Gary White "celebrates childhood" by collecting yo-yos (he owns 200 of them ).
They bought a waterproof blue plastic box and filled it with small treasures: a yo-yo; a deck of cards; a few golf balls.
In groups of six students, we were given the task of producing at least 50 yoyos.
To size your yo-yo, the fabric circle should be cut approximately twice the size of the finished yo-yo.
The yo-yo is a thrifty way to use up scraps of fabric, or to re-purpose old fabric from garments or linen.
Industry experts said last year's yo-yo prices have left many investors reluctant to roll the dice with oil.
It remains to be seen whether this is the start of a better trend or if there are yet more yo-yo months ahead.
