DIY___________Ojo de Dios Pendant

An Ojo de Dios, or God's eye is a yarn weaving and a spiritual object and his weaving is an ancient contemplative and spiritual practice for many indigenous peoples in the Americas.

In many of the Pueblos of New Mexico (U.S.) Ojos de Dios have traditionally been created for celebration or blessing, presented as a gift or designed to bless a home. Often they reflect a confidence in all-seeing Providence.

Their four points represent the four elements earth, water, air, and fire, with the eye at the center, that is believed to have the power to see and understand things unknown to the physical eye.

They are so easy and fun to do and perfect to create a mystical  ambience to any room!

 


 

What you need:

 

2 toothpicks

yarn

scissors

1 bead

Cross your sticks and tie a knot to secure the sticks together. Wrap the yarn around the sticks in a “x” pattern a couple of times to make sure they are held together well.


 

Working clockwise, start to form the diamond pattern by wrapping the yarn under and around one stick, then under and around the next, and so on.

Keep going until you are ready to move onto your next color.

Than tie a knot to the next color you would like to incorporate

 

Continue on with your pattern until you’re happy with how your God’s eye looks!

 

Tie the rest of the yarn making a pendant and secure it with a bead.
