YAY! We're up and running again. Did anyone else about have a heart attack when blogger quit? No? Me neither.
anyway...
I saw these yoyo thumbtacks at the Pottery Barn and fell.in.love.
What great vintage vibes flow from these mini cutenesses. But, alas, I'm in no need of thumbtacks. Magnets it is...

So I started out by cutting 20 different circles with 20 different fabric scraps. The cut pieces came out to be about 3 and 3/4"

I did a big stitch this time, unlike DAY 1's smaller stitching.

They came out to be about the size of a thread roll top.

Then glue magnets on the back! (or thumbtacks :)

Then thoroughly enjoy your vintagey fridge, or locker, or in my case, for the photoshoot, a serving tray:

Cheap {virtually free} and SO easy.
Come Back Tomorrow for YOYO WEEK {Day 3}

Cute! I've done these before too and you can even put the magnet inside of the yoyo so that you don't see the magnet on the back - it's all enclosed inside the yoyo. :)
Those are cute! I am featuring these and the bracelets and giving a shout out to your yo-yo week at somedaycrafts.blgospot.com.
check out my yo-yos...

This is so awesome. Yo-yos are so easy to make, but I have to stop myslf making more before i have an idea of what to do with them. But this is a great idea, looking forward to the rest of the week
Love this idea! These would be perfect for my desk at work :)
