Craftwork from newspaper tubes - little secrets

It turns out that out of any unnecessary old trash you can do this! As you see, so the spirit will capture. A little keep from not immediately running home and doing it yourself with your own hand.

What are just worth, for example, handicrafts from newspaper tubes - these are just works of art! You can imagine a cheerful brown bull, as if woven from willow twigs, which has a lid on its back. You tear it away and take out any small things that you did not know before and where to put it: thread different, scissors, or combs and hairpins. And you can adapt the trunk-bull in the kitchen to the lids or spices that are still stored in the bags. In general, the thing is necessary and useful in the household, and where to adapt it - to decide a sweet hostess.

And similar trunks - products from newspaper tubes, perform in the form of turtles, also with a lid on top, on a shell. For napkins use chests-cocks with tails and head. Only here you should think carefully about how you can paint a bird.

In fact, artifacts from newspaper tubes can be painted in many different ways, because in their original quality they still remain paper. But in order to give the tubes a festive multicolor, many craftsmen recommend using the paint for Easter eggs. Today there are such anhydrous dyes that do not spoil the shape and give the tubes a very bright color.

If artifacts from newspaper tubes should mimic willow twigs, then they need to give the color of the tree. Then it is recommended to paint with alcohol or water stains. But it's better to do this after the product is ready, because the stain gives the paper a hardness. If you cover the pipe with a stain before the weaving process is started, they will become stiff, just wooden, and they will break when weaving.

Sometimes it is impossible to paint letters and bright pictures from the first time. In such cases, you can first use a primer, and then stir it with the addition of color (50 to 50). For coloring, you can use a dish with a dye into which the sticks are dipped, turning them in a solution, then letting them drain. But you can paint ready-made products from newspaper tubes, using a normal brush.

In addition to small gizmos, with the help of weaving techniques, you can make more serious ones, such as a box for dirty laundry or for children's toys, an original box for vacuum cleaner and other pieces of furniture. By the way, to save space in a small apartment, a box for clothes or children's toys can be made from the table, reinforcing the "braid" around the legs and adapting the bottom. And the vacuum cleaner will hide under a stool, decorated in the same way. The stool will simply be "put on" on the device, reliably camouflaging it.

In order to create crafts from newspaper tubes, the master class suggests first to train in the production of the raw material - the tubes themselves. It is necessary to cut newspapers on the long side with strips about a decimeter wide. Using a knitting needle, you should twist the tube, starting to wind it from the corner. The tip should be glued so that the tube does not turn. You need to do quite a lot of these paper twigs, so that during the weaving did not work out so that the material suddenly ended. It is inconvenient to be interrupted during work, because while you are screwing additional sticks, the already done "braid" will relax, and some tubes will fall out of it.

To fix the weave, you can use a stapler or glue, from time to time strengthening the work. If suddenly the tube ends, you need to insert into the hole of the rod that you need to lengthen, insert the other. In some cases, the connection site should be glued.

The process of weaving almost does not differ from the performance of this action with a vine or willow twigs, the innovation here is only the procedure of cooking tubules.
