Oh my goodness! It's already our last project from the first year models from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich! We've gotten through 14 different models. Not only have we learned a lot, but we've developed some pretty impressive skills! Our last project for the first year is to create a paper sloyd spool basket. But before we start - what is a spool basket? This book was originally written in 1905, so it's clearly something commonplace from the turn of the century. If you do any sewing, you know...

Fall is here, and it's time to break out the Halloween decorations! It's time to get your home ready for all the ghosts and goblins that will be coming your way! Halloween has always been one of my children's favorite celebrations - not for what it stands for, mainly because it comes with free candy and the opportunity to dress up. So every year, we do seasonal crafts and decorate the house. One of our favorite ways to decorate for Halloween is to make a million little spider webs. They are fun, and an easy...

Last week, in our paper sloyd video series, we made a paper sloyd book cover. Today, we are making Project 13 from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades. This project is the second half of the paper sloyd book cover - we will be making paper sloyd book sheets, otherwise known as pages. After all, you can't have a book without book sheets! Creating paper sloyd book sheets, and putting them into our book cover has probably been our favorite paper sloyd project so far! Once you are able to make one of these book, you...

Several years ago, my children and I had the pleasure of participating in a local Charlotte Mason Co-op. One of the group's handicrafts for a term was to create a leather journal, doing the book binding ourselves. While this would normally seem unbelievably overwhelming to me, the women in this co-op somehow made it so simple and enjoyable. It was this project that convinced me to tackle handicrafts of all kinds with confidence that with a little work and research, we can do anything! I was seriously so amazed at these young kids, able to create...

Our next paper sloyd project is just in time for the upcoming Halloween season! It is Project #11 from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This week we are going to learn how to create a paper sloyd bonbon box with an 8"x8" paper. This is a fun activity for the whole family. If you are a homeschooling mom, you will love our entire Happy Handicrafts series for your students. A paper sloyd bonbon box is a cute and personalized way to give a small present to someone special. If you...

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...
