Did you try our needle felted dryers balls with a ball of wool last week? These were a game changer for us, using them in the dryer with big, heavy loads of laundry. Today we are going to show you how to make smaller needle felted dryer balls, from wool roving. We like the smaller balls for smaller loads of laundry or for delicates. These are even easier and quicker to make than our dryer balls with a ball of wool. Be sure to watch our video below for the process. What are Dryer Balls? First, what exactly are dryer balls? We...

I am loving our new handicraft of needle felting! Have you tried it? It's so rewarding and exciting to see projects come together! Today we are going to show you how to make needle felted dryer balls from a ball of wool. There are so many versions of these DIY dryer balls throughout the internet. Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to show you a couple of the simple ones, and you can choose which one you'd like to do. Why simple? Because no matter how much time, effort, and money you put into these balls, they...

I am so excited to be starting a new handicraft! Today we are going to get started with needle felting using a cookie cutter. We've been working on paper sloyd for YEARS as part of our handicraft curriculum, and although it has been a great learning experience and confidence-builder, it is time to move on! We've decided to do needle felting for our next handicraft partly because it's something that my daughter has been working on for a couple of years, but also partly because it's something I've been itching to do! So now I am...

We are so excited to be moving on to a new handicraft! We loved paper sloyd and cardboard sloyd, but looking back, we found that it limited our creativity. Now, as we get started with needle felting, we can literally feel the freedom to create bursting out of our minds and bodies! We are no longer limited to following specific instructions, and making specific models - we are now free to choose and to create whatever our hearts desire! As a family, we chose needle felting as our next handicraft because it is a handicraft we've been working...

YOU GUYS! WE DID IT!!! As of today, we have completed every single model from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich! Today we will be making a paper sloyd diamond-shaped bookmark, which is the 14th supplementary model - the 60th - and final model. I am so excited about this achievement because it represents YEARS of work, a massive amount of new skills, a ton of hard work. It has brought some beautiful creativity into our lives, and presented the possibility of so much more. We have absolutely loved...

Today's project is a paper sloyd letter box. This is the 13th supplementary model from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. It is another project that I had to research. We don't tend to have letter boxes these days, but apparently they were a thing, back in 1905 when this book was published. This may be because, sadly, letters are almost obsolete nowadays. In the early 1900s, they were a valuable form of communication, and were therefore kept in beautiful boxes. Letter boxes were made from all sorts of sources, including metal, wood, and paper. Ours,...
