One of my New Years resolutions is to find more ways to reduce waste and be more green. Not only is this good for the planet, it can be good for the wallet, too.
Crafting green is really pretty easy. Many crafts can be made from scraps and common household items that are normally destined for the trash. One such craft is making yo-yos. Yo-yos have been used for making quilts, pillows, and decorative pins for scarves, lapels, and purses. They are no more than a small piece of fabric cut into a circle and gathered around the edges with needle and thread. Simple, yes, but they can be used in so many beautiful ways.
The picture of the holiday pin came from the website of fabric and lifestyle designer, Heather Bailey. She has an excellent tutorial on making yo-yos. She shows photos of actual photos of the process, not just a drawing. Good pictures are great for people like me who need to see to learn.
So, it looks like yo-yos will be my project this week. I can't wait to see what I can some up with!
Happy crafting!
Ann
