Friday I hosted a craft class for 8- to 12-year-old girls. We studied the German art of paper cutting, otherwise known as scherenschnitte, and completed a couple of super simple projects.<\/p>\n\n\n

I’ve long loved this craft, so I started the class by showing the girls several examples of scherenschnitte I’ve made for my home over the years. As you can see, many of these examples are variations on a heart theme. Hearts are a very popular motif for Scherenschnitte — and also for wedding anniversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n

Since my husband and I married while we were both still in school, we had to live on a shoestring budget for the first decade of our marriage. So most of my early gifts to him were either scherenschnitte hearts I cut out (a very economical craft — paper’s cheap) or poems I’d written<\/a> (again for the price of a piece of paper plus a little time).<\/p>\n\n\n
