DIY Heart Fabric Yo-Yo Garland

DIY Heart Fabric Yo-Yo Garland - Country Peony Blog

Hello from Texas! Elizabeth here, and I am the DIY and Craft Blogger behind Country Peony.

Valentine’s Day is almost here and when I think of Valentine’s Day decorations I think of handmade charm with sweet details. I am so excited to partner with Clover today to bring you a project with those charming and sweet details. Today I used Clover’s “Quick” Yo-Yo Maker in the Heart shape to create a sweet heart garland for Valentine’s Day! And I can’t wait to show you how to make your own.

Like most of my projects, this craft is very simple and fully customizable. You can use whatever color scheme and fabric pattern you want. This is also a great craft for all of your leftover fabric because you don’t need a lot of fabric for it.

When choosing a color palette, I do recommend picking about 3-4 colors. I always like to start with an inspiration fabric, and then pull the other colors from the inspiration fabric so the look stays cohesive. Don’t be afraid to play with pattern because it adds interest and whimsy to the final product! My inspiration fabric was the charming daisies. I then pulled the reds mustard yellow from it, and added a light pink to the mix for some fun!

I have used Clover’s “Quick” Yo-Yo Makers for my projects before as you can see HERE | HERE | and HERE. However, this was my first time crafting with their heart-shaped yo-yo maker. And, just like their other yo-yo makers, it was so much fun and easy to use. The process is very similar to the traditional yo-yo makers. The only difference is ensuring to accentuate the top of the heart by playing with the fabric once it is sewn together to achieve the beautiful heart shape.

For your convenience, I have created a step-by-step video so you can see how I made the fabric yo-yos using Clover’s “Quick” Yo-Yo Maker in the Heart shape. Then continue below to follow the step-by-step images to make your own DIY Heart Fabric Yo-Yo Garland.
