  • Turn under the edge of a hand circle and sew using a running stitch as you would when sewing a yo-yo.
  • Stuff the circle and then draw the thread to close the stuffed circle.
  • Knot securely!
  • Stack the Arm yo-yos using 21 yo-yosd for each arm.
  • Starting with the gathered side of the bottom yo-yo facing the hand,sew the hand to the center of the bottom yo-yo.
  • Guide the needle up through the center of the arm yo-yos, turning the top yo-yo so the gathered side of the yo-yo is facing up.
  • Knot securely.
  • Sandwich the top two arm yo-yo around the second body yo-yo at the side of the body.
  • Sew the arm yo-yos to the body yo-yos.
  • Sew the top body yo-yo to the top arm yo-yo, hiding the stitches inside the body yo-yo.
  • Knot the thread under the arm attachments.
  • Guide the needle down through the arm yo-yos .
  • Knot the thread at the top of the hand.
  • Guide the needle up through the arm yo-yos so there are three lines of thread attaching the arm yo-yos.
  • Repeat for the second arm
