Yo-yo

So I finally had some time to try and make a yo-yo. I bought three different varieties and sizes so I could make both regular round ones and flower shaped ones. The Clover Yo-yo maker is kind of cool but the instructions were obviously translated from Japanese and a little hard to follow, especially at the end. My first one didn’t turn out too badly though, made out of some Orla Kiely fabric. Any advice on securing the thread gratefully received!
