These are the supplies needed for your yoyo making. I just traced my tea cup saucer to paper and cut out the circle. Then pick out your fabrics. You will need regular thread, keeping in mind you need to match your fabric and threads.

I have noticed on most tutorials I have come across on yoyo making they forget to tell you to fold the fabric over a bit and then begin your stitching. That is a very important step if you plan on making the center look neat.

Work the needle all the way around the circle.

When you completed the circle you will notice your circle starts to form what look like a cupcake liner. (paper baking cups)

Or it looks like a mini bonnet when upside down.

Now you will just need to pull tightly but gentle. Pull the string until the circle closes. This is forming your yoyo. Notice if you did not fold the fabric while sewing it this is where your yoyo will look messy in the center. You can always use a button to cover the mess but for clean lines I prefer the folding in method. Trust me. You will too.

Once you have pulled tight and your yoyo has formed you will just need to make a knot in the center of the yoyo. You can hide the knot in the fabric. There is your yoyo!

Have fun!
