Favorite Handwork Project Tutorials

Whether you're gearing up for holiday gift-making, or just wanting some more balance in your homeschool day, it's a great time to do more Handwork!

Here are some of my favorite Handwork tutorials from around the internet which are free to access. I would LOVE for you to share your favorites!

If you're wanting a book of classic Waldorf Handwork projects & patterns for the different grades, I recommend The Handwork Teacher's Companion by Lili Blalock (and you should definitely also read Will Developed Intelligence: Handwork & Practical Arts in a Waldorf School by Patricia Livingston and David Mitchell... which is also available online as a free PDF download from the Online Waldorf Libary).
