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...

A couple of years ago, my very-talented sister sent me a home-made wood slice ornament for Christmas. It's one of my very favorite ornaments because it's gorgeous, and it reminds me of the mountains and my visit with her. I loved this ornament so much that I wanted to make more of them with my children, for our own tree, as well as to give away as gifts. Making our own ornaments and other Christmas crafts is a way for our family to relax together and bond. Gathering around the table in the evening, crafting with...

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. ...
