A classic craft project for camp, these Ojo de Dios or God's Eyes are a great way to use up left-over yarn.

Gods' Eye Reviewed by Brianna McComb on 2010-03-19 *****
I love these things! I find them especially fun to make with three tooth-picks, and crochet cotton. They are so cute, even more so that way! They make great Christmas gifts, ornaments, and decorations. I have one hanging in my bedroom, and it is so small and cute. They are great beginner projects. I would highly recommend them. =)
