Ojo de Dios

Materials

  • 2 sticks the same length (you can use pencils or ice cream sticks)

  • yarn in various colors rolled in small balls

  • white glue

    1. Cross the sticks in the center to form a + . Glue them where they cross to make it easier for the children to handle them.

    2. Begin wrapping the sticks in a figure 8, then without tying off the yarn, and going clockwise, wrap the long end of the yarn under #1, around the stick, under #2, around that stick, under #3, etc.

    3. Continue wrapping the yarn around each leg of the cross. Keep the yarn tight and push it toward the center with each wrap so that the strands will lie close together.

    4. Change colors whenever you desire. When ending a color, tie a double knot close to the stick, put a drop of glue over the knot and trim off the end of the yarn.

    5. When your "god's eye" is full, tie and glue the yarn as described above, and then form a hanging loop and tie and glue again. Trim off the end of the yarn.
