I love Yo-Yo's! My grandmother made a Yo-Yo bedspread once, I was always intriqued by it as a kid. But I have never seen heart shaped ones!
My mom just found different sized tools to make Yo-Yo's. She isn't sure if it is any quicker?
Are you going to have a limit of gals to sign up?

Hi Julia and Michelle! Thanks for the interest. Yo-yos are the best. Julia, I wouldn't do it without the tools. I made an entire coverlet and I got so I could just hammer them out like nobody's business. I've only used the heart shaped one a couple of times. Using the tool keeps them uniform in shape as well. Right now, I'll say there's no limit, but we'll re-evaluate that if we get lots of ladies signed up. Happy day~

I have the round Clover yo-yo maker. Guess I will have to search out the heart one now too! Is it as easy to use as the circle?

I bought my heart shaped one at Michaels or JoAnn's and see them all the time. I think it's a little harder than the circles cuz you have to make a little cut when it's in the plastic -- but I've only done a couple, so haven't had a chance to get in the groove with it. It's an adventure!

This is probably a silly question but do we sew a button in the center of the yo-yo?

Good good question Star! Let's not sew on any buttons. That gives every body lots flexibility in what they do with them.

A yo yo doll is one that is made up of fabric yo yo's strung to make arms, torso and legs. The head might be fabric or plastic. When I was a kid, my great aunt made me a clown one -- it's face was plastic sewn on to a fabric hat.

Karen, I think that I would like to try this, I make yoyo's and I have the heart template, and have practiced with it. So sign me up, guess I need to get started. My husband goes to therapy 3 days a week, and I sit at wait, I take a project and work on, so this will give me something to work on. I have about 300 yoyo's and continue to work on them from time to time, so I don't get bored. one day I can make me a coverlet for my guest bed. Happy days!

I think I need to withdraw from this one. Around here I can't find the large Clover heart template and I can't see paying $7 shipping if I order it from Joann's or Michael's. I have the small one, but to me you can't really tell it is a heart 'cause it is soooo small. I'll keep my eyes open and hopefully have one for next time. Have fun!
Have a good day!

Only size I have. Please let me know. I've made 47 so far. finish size is 1 1/2 by 1 1/2.

Debra, can you email me a picture of one of the hearts you made where you gathered it. I did not know it made a difference on what size heart we made. My hearts will be a bit bigger than a traditional round yo yo, I have about 40 cut out just have not yet tried to make one:-)
Thank you,
Debbie |
