how to weave an Ojo De Dios









*all images from JaysMandalas Etsy store

My two older kids have made simple versions of these Ojo De Dios at school in the past, although they called it plum tree weaving as they used branches from a plum tree... I was surprised at how easy the kids found it, they were eight years old at the time. The results were beautiful and looked great on adorning their bedroom walls.
They are packed away in a box under the stairs now... this how-to post on the Etsy Blog makes me want to pull them out and display them again.
I want to make one of these. The possibilites are endless for design and colors. But mine wont be as beautiful as the ones on Etsy. I'm sure it has taken Jay Mohler years to perfect his craft. you can buy his colouful Ojo De Dios at his etsy shop here.  And he also sells kits to make your own and pdf intructions to go with. Have a look they are amazing.
