Today I'm going to sharing a tutorial over at the Kreaxions Blog for creating fabric yo-yo's using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter. Normally fabric would be a bit difficult to cut, but I have a little trick to add some temporary stability to it.
Step 1: Ink fabric with Distress Inks. Wipe off extra. |
Step 2: In order to cut fabric with the Circle Cutter you need to give it some stability. Using a glue stick,adhere fabric to scrap paper. I just use cheap copy paper from my recycling bin. |
Step 3: Cut circle from fabric/paper using the Kreaxion Circle Cutter. |
Step 4: Peel away the scrap paper. The glue stick provides a temporary adhesion and the fabric will peel off the paper easily. |
Step 5: Press down edges with your fingers and add a running stitch around the fabric circle. |
Step 6: When you have completely stitched around the fabric circle, carefully pull the thread to create the yo-yo. |
Step 7: Embellish with a button or gem. |
And here is the finished yo-yo embellished with a button and added to the front of a tag. A bit of stitching and a few paper leaves and you have a handmade flower embellishement. |
