Yo-Yo Necklace or Broach

Here is what you need:

Yo-Yo makers- two sizes (med and small)

thread and needle

fabric scaps that coordinate

buttons/gems

ribbon

felt

hot glue gun

Yo-Yo’s are super easy to make.  They look great as embellishments, hair bows, and now this sweet necklace.  It took me about an hour or more to make and I think it is fun.  Hope you enjoy this tutorial.

First cut a piece of felt the shape you want your necklace to be.  Pick out your fabrics and start making your yo-yo’s. (Use instructions on yo-yo maker package, you can get this at Michael’s or Jo-Ann fabrics)

Once all your yo-yo’s are done; decide on the placement and glue with hot glue gun.  Apply gems and buttons (can do before or after glue to felt).

Then if making a necklace glue on ribbon- length is up to you.  Or glue a pin down if making as a broach or to attach to a purse as embellishment.

Glue another piece of felt on top of the first piece to hide ribbon ends.

And waa-laa your done. Put some jewelry on your bad self! 

Thanks for being my model Jackie! And yes the broach looks good
