Crafty Friday: God's Eyes

In terms of crafts that are super duper easy, super duper fun, and produces dynamic results, this one meets all those criteria. God's Eyes are something you might remember making at summer camp, or Vacation Bible School, but totally worth revisiting them as an adult...making them with your children, of course. All you need  are some popsicle sticks, glue, and a variety of different colored yarn.

For a quick tutorial, head on over to Kaboose here.

If you notice, the difficulty level states "very easy," and I can attest to that. This is so easy, you can do it while nursing a baby. In fact it's a good way to pass the time while doing so.


Audrie took right to the craft...


The boys, not so much.

One is sick...


and one is satisfied...


But between Audrie and I, we managed to create quite a few God's Eyes...


If you have some toothpicks and embroidery thread, you can create miniature God's Eyes as well...


We have big plans for these little guys. They are going to make their way onto a chain and become pendants for some very cutesy crafty pieces of jewelry.

And we're not stopping there. We'll definitely be revisiting this craft. I foresee future Christmas ornaments and garland...


With all of the time spent in my gold chair nursing my baby, I'll have enough God's eyes to fill at least four dozen Christmas trees!

Happy Crafting!
