Yo-Yo Necklace ~ Guatemalan Fabric!

You can’t Walk the Dog or execute the Sleeper trick with these yo-yos, but you can still impress your friends. I made my first yo-yo necklace (pictured below) last summer, using Guatemalan Fabric! It complimented my brown summer dress fabulously, and that’s not just my opinion…honest.  A bold statement around my neck, my necklace was large and loud but definitely loved.

  • I used Guatemalan Fabric from http://www.littlemangoimports.com to construct my yo-yos
  • The best yo-yos take time
  • I used wire instead of embroidery thread (I will use thread next time)
  • I had trouble not losing the beads inside the yo-yo (solution: dab of hot glue)
