more flowers

On a roll with flower making.  Here's another version that is fast and fabulous.  Yo-yo flowers are really easy to make and add a nice touch to many projects.  Draw a circle at least 4" on your fabric.  I used a desert plate.  Cut out your circle and stitch around close to the edge with a running stitch, pull tight and tie off your threads.  Add a decorative button or bling.  That's it.  If you were making yo-yos for a quilt you would turn the edge under before stitching, but you don't need to for this.  Add them to anything you want for a touch of color and texture.  Sew or hot glue them on.
just stitch around the edges with a running stitch

a finished yo-yo just add a button, pom-pom, earring or jewel to finish the center
