After a stressful week, it was nice to sit down with my daughter to make this paper sloyd letter holder. Art truly washes away the stresses and cares of everyday life. Creativity brings joy, and we found ourselves laughing at our challenges and mistakes. This was Project 17 from the third year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This wasn't an easy model to create, but our struggles were worth it, because the final result is genuinely lovely and functional. Although the design of this model is pretty, it really...

Anyone need a paper sloyd match holder? We didn't know we needed one until we made Project number 16 from the third year from the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades and saw how cute it was! This model introduced a new technique to us. It was a little meticulous in the measuring and cutting, but the instructions were not difficult to understand. In fact, this project is one in which you will see all of the skills that you have been working on throughout your paper sloyd education come together. Materials Needed The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by...

Today, we are going to be making a paper sloyd sliding pencil box.  If you've been following along with us as we work through the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich, you'll know that we are in the third grade, and this is the 15th model.   This project was a bit of a break from our increasingly difficult ones from the past few weeks.  There was minimal cutting and measuring, and it came together quickly.  Our favorite part?  It's totally useful!  It's important to us that our craft projects are useful - and we plan on using this paper...

We have reached a big goal today! Today we will be making the model featured on the front of the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades - a paper sloyd twine holder. When we first began paper sloyd, I remember looking at that diagram and thinking how complicated it was. In fact, I even hesitated to start because of the complexity of that image. I couldn't imagine having the skills to complete it. Yet today, my children and I worked through it like we did all of the other projects. We often encounter a...

When my daughter and I initially sat down to do Project #13 from the 3rd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades, I may have inwardly groaned. Even my daughter, astutely expressed what I was thinking: "Is a blotting pad something we would ever use?" By this time, we all know that our arts and crafts should have some use, and when using a book published in 1905, you are bound to come across some projects that have no practical application to our world today. We giggled a little together at the thought of...

Our craft project for today is a paper sloyd round frame. This simple-to-make model is a 5" circle with the inner opening measuring 2" across.
