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...

We are nearing the end of our projects from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades. We've been working on this for YEARS, and we've learned so much! Today's project is the 10th of the supplementary models in the back of the book, a paper sloyd penwiper. A penwiper? We had to laugh at this one. It may seem somewhat obvious what a penwiper is, but we went searching, just to be sure. We found out that it was an essential writing tool, used primarily in the 1800s, to wipe ink from a quill or pen...

With Saint Patrick's Day approaching, I wanted to brighten up the house with some fun decorations. I realized, however, that I had absolutely no Saint Patrick's day themed decor at all! So, together with my daughter, we set out to create a simple Saint Patrick's day wreath. We have a set of small doors leading into our homeschool, and we thought it would be the perfect way to add a splash of color to this space - so we actually made two! One for each door. This project is super simple. Most of the materials we...

Our project for today was a paper sloyd pentagon-shaped calendar. This was the 9th of the Supplementary Models from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. Now, if it's not terribly obvious, these Supplementary Models are somewhat annoying. Despite having practically no instruction, we been able to figure them out. But we have now entered the "wild guess" space. With no images to guide us, and the significant fact that this book was originally published in 1905, we are left with very little idea of what we are supposed to be...
