How to make a Gods Eye: So my church summer did a art camp where they work on a play and do a complete performance in a week. It is a great to see. Think summer stock for church. I was in charge of teaching a art segment and since the play was from the 1970’s I decided to make a craft that I did when I was a Kid Gods Eyes.

When I taught the class the kids ranged from 4- 12 years. The kids 4-7 needed a little help. The older kids need help to knot off but after being shown they complete the Gods eye on there own.

When I was a kid I used sticks I would find in the yard, since I had 30 kids for my class- I went to the Asia market and purchased chop sticks:
