Weaving a basket of newspaper tubes
Weaving items from newspaper tubes is gaining more and more popularity today. Beautiful and functional things come out of this seemingly accessible and not requiring any financial investments material.
Today we will learn how to weave things from tubes for inexperienced needlewomen.
One of the simple little things woven from newspaper tubes is a basket, follow the photo instructions and you will get a great product.
List of items required:
- newspapers and magazines;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- cardboard;
- spoke;
- ruler;
- a simple pencil.
First cut newspaper sheets into squares with sides 11 * 11 cm. Then we make tubes from which the basket will weave.
We take a prepared sheet of paper, lay the knitting needle at a diagonal angle and tightly wind the paper into a tube, then take out the knitting needle so that our blank does not unwind, apply glue to the edge of the newspaper.
Having folded all the sheets into tubes, it is necessary to cut out 2 identical circles from cardboard, the size of the basket depends on the diameter of the circles.
On one of the cardboard blanks, in the form of the sun, glue 8 tubes.
We lubricate the second workpiece with glue and cover the tubes, for better adhesion of the parts of our basket, put them under the press for 20 minutes. After the glue has dried, the workpiece can be painted.
So, weave a basket, for a start, lift one of the glued tubes and glue to it the edge of the new tube, only horizontally. Look carefully at the photo so as not to be mistaken.
We put the glued vine on the outside of the frame tube, then in a circle we just grab the next tube inside. So weave in a circle, when the circle ends, the ends of the horizontal vines are screwed into each other, as shown in the photo.
Thus, weave all the rows, to a height that suits you.
When you finish the last row, we cut the vertical frame tubules, fill them in and glue them.
Our basket needs a pen. We twist together 2 tubes, for strength you can coat them with glue. Glue the finished handle to the basket.
Note!
The basket can be decorated with beads and flowers, and used as a decoration or to store any gizmos.
