Today we will be creating a paper sloyd traditional envelope. This project is number 10 from the 2nd year from the book, Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. If you've been following along with us, making the models as we go, you will remember that we made an envelope as our very first paper sloyd project. Unlike the first, much simpler model, this model uses many of the skills that we have since developed, such as measuring and cutting accurately with an Exacto knife. The result is a beautiful and useful creation. Materials Needed: ...

Today we will be creating a paper sloyd handkerchief box, such as would have been used in the early 1900s. This is project #7 from the second year, in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. This is a cute little box with an attached lid that would probably hold 1-2 handkerchiefs. In this century, since we now consider handkerchiefs unsanitary, we would probably use this box for Kleenex or a small collection of some sort. We found this model to be a little more difficult because the instructions were not as clear...

One thing I have enjoyed, while working through our paper sloyd projects, is our little insight into the world in 1905. Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades, the book we are using as our guide was written in that year, and it provides little peeks into the world in that time. Now-a-days, if I need a box, or a portfolio, or a tag to put on my suitcase, I simply go to the store and buy one. Even as a crafty DIYer, I am still going to go to the store for most of my needs. Back...

The next project in our Paper Sloyd Series is a set of thread winders. This project is the 5th model from the second year in the book Paper Sloyd for Primary Grades by Ednah Anne Rich. They were easy to make, as the measuring and cutting were fairly basic and no assembly was required. Thread Winders? Now if you're sitting there wondering what you would do with a set of thread winders (never mind a set!), you're probably not alone. I'm pretty sure I've never had the need for a thread winder in my entire life. ...

For the past several months, in our homeschool, we've been working on paper sloyd. Sloyd is an important part of a Charlotte Mason education, yet we had neglected it in our early years of learning. However, once we dug deeper and learned more about it, we began to take it more seriously, and it became a subject that we thoroughly enjoyed. As we gained skill and expertise in paper sloyd, I began to think of the next step. Sloyd is a progressive subject, and paper sloyd is only the beginning. So what comes after 2-3...

In our last blog post, How to Create a Paper Sloyd Bookmark, we showed our most recent Happy Handicraft video in our paper sloyd series. It was a very simple way to create a paper sloyd bookmark. I don't know about you, but in our homeschool, we read a lot of books, and we are always in need of bookmarks. These paper sloyd bookmarks are a lot nicer than the scrap paper I normally grab to save my place in a book! Or the piece of random plastic that I found my daughter using as a bookmark! We really enjoyed making these...
