Weaving is a method of joining materials through weaving or using special knots. The use of paper blanks as a starting material began to be used relatively recently. With the help of newspaper tubes, you can make magnificent key cases, boxes, baskets of various shapes, pencil cases in the form of foxes, etc.
The advantage of such products is that for their manufacture you do not need to collect the vine.
The basis of the box can be woven independently, but you can also make the basis of cardboard.
The main stages of weaving are the preparation of tubules. For this, sheets of a newspaper are cut into long strips 5-10 cm wide. Then a needle is placed on a strip at 45 degrees, and it is wrapped, thus a tube is formed. Then it is necessary to glue the edges of the paper bars to prevent unwinding.
You can set the shape of the basket by putting something rectangular: a book, notebook, box, packaging for something.
Next, the plexus process takes place in a variety of schemes, of which there are a large number. And you can choose for every taste, both for beginners and for masters of their craft.
Such wicker boxes and caskets can decorate your interior.
You can weave several identical products in different diameters: from small to large.
To give the product a shade, you need to pre-paint and dry the tubes. As a result, the final product can be put in a cover and supplemented with various decorative details.
A box or box woven from newspaper tubes is very beautifully complemented by a lid.
When choosing paper, you must first pay attention to the density. The thinner the sheet, the better, so the newspaper is the best option. But using it does not exclude the possibility of getting your hands dirty on the typography.
The lid can hide the contents of the box and decorate the product.
In order for the lid to “sit” well on the casket, it must be 1 cm larger in diameter than the casket itself.
You can purchase clean consumer paper in bundles. There is also the possibility to purchase paper rolls or newspaper breaks at the printing houses.
The cover of the box can be decorated with pictures, photos, bows, lace, ribbons and much more.
From the usual office paper, you can also make wicker products. Density compared to newspaper is almost twice as much.In this regard, the tubes are a little more difficult to twist, and worse fit in the process of weaving (wrench). At the same time, the paper seams are much more noticeable when twisting.
You can also make a casket with a hinged lid that will be closed on a hook or eyelet.
It is advisable to make the bottom of cardboard, as this will facilitate your work, but you can also weave it yourself.
Reference. The density of newsprint is 45-50 g / m2, and office in the region of 80g / m2.
In order to get to work, in addition to the material, you must prepare the tools:
Prepare all materials in advance, with a large number of newspaper sheets in stock.
Screw a large number of tubes to facilitate the work itself.
Caskets, woven with their own hands, quite beautiful and visually can not differ from the natural vine. Such products, depending on their size and shape, can be reassigned for storage: cosmetics, jewelry, keys, sewing sets, etc. For the manufacture of the box you need to prepare the material and tools in advance so that you do not distract from your work in the future.
To make the product neat, do not forget to fasten the tubes to the form and carefully tie each twig.
Use a small metal knitting needle or crochet to gently thread the tubing and tie beautiful knots.
Important. The more tubes prepared, the better.
The box, woven from newspaper tubes and decorated to your liking, looks very tender and original.
As a bottom, you can use either a woven base or take cardboard as the base of the product. To give shape, it is recommended to use a template to which the tubes will be attached in the future. As a template, you can use almost any object (book, notebook, box, etc.). Depending on the item, you can make rectangular, square and round caskets. The process of weaving step by step is as follows.
Each needlewoman is obliged to have such a vintage box, because it is very practical to place any set for needlework in it.
Such caskets will be useful for storing cosmetics and much more.
Reference. The lid for the casket from newspapers is performed on the same principle, but the external dimensions should be 1 cm larger than the main product.
It is not difficult to weave such caskets.
Wicker box can be your favorite thing in the interior and a subject for storing personal belongings.
With the help of newspaper tubes, you can weave a housekeeper in the form of a sovushki.
The box "Owl" looks very original and interesting.
The final stage is the drying and installation of metal hooks.
To select a decorative coating it is necessary to consider the properties of paints. Watercolors and gouache paints are recommended for coating blanks. Aquarelle is characterized by fading after application, and gouache has bright shades, but also needs to be diluted with water.
In such a casket, it is easy to keep any small thing, as it can be used instead of candy or key house.
Acrylic is used for the finished product, and wood varnish can also be used. Acrylic gives gloss, and lacquer gives the strength of the product and the effect of this vine.
Photos of beautiful products made by skilled needlewomen will allow you to be inspired to create your own casket from newspaper tubes.
