The finished yo-yos should measure about 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Lay the wings on your work surface, hole side up. Position yo-yos so that the bumps of the wings show above the dress (see photo). Hot glue the dress on top of the wings, hole side facing up. Glue a button and/or ribbon bow to the center of the yo-yo dress. Free US48 ground shipping for all orders over $50. The Raider yoyo is Yomega's high performance ball bearing axle yo-yo. It has been a best seller since its debut. String seven yo-yos onto each end of the third piece of elastic and sew a hand onto each end. Remove the pins, but keep hold of the two free ends of the elastic and place two large yo-yos over both ends. Pull the elastic so that the yo-yos that make up the doll's neck, torso and legs fit snugly together.

Why These Cuties Are Special
One thing you’ll notice about these yo-yos is how crisp and clean their lines are. It’s almost like they’ve been starched, standing at attention. The secret is slipping a little of our Stiff Stuff interfacing inside the yo-yo to give it structure and substance. It’s a perfect pairing. ![]()
Free-Range Yo-Yos
A single yo-yo is usually added to something – sewn onto, paired with, stuffed, stitched to more yo-yos, etc. The Stiff Stuff makes the yo-yo perfect to roam free on its own. I made a bunch of these and wore them at Quilt Market recently. Here I am at Quilt Market with the fabulous Eleanor Burns. I’m wearing the large size Yo Yo Cutie Pin.
Two Sizes
Make Yo Yo Cutie Pins in large or small sizes with large or small openings. Below is the large size shown with a pin (I’m wearing it in the pic above, small opening) and the small size with a ribbon to make an ornament or hang tag. I made the small size in holiday fabrics as wreath pins for family and friends this month (pictures next week).
