It is extremely easy to make: it can be created out of fabric leftovers, doesn't require more tools than scissors, a sewing needle and a thread. Yo-yos come out great made of medium Muslin or cotton, but if you are tempted to try more difficult materials, like silk, velvet... go for it! Any thread which doesn't snap easily will do. How to make a yo-yo? It only takes minutes... Pic.2, from: Colette Wolff, The Art of Manipulating Fabric, p.23 Cut a circle out of fabric. It has to be twice as large as the intended form a) turning the edge of circle inside, tack with even stitches.

Organza scrap flower vessels are great to make. They are based on an old idea brought up to present date. I get a lot of small scraps generated from what i do and i love that they can all be used and not chucked away. Once the vessel is dry and set hard i have decorated it with beading and bead dangles before machining flowers onto organza and cutting them out using a soldering iron to seal and neaten their edges. They are ideal for putting scented petals in and dried flower arrangements. This one was made for a very dear friend of mine and she nearly didn't get it as i was so taken with it. I love Orange and so i have quite a bit of scrap orange which as you can see i really enjoyed using. My other best friend and work mate Carolyn will hate the colours as she cringes when i work in orange. This makes me smile every time i have a orange urge and so i have called this vessel "Carolyn's Delight" as i am delighted with it and Carolyn will cringe and not be delighted Ha ha
