I like to explore the shops when I visit the beach, usually the quilt store (used to do beads until it closed) although dangerous to the pocketbook the quilt store is not fattening… Thank god! I can always find a book there or a gadget (or yes fabric to fulfill my addiction). This last time, I found a gadget, I thought was pretty cool. Knowing me it has probably been around for a while, but it is new to me! It is from Clover and called the Quick Yo-Yo Maker and you can find it on the Clover website at http://www.clover-usa.com/product/453736/8702/_/Quick_Yo-yo_Maker_%28Extra_Small%29.
I bought the extra small one just to see how well it worked. They were so right, it whips up a small yo-yos, lickety split. I think that without this I would never have tried making one this small. Of course now I need to figure out what to do with them all. But that is always a separate endeavor. My first idea is to add sparkly beads to the center and then encase in resin and make something pretty to wear. If I had a light switch mold that might be another colorful idea for resin and tiny yo-yos. I will share whatever I come up with, whenever that might be. Here is an example of what they look like. Sideline quilts on Etsy makes them by the boatload.
