Are you in dire need of a paper sloyd wall pocket? No? Neither are we. But it is the next project in our paper sloyd series, and so we are tackling it today! When learning sloyd, you will find that each subsequent model builds on the skills of the one before, so you don't want to skip a model just because you don't have a use for it. Our paper sloyd wall pocket is Project #11 from the second year, from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. You may...

Today we will be creating a paper sloyd traditional envelope. This project is number 10 from the 2nd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. If you've been following along with us, making the models as we go, you will remember that we made an envelope as our very first paper sloyd project. Unlike the first, much simpler model, this model uses many of the skills that we have since developed, such as measuring and cutting accurately with an Exacto knife. The result is a beautiful and useful creation. Materials Needed: ...

You're going to love our next paper sloyd project! Project #10 from the 2nd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich is a folding card case. It's fairly simple and quick to make, so please join us as we make it together! You will find the video further down this post. We talked previously about how sloyd is not all about having a practical purpose, in our post, What is Sloyd? And Why is it a Valuable Tool in Home Education? Incorporating sloyd into our children's home education is...

Oh dear. It seems like we are once again in the position of creating something that we will probably never need. I mean I've been alive for 50 years and I have never had the need for a paper sloyd comb holder. How about you? However, I’ve learned that each paper or cardboard sloyd project teaches us something new so we are going to create this paper sloyd comb holder and maybe we will find some other use for it! Materials Needed: The materials that you will need for this project are simple. If you’ve been doing sloyd with...

Today we will be creating a paper sloyd handkerchief box, such as would have been used in the early 1900s. This is project #7 from the second year, in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This is a cute little box with an attached lid that would probably hold 1-2 handkerchiefs. In this century, since we now consider handkerchiefs unsanitary, we would probably use this box for Kleenex or a small collection of some sort. We found this model to be a little more difficult because the instructions were not as clear...

One thing I have enjoyed, while working through our paper sloyd projects, is our little insight into the world in 1905. Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades, the book we are using as our guide was written in that year, and it provides little peeks into the world in that time. Now-a-days, if I need a box, or a portfolio, or a tag to put on my suitcase, I simply go to the store and buy one. Even as a crafty DIYer, I am still going to go to the store for most of my needs. Back...
