Start Making The Quilted Yo-Yo Jewelry

Step One

Begin by applying Bondaweb to the wrong side of your green silk fabric. Afterward, remove the paper backing and place the green spotty fabric wrong side down on top. Iron these layers together to securely bond them. Repeat this process with the yellow silk and yellow floral fabrics.

On the layered green silk, draw and carefully cut out one circle with a diameter of 4 inches (10 cm) and two circles with a diameter of 2 inches (5 cm). For the layered yellow silk, draw and cut out two circles, each with a diameter of 3 inches (7.5 cm).

Step Four

To enhance the aesthetic appeal of your yo-yo necklace, incorporate heart-shaped buttons between each yo-yo. Further elevate the design by applying beads to the center of each yo-yo.

Attach your beading thread to one end and thread beads to your desired length, incorporating one half of the necklace fastening. Repeat this process on the other side to complete your unique statement necklace.

With these steps, you'll craft an eye-catching and distinctive piece of quilted yo-yo jewelry that showcases the beauty and versatility of quilted yo-yos. This elegant necklace is sure to be a conversation starter, suitable for adding a touch of individuality to any outfit and occasion.

Enjoy your creative journey!
