My two little buttons have morphed and this is what they became.
The blue one became the middle of a yo-yo which I trimmed with a little ric-rac. I think it looks quite olde worlde, vintage like . Nice simple touch to add to a t-shirt.
The little burgundy red button became the centre of an embelishment for a 'sometime soon project' (is this an SSP as opposed to WIP? ) of a summer hat - for me. I just can't decide whether to make this one or this one. (Decision making is definitely not my strong point.) Is it greedy to make/have both?
I like the effect of nesting two yo-yo's together, it makes them look a bit flower like. (The fabrics are these)
Thinking about it, yo-yo brooches would probably be a great thnig to make to sell at a craft fair. They've got that kind of 'folksy' charm about them, making a fantastic addition to a 'crafty' outfit and they'd not be too expensive to make. Use up lots of odd and ends of fabric too.
If you want a tutorial for making yo-yo's then you probably can't do better than this. . (I think Marmadaisy said that in her hat 'recipe' too and whenever two blogers agree well, you have to check it out don't you?.)
