YEARNING for YOYO’s STACK-N-SWAP

YEARNING for YOYO’s STACK-N-SWAP

06/28/11 thru 07/30/11

YOYO Stack = at least two (or more if you want) stackable YOYO’s in different sizes that accent or coordinate with each other and one medium to large button for on top (100% cotton prints or plain fabric, this round is senders choice)

Summary: 1 partner receiving 4 YOYO Stacks = total of at least 8 YOYO’s made and sent and at least 4 accenting buttons (do not permanently attach the YOYO’s and buttons in each stack)

Note: in this round if you send only one button per stack be sure that the button measures at least ½” or larger

In this round you will make and send 4 YOYO Stacks to one partner. Each YOYO Stack must be made from at least 2 different sized YOYO’s of accenting fabrics, print or plain, senders choice this round. If senders want to make more than 2 YOYO’s per stack, that is fine too - print or plain in any size they choose. To finish off each YOYO Stack, add one MEDIUM OR LARGE button (buttons should be 1/2” or larger, no single tiny buttons please) for on top! The button must actually accent or match one of the colors in the YOYO’s. You can even send stackable buttons too as long as at least one of the buttons in the stack is as large as 1/2” or bigger. Think yoyo corsage with a button center on top!

If you decide to have more than two YOYO’s in any stack, you may repeat a print or color one time in that stack, but any two YOYO’s from the same fabric must be different sizes. You may mix and match your 4 YOYO Stacks so they will be interchangeable, or you may make up to 2 YOYO Stacks exactly alike which means you will have at least 2 different sets of YOYO Stacks. If you are really feeling creative you can make all 4 YOYO Stacks different.

Each YOYO Stack should NOT be permanently assembled. After you make each YOYO Stack and pick the button/buttons for on top, you can simply stack them together in a zippy bag or do a basting stitch to hold them together for mailing. That way the recipient can use them together or apart as they see fit.

Have fun matching fabrics, either print or plain and adding buttons to see what kind of interesting results you can create. As always, send what you would want to receive.

Newbies welcome with a completed profile. Flake off flakers! You are not welcome here!

Be watching for next round when we will do some Fancy YOYO’s which include YOYO’s and lace, ribbon, fancy buttons or any embellishment that says “fancy” to you!
