Anthropologie Knock Off
Vintage Yo Yo Bobby Pins
{As seen on the fabulous Kojo Designs}
I originally posted this fun tutorial on Kojo Designs a while back.
During my moving interim, I thought I would revisit it with y’all.

then you know I love me a good knock off.
And naturally, one of my favorite sites to get ideas is Anthropologie.
I stumbled upon these beauties, and knew I wanted to try my own version.
And now, for my version:
In my family, we have a Yo Yo quilt that has been passed down for 4 generations. It is made with vintage fabric, and it makes my heart swoon. The only problem, it has begun to tatter and fall apart. And the girls in our family have been trying to find alternate uses for the classic yo yo’s. So I very carefully used a seam ripper to remove a handful of yo yo’s from the outer edge of my blanket–to use on this vintage project.
-
Fabric Yo Yo’s
-
Bobby Pin blanks {available in jewelry section at Joann’s}
-
Buttons and/or scrap booking embellishments
-
Ribbon, tulle or any other extras you like
-
Scissors
-
Hot glue gun and glue
Lay out all your Yo Yo’s and start gettin’ creative as you make your button/yo yo combinations.
Grab your bobby pin base and add a drop of hot glue.
Place on the backside of a yo yo. Allow to cool.
Flip over and apply a drop of glue to the center of the front of your yo yo. Then place your button on top. Allow to cool.
Yep, it’s really that easy.
I hope you enjoyed the world’s easiest knock off project!
Happy Crafting!

Love them! Going to attempt some myself! Where do you find your diamond buttons??
fun! This is definitely added to my pinterest "craft to do" board!
Those are AMAZING! I actually think I may be able to do that. Are you gonna sell those?
I love this idea! I think I'll have to try it!
I am SO making these. Thanks for sharing.
I don't think I can become crafy enough to make these pins. They do look adorable.
super cute– I have to try this for my lil Madi!
these are so pretty! a lovely little idea.
I love these and I actually think I could pull it off! Horray!

Oh I LOVE these! You are so incredibly talented! Where did you get all of the unique buttons?
My goodness, what a cute idea! You are so pretty, have such a pretty family, and a beautiful blog! I love reading it daily! Where can I buy the fabric yo yos so I can try the project?
I want vintage yo-yos! Cuuute! They are much cuter than anthros, honestly. I'm going to use vintage fabric to make mine and iron them down so they look like vintage yo-yos! Yay!
I was so confused at first because I thought you made the ones in the first photo and the 2nd photo was Anthro, but in reverse? Yours are SO much better than theirs! Way to go Miss Momma!!!
I love these, but I’m sad that you couldn’t keep the family heirloom intact, or were able to restore it in some way, like on pillows or something. It seems bobby pins might be too easily lost.. Yoyos are so easy to make!
What exactly is a fabric yo yo and how do you make them?
Awh, these are so CHIC! I make little hair clips and headbands for babies for the Irish market but these are super pretty! x
these are so cool. great idea.
These are so great! Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I featured it on my blog: http://www.eleganceandelephants.com/2012/11/inspiring-knock-offsaccessories.html
Yours are cuter than the original!
Some men and women beat it with treatment, while other people usually are not that blessed. blood pressure too low – Remaining overweight/obese – is often a strain to quite a few physique techniques – just visualize the effort needed by your heart to pump blood as a result of all of that excess fat and you can see why becoming as well heavy is actually a challenge. The answer for reducing substantial blood pressure level is performing workouts, Avoiding all stimulants these types of as black tea, espresso, cigarettes, liquor, salt, mustard, white and black pepper, ginger, nutmeg and also other spices.
