Yo Yo Yo Ladies!

How's your day going? 

How's mine you ask..well not the best but I did get to make something today so that brightened up my day!

So I just needed to do something that I didn't have to think too much about and so this is what I made this morning :)

I've had these super skinny plastic headbands For..evvvv..errrrr (for all you Sandlot fans lol)

I never wear them..ever..yet I still kept them like any true hoarder crafter would do..

SO..I made up some Yo Yo Flowers ( Tutorial HERE )

With the same Polka Dotted Fabric I've been using forever

I think it's time for some new prints...Oooh a reason to go shopping...wait I don't need a reason do I?

But I digress..

I made one larger Yo Yo Flower and then two small ones to go on either side

Hot glued them to the skinny headband, threw my hair up in a messy bun like every other day and called it good.

I wear my hair up A LOT..so much so that a good friend of mine said to me yesterday as she walked up from behind me "Oh, I didn't recognize you with your hair down"..Yeah that's a problem LOL

Ugh, who has the time? Not me..or maybe I just don't really care? 

I mean, who wants to get hot glue stuck in their hair? Um..not me..it's all about safety folks :)

Close Upppppppp

The fabric has purple, blue and black polka dots so I did a button in each color on the black headband.

I'm thinking about buying some headbands and making some more of these to sell at my craft bazaars I do...they're fun to make and rather easy.

I'm thinking about hitting up the local Dollar Store and getting a 5 pack of different colors...and...I realize I am now rambling...

I'm ready for bed....LOL..if only my kids were! Can I get an Amen?!

Have a good night everyone!

Yo Yo Flowers

Yo Yo Flowers

I have seen these little cuties all over the Internet for some time now..and I wanted to try them out for myself.

Boy did I have a blast making these!

Here's how I did it:

I bought a bandanna for a $1 and used one of my kid's plastic bowls as a template.

I made sure the bandanna was upside down, then I traced & and cut the circle out.

I used a needle and thread to do this basic stitch all around the edge of the circle.  It does NOT have to be perfect.  In this picture I was only a quarter way around, but you want to go all the way.   Making sure that the underside of the bandanna was facing me..

Once you've sewn all the way around, turn it right side in, and pull the thread tight...and you get this little cutie!

I then sew the middle up a little, just for extra security.

Next I hot glued a button in the center.

Here is what my six Yo Yo Flowers look like all done...I realize this is a different pattern, the other was just an example....these too are made from a bandanna :)

You could attach hair clips to the back side and wear them in your hair, or attach them with hot glue to a head band...they could go anywhere.

Here's what I did with mine:

I bought this fake flower bouquet at the Dollar store

I pulled all the flowers off and reattached the base of the flower..as seen on the left of the picture...I just used hot glue to attach them back on.  I pick this bouquet because of the flower base..and this is why......

I hot glued the gorgeous Yo Yo Flowers right to the base and they look FANTASTIC!

I bought this vase at the Dollar Store too, and spray painted it light blue..Cute eh?!

This is so much fun, what a great gift to give to someone :)

These flowers are so easy to make, perfect for older children that can handle a needle and thread. 

If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to ask..I'd love to help you!

Have a blessed day and go make some Yo Yo Flowers.. 

all the cool people are!
