06 Sep How to Create a Paper Sloyd Bookmark

Have you been following along on our adventures? We’ve been working through the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. We’ve even created a YouTube channel, Happy Handicrafts, to record our progress, and we hope you can come and create with us! This week, we are working Project Number 7, which is how to create a paper sloyd bookmark or book corner. It’s a fairly simple project, and one even the younger kids can enjoy.

Paper sloyd isn’t just simple origami. It has a much deeper purpose, which we delve into in a previous blog post, What is Paper Sloyd? And Why Is It a Valuable Tool in Home Education? This was so enlightening for me to learn about, and it completely changed my approach to sloyd. I hope our Paper Sloyd series will help homeschool families learn more about sloyd and find enjoyment in its’ practice.

With that being said, I am sure that you have all of the materials needed for our next project, How to Create a Paper Sloyd Bookmark, close by. So grab them, and let’s get started!

Paper sloyd is a wonderful way to get your kids together around the table, finding joy in creating. And what better way to show off their paper sloyd skills than by making a paper sloyd bookmark? Every homeschooler needs a bookmark – or two – or three!
