Celebrate half-shelled heroes
sticks, eventually it should
start to look like a shell.
(Tip: there are many
videos
demonstrating
god’s eye weaving online.
If you’re really stuck ask
your adult to pull one up
for you.)
If you want to get really
crazy, you can change the
color of yarn to change
the color of the shell. To
change yarn colors just
cut the strand of yarn you
started with, tie it to a new
strand, and continue with
on the tip of the stick that
will be the head. Then go
to the other side of that
same popsicle stick and
draw a little tail.
The other four “limbs”
are feet. You can give
your turtle toes if you
want too, or even a cool
foot tattoo. From here,
the only thing that limits
your decoration is your
crafting supplies and
imagination.
the pattern.
Once you’re satisfi ed
with the size and colors
of your shell, cut the
yarn, but be sure to leave
enough room at the end of
your string to tie it to the
original piece we left out at
the beginning.
If you cut your yarn too
short, that’s okay, unwind
it until it’s long enough
to reach. No one will ever
know.
Lastly, use a marker
and draw a smiley face

in the offi ce, I found that
doing this next step when
it’s “mostly dry” results in a
broken turtle.
So now that your glue
is 100 percent dry we’re
going to use the yarn. Hold
your turtle so that the x is
standing upright. Wrap the
yarn around the center of
the x so that it’s covered.
If you start weaving and
you can still see the stick
in the middle, that’s okay;
unweave, go back and wrap
the string around the middle
a few times, and then start
weaving the outside shell.
On the smaller turtles,
I wrapped it fi ve or six
times. For the bigger ones
I wrapped it 12 or 13 times.
Leave a little bit of yarn out
when you start wrapping,
we’ll tie it off later.
Once you’ve covered
the middle of the turtle, it’s
time to start weaving. This
particular pattern is called a
“god’s eye.”
I will admit it took me
several attempts to fi gure it
out but, once I got it, the rest
was easy and kind of fun.
When
you
fi nish
covering the middle of
the turtle (when you can
no longer see where the
popsicle sticks connect)
you should be able to
bring the yarn over the
top of one of the sticks.
Wrap the yarn around
that stick and then bring
it over to the top of the
next one. It should come
over the top of the stick,
go underneath, and then
go over to the next one in
a loop-de-loop pattern.

Of No Adults Allowed
Because we banned
plastic bags to help save
turtles – technically, it was
to save all the animals, but
turtles are my favorite – I
had to this opportunity to
make a turtle craft, how
could I not?
For this craft you’ll need:
Popsicle sticks (three per
turtle)
Green paint or marker
Paint brushes (optional)
Glue
Yarn
Black marker
The fi rst thing we need
to do is make our popsicle
sticks turtle colors. I made
mine green because I’m
boring, but feel free to make
them any color you’d like.
Paint or color both sides
of the popsicle stick, you
can use a paint brush or,
if your adult says yes, you
can use a fi nger.
After the paint dries,
we’ll need to glue
the popsicle sticks
together. Remember
there should be three
popsicle sticks per
turtle.
Glue two of them
together in an x and
let it dry. Glue the x on
the middle of the third
popsicle stick (it should
look like x but bigger).
In a perfect world, the
sticks would all be spaced
out evenly, but that is not
the world we live in, so don’t
sweat it if they aren’t all
glued exactly in the middle.
After, and only after, the
glue has completely dried
we can move onto the next
step. While experimenting
