I had a bunch of left over yo-yo's so I followed Sunshines tutorial and made a yoyo clown and thought you all might enjoy a look at it. So since I don't have my own little blogspot I'm posting a picture of it here.
and here's a closeup of the face. The collar should have been larger, but I'll do that on the next one.

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging comments. He was alot of fun to make. A lampshade, hmm? I haven't seen a yo-yp lampshade tutorial out there, but then I haven't googled that. I'm working on another clown - he'll have a split hat like a "jester" or a "joker". He does feel good to hug, and that's why I'll be giving it to my grandaughter as her 1st birthday gift, along with a clown music box I found at the thrift store ---> a clown popped out of a drum, and the clown turns as the music (April Love) plays - too cute. And for all you yo-yo lovers, Sunshine has a post on a really pretty yo-yo quilt she made, hope you've seen it. |

Hey Chris,
Now stop "Clowning" around & make a lampshade next!!! lol!
Aren't yoyo's addicting? you can create "objects d' art" or use them to decorate pillows, clothing, even house slippers!
I am planning an making a tote next, but first I need to get some of my other crafting/sewing projects done before I start yet an other one...oh who am I kidding, I am always starting new projects even thou I have a sewing table full of unfinished ones! Silly me!(& luvin it!)

How cute! Great job!
The first time I learned how to make yoyos it was to make a clown doll like that. That was a loooong time ago...it's a very old antique type of toy.
Yours is adorable!

I would have never thought to use yo-yos to make a doll like that. It is gorgeous! You did a beautiful job on him. I bet he feels really good to hug, too.
Blessings, Lea
