I am thankful for the Clover Yo-yo Maker. I used six heart, large yo-yos and one extra-large yo-yo. Felt is key because I was able to make the rest of the body parts. You will need googly eyes, the trusty glue gun, and a pair of sharp scissors. I used my short, stubby, thumb for a pattern when making the face and neck. The legs are very fragile, and I am not sure they are needed? Don't forget the ribbon, if you want to make napkin rings. I love napkin rings and of course that is what I turned them into for Thanksgiving.
This picture shows how to layer the hearts so that they will overlap. Don't be afraid to combine fabric for visual texture. Notice how the fabrics all have one common element? Keep that in mind when selecting fabrics.
Also, this project is a bit tedious, but manageable. If you want to make these ready for your Thanksgiving dinner table, then start making them now! When Thanksgiving gets a bit closer, I will post a picture of my table using these napkin rings. Also, check out my flickr page for more interesting yo-yo ideas. Most of the really great ideas I have already shared on this blog.

This is so cute!
I love those!!! I showed my granddaughter's these and hopefully their mom will help them with the heart yo-yo as they are a little harder to do.
So, so cute!!!

Oh wow! I wish I could learn to do these, I don't have money for patterns, but have lots of scraps from over the years of sewing.
