Have you ever heard of a “god’s eye” before? No, it’s not some mystical tool used by deities. It’s actually a pretty cool craft that you can make at home! And lucky for you, I’ve got the inside scoop on how to do it. Check it out:
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
First things first, you’re going to need some supplies. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 sticks that are the same length
- Yarn in various colors
- Scissors
Step 2: Start Wrapping
Once you have your supplies, it’s time to start making the “eye” part of the god’s eye. Take one of your sticks and tie the end of your first color of yarn to it. Then start wrapping the yarn around the stick to create a diamond shape. Keep wrapping until you get to the end of the stick, then tie off the yarn and cut it.
Step 3: Repeat Step 2
Now it’s time to repeat step 2, but with a different color of yarn. This time, wrap the yarn around the stick in a diamond shape, but make sure to wrap it so that it overlaps the first color of yarn. Keep wrapping until you get to the end of the stick, then tie off the yarn and cut it.
Step 4: Add More Colors
Repeat step 3 with as many different colors of yarn as you want. Each time you add a new color, make sure to wrap it so that it overlaps the previous color. This will create a cool layered effect.
Step 5: Add the Second Stick
Once you’ve finished wrapping the first stick, it’s time to add the second stick. Place the second stick perpendicular to the first stick so that they form a cross. Use another piece of yarn to tie the two sticks together.
Step 6: Wrap the Second Stick
Now it’s time to start wrapping the second stick with more yarn. Start by tying the end of your first color of yarn to the second stick, then wrap the yarn around the stick in a diamond shape. Keep wrapping until you get to the end of the stick, then tie off the yarn and cut it.
Step 7: Repeat Step 6
Repeat step 6 with a different color of yarn. This time, wrap the yarn around the stick in a diamond shape, but make sure to wrap it so that it overlaps the first color of yarn. Keep wrapping until you get to the end of the stick, then tie off the yarn and cut it.
Step 8: Add More Colors
Repeat step 7 with as many different colors of yarn as you want. Each time you add a new color, make sure to wrap it so that it overlaps the previous color. This will create a cool layered effect.
Step 9: Finishing Touches
Once you’ve finished wrapping the second stick, tie off the yarn and cut it. You can also add any finishing touches that you want, like tassels or beads. Your god’s eye is now complete!
Now that you know how to make a god’s eye, you can impress all of your friends with your crafting skills. Who knew that a few pieces of yarn and some sticks could create something so beautiful? Happy crafting!
