Did you try our needle felted dryers balls with a ball of wool last week? These were a game changer for us, using them in the dryer with big, heavy loads of laundry. Today we are going to show you how to make smaller needle felted dryer balls, from wool roving. We like the smaller balls for smaller loads of laundry or for delicates. These are even easier and quicker to make than our dryer balls with a ball of wool. Be sure to watch our video below for the process. What are Dryer Balls? First, what exactly are dryer balls? We...

I am loving our new handicraft of needle felting! Have you tried it? It's so rewarding and exciting to see projects come together! Today we are going to show you how to make needle felted dryer balls from a ball of wool. There are so many versions of these DIY dryer balls throughout the internet. Over the next couple of weeks, I'm going to show you a couple of the simple ones, and you can choose which one you'd like to do. Why simple? Because no matter how much time, effort, and money you put into these balls, they...

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...

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,...

After the difficulty and frustration of our last model, the paper sloyd doll house chair, we were more than relieved to find that today's paper sloyd rosette bookmark was fairly simple and quick to make. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we made THREE! After all, what homeschooler doesn't need a bookmark or two? Or three? Today we are making the 7th Supplementary Model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. So, gather around, collect your supplies, and let's do some paper sloyd together! Our video below will walk...

Today, as part of our paper sloyd adventures, we are going to be learning how to create another paper sloyd silk winder. This project is the fifth supplementary model from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. Last week, we made our first silk winder, project #4, which was reminiscent of our thread winders from the second year. While there are no suggestions regarding the purpose of the supplementary paper sloyd models in the back of this book, my children and I decided for us, they are for additional practice. It seems...
