Yo yos

Has anyone tried making and selling these ? Qyuite pretty as an alternative to bandannas, for girlie dogs.

Ooooh they are interesting

Was thinking of making something similar to a decorative ruff for mine, bit like a Buff, but sadly work takes precedence!

oooh. Peppa so needs one of those

This site shows how to make the yo yos, which would need to be on elastic or have an elastic insert for the dogs.

It'd be simple enough to do, but would take a lot longer than it does to make a bandana or collar and would cost more.

Perhaps one day when I have time before an auction...

Going to try Freegle for some fabric. I was very lucky, earlier this year , as I was given a whole metre of new Aida for cross stitching. (I only have 4 greyhound designs and only like one-a fawn head, though I have software to make charts from photos, but need my printer sorting in order to use it)).

A thought : yoyos would be a lovely project for a school to make. ;D

I've been offered lycra, buttons and elastic, all by one lady. All I need , now, are some measurements, as detiled on another thread.

The lady replied to my message on flickr. The yoyos are 1.5" in diameter

I've made one in silver , pale pink and rose pink glitter-very girly. I'll need to try it at the kennels, to see if it looks right on, as it looks daft on cavaliers.
