*Brighid's Cross*
Items needed:
A handful of wheat stalks
Warm water
Clothespins
Clear or red thread and needle
Perseverance
Soak wheat stalks in warm water until pliable
Fold one stalk of wheat in half, leaving the kernels sticking out
Fold another one the same way, and thread through the first one. It now looks like a long "L"
Fold the third the same way, and insert thru the second wheat stalk. It now looks like an L with a tail
Fold and insert the fourth stalk thru the third
Use the clothes pins to help keep the shape as you weave more wheat
Continue folding and threading the wheat stalks until you have several wheat woven thru each 'arm'
Allow to dry with the clothespins in place
Using the thread and needle, sew the stalks together
Hang over the fireplace or stove.
