06 Feb How to Create a Paper Sloyd Pocket-Comb Case

How are we starting the third year of paper sloyd lessons already?! We have created so many interesting models so far. I’m excited to see what we have in store for us in this next section. Today, we will be starting with a paper sloyd pocket-comb case.

Materials Needed

• The book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich
• A cutting mat
• An Exacto knife
• A pencil
• A ruler
• Glue
• Good quality paper, at least 3″ x 5½” (this is a good time to use scraps from other projects)

This was a fairly simple start to our third year of paper sloyding (that’s a word, right?). We found that the case was far too small to hold any of our combs, but we learned another interesting way to put together a simple, flat case. If nothing else, we could use it as a book mark.

I hope you enjoyed following along with us as we craft!
