You may not be able to “walk the dog” or go “around the world” with these yo-yos, but you can make a variety of interesting and easy home decor items.

Yo-yos are those puffy little fabric rosettes that have been around forever, adorning everything from apparel to parlor pillows, and are a staple with modern-day quilters.

They're also available in different shapes — oval, flower, butterfly and shamrock, for example. Yo-yos make great portable projects, and once I start sewing them, I don't want to stop.
