And that’s what I used to make these:
Use hot glue to attach some yo-yo’s to the front of a blank card. I attached some ribbon first for some added color.
You could also attach a yo-yo to a paper clip to use in your office to bundle papers or you can use one as a book mark.
Or you can add some to your favorite black dress.
Or a shirt, or a purse, or anything else you think of.
Fun splash of color.
Hi, I’m Ashley—the DIY-enthusiast behind this crazy blog!
I really liked the ideas and your photos on using the yo-yo’s.
Just about everything I make I put yo-y’s on.

Hiya…. love your sight! I just found it the other day.
The link to making the little circle things is broken. Could you please tell me how to do it? Or post another link to a different tutorial??
Thanks!! Sari
I love this idea..especially on the envelope and shirt..very cute!
Hey Ashley. I don’t know if you remember us, but we were in the 17th ward back in the day. Anyway, I found your blog through Kenzie’s blog. I love all of your ideas! I’m not creative enough to think of my own things, so I’m glad I found your blog. Hope all is going good with you guys!
Cute idea!
Do you eventually put all these new ideas on your side bar? I would LOVE to do them…but dont have time now.
Do you have a tutorial for a diaper bag? I’ve been dying to make one and I haven’t seen exactly what I want.
I love the yo yo’s~ I saw them last week at Joann’s was so tempted to by them but a little more than I wanted to spend! I am glad I didn’t by then now!! I can’t wait to make some with all the extra fabric scraps. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful craftiness!!
That is super cute Ash, and I think I might even be able to do that one. :) I love how it looks on your dress!
