Homeschool

14 May

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,...

Our project for today is a paper sloyd diamond-shaped box. This project is the 12th supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. It's a beautiful little box with a lid, that can be used for so many things. We're thinking hair elastics, push pins, paper clips, buttons etc. Although we've created several boxes in the past (a pencil box, a bonbon box, a handkerchief box, a ribbon box, a pen box, a box with cover, a sliding pencil box, a round button box, and a triangular candy box,...

Today we are going to be creating a paper sloyd trefoil calendar. This oddly-shaped calendar is the 11th supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades. We are slowly working our way through this book, making and filming every project as we go so that we can share them with you. As you read and watch, you will see how each project presents us with new and different challenges. This project seemed to be missing several measurements and guides, so we made them up ourselves, and they seemed to work. If you are finding this...
