Scrap busting with yo-yos!

Hello hello! I've been seeing fabric yo-yos alot lately and thought it was about time I gave making them a go!
I collected a bunch of scrap fabric (leftovers from vintage sheets, a kimono, a skirt & a top all thrifted)
I used this tutorial that Jessica 1st linked to, thanks Jessica!
I made a bunch of stuff:
 Plain thrifted singlet from my wardrobe embelished with yo-yos & vintage buttons.
Hair clips on left with added embroidered & sequin flowers. Brooches at top. Headbands with button sewn onto the centre of the yo-yos.
 And lastly a yo-yo necklace made simply by sewing the yo-yos onto chain.
And I still have more left over!!! To see what else I've been making come find me on Facebook :)
