Basket made of newspaper tubes

For those who are fond of weaving from the newspapers my master class. I, too, in the past, when I first saw products from newspapers, was simply amazed: how it is possible to create such works of art from the usual newspaper. Well, how and all the fracturing people decided to try to do something from newspaper tubes herself. I confess, the first my product (a vase for sweets) could not withstand any criticism of her husband and was thrown into the garbage, but the second basket for sweets had already attracted the attention of my girlfriends and acquaintances, so I'll show you the master class in her manufacture.

I will describe in detail how to apply a basket from the newspaper tubes.

Well, let's start.

For the manufacture of such a vase from the newspaper tubes it took me:

- 2 Circle cut from the box (diameter depends on the width of your basket)

- PVA glue

- Tassels big and small

- Morilka (I used the oak first, then the red tree)

- Newspaper tubes

- glue stick

- the form you will be tired of your basket

At first I took the circles out of the box and glued to them newspaper tubes in the form of a sun. From above covered all this case by another circle, well-smeared PVA glue. The resulting "sunshine" covered the press from the pile of books and left for 12 hours for full gluing.

Next, I started weaving. On the bottom of the form laid the workpiece and carefully intertwined the newspaper tubes. When the main tube ended, I simply was in its end the next tube, lubricated with glue.

Gradually, I reached the necessary level of the height of the basket, turned her upside down, removed the shape according to which the fled and began to make a side.

Upon completion of weaving, all the ends cut off and, thoroughly smearing the pva glue, was in the walls of the basket.

Then I made the design of the edge of the basket: for this, 6 newspaper tubes joined the clothespin together and began to weave the ordinary pigtail. Next, smeared the moster with glue, secured her clothespins and left for 6 hours to dry.

The most difficult and, perhaps, the long procedure is completed, now the creative part begins. All the basket I cooled with PVA glue for strength. I recommend immediately buy it in a large jar, as it is comfortable to make a wide tassel and to deceive the basket.

When the glue is completely dry, I painted in 3 layers by the veil (each layer must be dried before applying the next layer). Moring dries quickly, and you will not take painting a lot of time.

Morifa you can choose different colors. I first painted the color of oak, but he seemed to me some kind of unspoice, so I put the last layer with a color of a mahogany.

In principle, it's all. The veil is completely dried and the basket is ready. Products after applying PVA glue and subsequent layers of verses acquire a glossy surface, become like lacquers. Although you can try immediately after the glue, put the wood varnish. But I like the Morilka more. By the way, another nuance: the veil should be not water based. Painted on the water - spoiled the product.

And then I will give examples of my work with newspaper tubes, I think who is engaged in this case will appreciate the works of advantage.

The chair was pulled by the newspaper tubes of about 1.5 days + applying glue and veil. In general, the alteration of Stool took 3 days.

The swan from the newspaper tubes took much more time, as it was necessary to build a frame for braid from three-liter banks and pieces of boxes and scotch. But it turned out well. Swan I painted the mourn of oak.

And then various variants of braid flower pots with newspaper tubes and porridge for flowers from newspaper tubes.

I hope you liked my work. Now I work on the candlestick and an unusual weaving of the flower pot. In the near future, ready-made photos will lay out below under the article. So far, successful needlework!
