Brighids Cross
Items needed:
a handfull of wheat stalks
warm water
clothespins
clear or red thread and needle
perserverance
Directions:
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 through the second wheat stalk. It now looks like an L with a tail. Fold and insert the fourth stalk through 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 through each "arm". Allow to dry with the clothespins in place. Using the thread and needle, sew the stalks together - this is cheating, but I find that it's necessary! Hang over the fireplace or stove.
