I used my Spellbinders Circle die in size 3 3/4 inches to make the Yo Yo's, but you could use a small cup saucer to draw around on your fabric, I forgot to write down what the size was after making the Yo Yo's but they were under 2 inches. I also used different buttons too, a few of them are the same type but I tried using different ones.
Here is a closeup.
My friend really liked it for her birthday present, now I am thinking of making myself one, but this time I may just cut out some leaves out of felt with my dies and hope they would do ok through a washing :)
Thanks so much for stopping by today, I really appreciate it,
Connie

What a great project! Such a fun use of the yo yos!
How pretty, Connie! I especially like that you have included the buttons and leaves for visual interest! I did not know you could make yoyos from circles! DUH - I've never made any - so will YouTube search and see how it is done. Love your pretty home decor project! Hope you are enjoying a wonderful week! hugs, de
Beautiful work Connie!! Love your addition of buttons and leaves~

That's so beautiful! Don't you love when your crafts collide? This is so pretty, as pretty as hers....looks like she hasn't blogged since 2010....bummer. I wish I could work with fabrics....not my forte! So glad you shared this here, it really is beautiful!
That looks very good ...
All the best Jan
It's 100% okay that you shared the project you made, Connie! So cute! I used to make things with the fabric yo yo's, but it's so cool that you were able to die cut them! Probably much faster and more accurate than using a pattern guide. Love the buttons and the leaves. This is just darling!
This is so cute, Connie! I love it! Yo yos are so much fun to make!
Have a lovely day!
well have never heard of yo-yos I thought they were a toy on a bit of string winding up and down :D perhaps it is the similar shapes makes you wonder why they are called yo-yos, doesn't it?? Bit it is a very pretty mat though and very clever of you to have attempted it Connie!
Thanks so much for sharing.

That's beautiful Connie! I have never made anything with the yo-yo's, it looks like a lot of fun. You should definitely make one for yourself.
Connie, I love this! Boy I've missed a lot in the past 2 weeks.....this sure looks like a fun project. Hope you post the one you make for yourself!

What a lovely yo-yo creation! I once made a small table runner out of yo-yo's - still using it in my primitive decor!!
