Now glue down the overlapped yoyos.

(overlapping depending on your Wrist Size)

Front:

Now glue on velcro dots on the ends...

TADAH!

I truly love this bracelet.

And I made more...

This one's nifty...

And then I made a corsage bracelet...

so I feel like I'm at my high school prom all over again ;)

love it right?

I glued them on a bigger piece of felt and made straps for the velcro dots...

All the cuffs:

EASY?-Very!

Make them any style you'd like!

Stay tuned for day two of YOYO WEEK!
