Yo-Yos for Misers...

[показать]Don't hate me because I'm thrifty... Did I just say "thrifty?"

Make that cheap.

I've had an idea lately for a project involving yo-yos of different sizes. Having made a few the traditional way (a bit tedious), I was eyeballing the yo-yo maker gadgets at Michaels. They have them in a few different sizes...

for twelve bucks each... HELLO!!

There must be a better, cheaper way, my friends, and I have found it!

So get out those plastic yogurt and margarine container lids, because I know you save your empties, right? Right! Here we go...

[For another project, I had used a compass to draw circles (2", 3", 4") on cardstock and cut them out. Yay! Headstart!]

[показать]
I traced a circle onto the back of a yogurt tub lid with an Ultra Fine Sharpie marker.

[показать]
Cut out the plastic circle.

[показать]
Using a single hole punch, notch out little bites of plastic at north, south, east and west on your disk. Just eyeball it; it will be fine.

[показать]
Now, make notches in between the ones you just made...

[показать]
...then notch between those notches. What we're looking for is evenly spaced notches about 1/4" to 3/8" apart. For a larger circle, you might be dividing the space between notches into thirds.

[показать]
Punch 3 or 4 holes into the centre of the disk (or as far into the disk as your punch will let you reach).

[показать]
Take some little sharp scissors and trim off those tiny sharp points of the notches so they won't catch on your fabric.

[показать]
Your yo-yo maker is finished!! Now let's make a yo-yo...

Pin through the holes to secure the fabric to the disk.

[показать]
Trim seam allowance to about 1/4" to 3/8".

[показать]
Fold the seam allowance over the notched edge of the disk with your thumb.

With a threaded, knotted needle, take a stitch through both layers of fabric in the space of one of the notches.

[показать] [показать]
Skip to the next notch space, and take another stitch.

[показать]
Continue around the disk, taking a stitch in each notch space, and end up taking another stitch in the notch space you started in.

[показать]
Push the needle through the seam allowance once again so the thread is trailing from the right side of the fabric circle.

[показать]
Put down your needle and ease the disk out of the fabric circle you just stitched.

[показать] [показать]
Gently draw up the thread, gathering the edge of the circle into a darling little pouch.

[показать] [показать]
Holding tight, take a couple tiny back stitches, pull them snug...

[показать]
... and then push the needle back through to the inside of the yo-yo to hide the thread end. Snip the thread.

[показать]
Push the gathers flat and shape the yo-yo with your fingers.

[показать] [показать]
There you go! You made a yo-yo for free!! Wasn't that fun? Yahoo for yo-yos!!
