1. Using the ruler and pencil. Mark the centers of two 9” dowels. Cross the dowels where they are marked and tie them tightly together with a 5” length of yarn. Take one end of yarn and place under the crossed yarn on the back of the Ojo-De-Dios. Bring the yarn around the back of the dowel and wrap twice. Now bring the yarn under the next dowel and up and around the dowel. Bring the yarn across the back and then around the next dowel. Repeat this process going around in a circle until the wall hanging is the desired size.
2. The yarn may be changed at any time by tying the old and new colors together at the back of the Ojo-De-Dios. When weaving hold the yarn taut, keeping the strands close together and flat, so there are no open spaces.
3. Measure and cut one 3 ½ yard length of yarn. Wind the yarn around the cardboard square in one direction, thirty-two times. Measure and cut two pieces of yarn, each 5” long. Set one aside. Push the end of one piece of yarn under the wound yarn at the top of the cardboard. Tie tightly around the yarn and knot. Cut through the yarn at the bottom of the cardboard. Remove the cardboard. Hold the yarn strands together. Wind the other 5” piece of yarn around them about 1” down from the top. Tie the ends tightly together and push them back into the tassel. Tie the tassels to the ends of the dowels.
4. Measure and cut a 48” length of yarn. Thread one end of yarn underneath the yarn at the back of the dowel. Slide the Ojo-De-Dios until it is at the center of the yarn. Tie the ends of the yarn together and hang.
