The well-loved craft of making yo-yos - cutting circles of fabric to gather and make rosettes - is popular for many reasons. Yo yos are a perfect way to be penny-wise as they use up fabric scraps, they do not require any special tools, and they are portable and can be constructed in just a few minutes once the techinque is learned. Yo yos are used in a variety of craft projects including quilts, pillow covers, and toys, and they are perfect embellishments for scarves, hats, dresses, and shoes.
