I hope that you've been following our paper sloyd series. My children and I have been working through the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. We are making videos of each project and posting them here and on YouTube under the name Happy Handicrafts. This week, for Project #10, we learned how to create a paper sloyd fan. We initially thought that this project would be quite simple, but it proved to be the most challenging yet. Although the instructions and diagram were not difficult, we found that accuracy and attention to detail...

I am going to start off by acknowledging that anyone who knows me well is howling laughing at the very thought that I am writing an article about pet ownership. I am not a pet person, have no desire to be a pet person, and quite frankly will die happy if I never have a pet. But, along came my children, who love creatures of all kinds. It was only a matter of time until they convinced me that they should have a pet. I held them off for a few years with one excuse or...

We are excited to share our latest Happy Handicrafts video with you! Our most recent project from our Paper Sloyd series is a pencil box. This series is perfect for any homeschool mom who wants to give her children the broad feast of education, but feels that she cannot teach arts and crafts. My children and I created this video series for those homeschool moms who don't feel like they are crafty, are short on time, or could just use a little downtime while teaching another student. All you need is Happy Handicrafts - we are...

There was a hard and fast rule in our family when we were growing up. My parents insisted that everyone take piano lessons for at least one year. At the end of the year, you could either quit if you hated it, continue if you loved it, or change instruments and try something new. I decided to stay with the piano - and what began as a requirement became an enjoyment. I didn't know the benefits of learning a musical instrument, but looking back, it seems that my parents did. Over time, playing the piano...

Hello! It's time for us to release the eighth video in our Happy Handicraft Paper Sloyd series. This project is all about how to create a paper sloyd basket with handle. We found it to be a little more labor-intensive than previous projects, but we're here to walk you through each step. Just follow along with the video, pause where you need to, and I think you are going to love the results. My children and I are creating this series for other homeschool families, who could use some help. I know sometimes homeschool moms can be...

In our last blog post, How to Create a Paper Sloyd Bookmark, we showed our most recent Happy Handicraft video in our paper sloyd series. It was a very simple way to create a paper sloyd bookmark. I don't know about you, but in our homeschool, we read a lot of books, and we are always in need of bookmarks. These paper sloyd bookmarks are a lot nicer than the scrap paper I normally grab to save my place in a book! Or the piece of random plastic that I found my daughter using as a bookmark! We really enjoyed making these...
