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...

The next project in our Paper Sloyd Series is a set of thread winders. This project is the 5th model from the second year in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. They were easy to make, as the measuring and cutting were fairly basic and no assembly was required. Thread Winders? Now if you're sitting there wondering what you would do with a set of thread winders (never mind a set!), you're probably not alone. I'm pretty sure I've never had the need for a thread winder in my entire life. ...

As we are going through our Paper Sloyd Series, one of the things we are enjoying the most is the creation of little, miniature things. This project is giving us some perspective as to how sizes have changed over the past 100 years. So far we've created an envelope that would not fit one of today's cards, a picture frame that required a miniature picture, a scissors case that only fit a pair of toddler-sized scissors, as well as a tray, a basket, and a pencil box, all of which do not fit the appropriate items of todays...

It's a great day to do some sloyd! I hope you are enjoying our paper sloyd series as much as myself and my kids! Today we will be making a triangular catch-all. It is the third model, from the second year, in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This was a fun project to do because it was a little different than our usual four-sided projects. Cardboard Sloyd Since our last project, I've been doing more research on cardboard sloyd. Cardboard sloyd is a natural progression in skill and materials from...
