Fabric of your choice – enough to make 2 Extra-Large Yo-Yo’s using Clover Quick Yo-Yo Maker
2 buttons – size & style of your choice
1 Lazy Girl Handy Tab (coordinating or contrasting, preference of your choice)
1 1 ¼” Split Ring
Strong coordinating thread to stitch yo-yo’s together (a 2nd thread may be desired for securing button)
Recommended Tool: Clover Extra Large Circle Yo-Yo Maker
Instructions:
Make 2 yo-yos using Clover Extra Large Yo-yo Maker OR your favorite method.
Stitch 1 button to the gathered side of one yo-yo; make sure to stitch several times so button is very
secure; knot & tie off thread securely on back (flat) side of yo-yo. Repeat with the other button & yo-yo.
Place Lazy Girl Handy Tab with “open ends” on back side of one yo-yo & button unit and folded end
extending approximately ½” past the edge of the yo-yo as shown below.
Hand stitch across “open tail ends” securing to back side of yo-yo but being careful not to show stitching
on front side of yo-yo.
Place remaining yo-yo/button unit against the “tabbed” yo-yo/button unit with the button sides out. Begin
at the right side of the “Lazy Tab” and whip stitch all the way around perimeter of yo-yos with
coordinating thread. Carefully stitch through all layers at the “Lazy Tabs”, making two passes over the
“Lazy Tab” area. Knot, secure & bury thread.
Slide the split ring on to “Lazy Tab”.
Enjoy your new key chain!
