How to make a simple product in this technique

To get a closer look at the weaving, you can make a simple box for a start. For work you will need:

• newspapers, magazines or the usual cheapest paper;
• glue PVA;
• acrylic paint and varnish;
• scissors, clerical knife;
• box as the basis for weaving;
• two sheets of cardboard for the bottom;
• knitting needle;
• clothespins or rubber band for fixing the racks;
• pencil, ruler for marking strips.

The course of weaving

Next weave the newspaper tubules for beginners in stages.

Preparation of tubes from the newspaper

. Paper should be strung into strips 7-10 cm and cut. Then make a tube. For this, the newspaper strip is wound on the spoke at an angle, the tip is sealed.

So do with all the stripes.

It is necessary to try the tubes to make one thickness along the entire length. Or, at least, that the width of one end is not much different from the other. For the production of tubules, heavy paper can not be used, since it is difficult to weave from them.

Execution of the bottom

From the cardboard make two rectangles according to the size of the bottom of the box. On one rectangle, fix the paper tubes.

The second part of the bottom is glued from above.

Of the glued sticks, the pillars are bent, around which we will continue to weave. Racks are fixed on the basis of clothespins or an elastic band. The usual box is suitable as a basis. It is inserted inside the future box to maintain the shape.

Weaving Technique

The work tube is attached with adhesive between the two posts. Weave the first row, placing a paper vine either in front or behind the pillars. The next 1-2 rows weave as well.

Then, in the 4-6th row, the tube is allowed to be reversed.

So alternate in 3 rows. In the process of work more than once you have to build up the convolutions by inserting one into the other.

Preliminary, their ends are coated with glue. Then weave to the desired height. Then the ends of the tubes are filled under 3 rows, as shown in the photo.

Cover Manufacturing

Weave 3 rows in alternation, as described above. At the end, the tips are leveled.

Coloring the finished box

If the top of the product is still varnished in several layers, then it will be stronger. If desired, the handicraft is decorated with beads, ribbons, appliqués - that's enough for fantasy.
