Happy Wednesday Friends! Oh how I love nifty, thrifty handmade finds, like these colorful quilter's yo-yos ! Today I'm getting crafty with a patriotic flair...
Imagine, I almost passed on a huge bag of these yo-yos in a rainbow of hues, because I wasn't sure if I would use them. Then I considered the time someone invested, lovingly crafting each piece and my soft spot won out. The red, white and blue ones inspired me to make a simple embroidery hoop wreath--also thrifted for a mere .50! I laid them out, trying different arrangements before hot gluing them.
Last, I added one strand of polka dot ribbon. I really wanted to keep it simple and here's the finished result...
...and a peek of it on the front door.
Do you buy supplies for crafts at thrift stores?

ReplyDeleteThis is so cute and festive! Someone spent a lot of time making all those yo-yos, and you did such a good job or repurposing them. Thanks for sharing at Vintage Inspiration Party.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out really cute Cecilia and looks so pretty on you dark door.

That's cute, Cecilia! I don't find craft supplies at thrift stores. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough!
ReplyDeleteThat wreath is so adorable and I can see so easy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! and yes, I do buy craft items at thrift stores. So inexpensive and eventually I find something to use them for!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of the yo-yo's. I am always on the lookout for them.
ReplyDeleteI love yo-yo's and these made such a cute wreath - perfect for July 4th. Thanks for sharing at Share It One More Time. Cathy
ReplyDeleteOh no my friend, you never pass on yo-yo's! lol! There is so much you can do with them. They make darling flowers on dishtowels and quilts. Really fun on your wreath also! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

very cute wreath!
ReplyDeleteLove that wreath! Will look great any time of the year, really. Yoyo's are so fun to play with. Did you see that yo-yo bedspread posted on FineCraftGuild made with Amy Butler fabric... Mmmm Fabulous project, but yours is a bit more manageable to finish in a few hours! Love it. Well, girl, thank you again for coming to party with us. As always, we loved having you and look forward to your new contributions again tomorrow! ~ Rose, www.FineCraftGuild.com

Love it! THree cheers! And yes, I do enjoy finding crafts supplies at thrift shops! Much cheaper. :) I featured you this week for LTV!
ReplyDeleteI've made a few things out of yo yos before, but never a wreath. I'll have to add this to my project list as I love how yours turned out!
