24 Aug How to Create a Paper Sloyd Scissor Case

Have you been following us on our YouTube channel, Happy Handicrafts? We have just released our most recent video. This tutorial is on how to create a paper sloyd scissor case. Now-a-days, we have commercialized scissor cases, but back in Charlotte Mason’s day, children were perhaps responsible for creating their own pencil cases and scissor cases to take to school. This project is a charming way for children to create their own small scissor case, and also to take some responsibility for keeping their scissors protected. It can also be a lesson in being safe with sharp objects, and a way to keep organized.

Be sure to follow along in the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich, for the instructions. You will find our video helpful for some tips and tricks to make the process easier, and for a more visual guide to the process.
