Six-pointed star from newspaper tubes. DIY crafts from newspaper tubes: Christmas tree, rooster, star, box
To make a star newspaper tubes necessary:
Old magazines / newspapers; - stationery knife; - hot glue, glue stick; - golden or silver gouache + brush; - PVA glue; - sequins; - knitting needle / skewer. Newspaper star step by step: Take a magazine / newspaper and cut into strips about 5 cm wide using stationery knife(photo 1). Then take one of the strips and wind it on a wooden skewer placed at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, as shown in photo 2. At the end of the twisting, smear the corner with a glue stick so that the tube cannot then unwind (photo 3). Then remove the skewer and the tube is ready. Make enough of these tubes. AT this case t one star took 5 tubes about 31 cm long. Paint the tubes with golden or silver gouache. Leave them to dry for about 20-30 minutes (photo 4). Next, mark on the straw every 5 cm (5, 10, 15) and after the 3rd mark, mark 0.5-1 cm (photo 5). Bend the tube according to these marks and cut the rest of 0.5-1 cm obliquely or with a corner to simplify the process of gluing it into the other end of the tube (photo 6-7). Glue the beginning to the end of the tube by inserting the 0.5-1 cm left by you after the third mark into the other end of the tube. As a result, you will get an equilateral triangle. Make two such triangles (Pic 8). Lay one triangle crosswise on top of the other and glue them, as shown in photo 9. As a result, you will get a six-pointed star ... Then take another newspaper tube and glue its tip to one of the intersections of the triangles, as shown in photo 10. Next, wrap the star newspaper tubes, passing them at the intersection of triangles (photo 11). There is no definite sequence here, so proceed further at your discretion (photo 12). If the tube suddenly runs out, and you still need to wrap, then you can build up the missing one without any problems. Why take another tube and insert one of its ends into the other, which is already wound with a tube, fasten them with glue. When finished, hide the tip of the tube, also fixing it with glue.

New Year's Eve is just around the corner, so you need to prepare in advance for this event. It is impossible to imagine a holiday without a Christmas tree, gifts, tinsel, garlands, as well as a symbol of any New Year - a Christmas star. You can buy it in the store, or you can make a star on the Christmas tree yourself. Today let's try to weave such a New Year's toy star from paper tubes. So let's get started. And here's what we need:
- about ten tubes;
- PVA glue;
- ruler;
- varnish on water based;
- clothespins for fixing the tubes in the process of weaving.
How to make a star on a Christmas tree. Option one.
For the first option, we need paper straws, which we can wind up from notebook sheets or old newspapers. Use a knitting needle to twist. If you remember, we prepared such tubes in the MK for weaving strollers. Then you need to paint these tubes. Just do not overdo it, otherwise the paint tubes will become brittle.
How to weave a star from newspaper tubes
Take three tubes and glue them together, getting one long tube. Using a ruler, make five marks about 9 cm each. This process is shown in the photo. You can take larger segments, then the star from newspaper tubes will turn out to be larger, but for example, it was decided to take a length of 9 cm.
Pieces of tubes 
Glue and bend the tube When all five ends are bent, we fix the beginning of weaving with PVA glue and clothespins. Then, as can be seen in the next photo, we weave a star, laying a newspaper tube in the same way as the first row, then, laying the second row parallel to the first. In the future, to make a star with your own hands, you can use a clothespin that will tightly hold the working tube to the previous row.
Weaving the next row The photo shows how the working tube is built up. It is also shown how the upper tip of the star is braided with a tube and the tube descends parallel down in order to braid the next crown.
Next, we begin to braid the tops It is worth noting that in the case of segments with a length of about 9 cm, three rows of star braiding will be obtained. The longer the distance between the segments, the more rows you get.
First row of braiding tops The photo shows the first row of braiding a star.
Second row of braiding 
We hide the end of the tube inside the weave

This direction of creativity in end times became more than popular. Having understood the basic principle of weaving, you will create a lot of interesting things. Unusual crafts from newspaper tubes are now in vogue among craftswomen. These are vases, figurines, and baskets - up to furniture. But first of all, the material needs pre-treatment with the creation of blanks.
Making a newspaper vine
cute wicker decorative elements many would not refuse to decorate the interior, but real vine products are very expensive. They help out With their own hands, with the proper level of skill, you can build truly chic souvenirs.
First of all, it is required to prepare the working material, that is, the tubes themselves. For the manufacture of each of them, narrow paper strips. Try to stock up more blanks. What will be needed? In addition to the newspapers themselves - a knitting needle, paints desired colors and a bottle with a wide neck.
Work technology
Many, many newspaper strips are the basis of any newspaper tube craft. It is easy to cut them with your own hands, it is better to do it across the sheets, the longitudinal ribbons will come out too long for neat folding. With a knitting needle wrapped in such a strip, the tube is twisted. As a result, we should have a certain number of thin long blanks.
While our tubes are rather nondescript - gray color. And we need to color them in the colors we need. It is better to do this before weaving, so as not to spoil the finished craft.
How to paint blanks correctly
We need quite a lot of tubes, it takes a long time to paint them, but here's a secret from real masters - the paint diluted with water is poured into a bottle by more than half the volume. Then a pack of prepared tubes is inserted into the neck, tightly closing it. The bottle is shaken sharply up and down, while the paint does not flow out or splatter due to the tightly sealed neck.
Or they overturn the container once, while the lower half of the blanks is stained. Then the tubes are taken out, inserted into the bottle with the other side and the procedure is repeated. Thus, the work goes quite quickly, and within, for example, half an hour, several hundred blanks can be obtained, which is quite enough for a large product.
How to make a box or basket of newspapers
The most simple craft of this kind - a container in the shape of a square. For example, crafts and a basket are considered the easiest. A structure that has correct form easy to make and perfect for beginners. Children can also train on it.
What to take? The rolled tubes themselves (high-quality dyed), cardboard square not big size, scissors and glue. First of all, several blanks are glued to the square base, for which their ends must be fixed on it with intervals of about 1.5 cm between them.
How to bind newspaper vine
Then the newspaper sticks are bent so that they point upwards. Having prepared the basis of the box or basket, we take directly to weaving. We take one of the sticks and alternately pass it between the vertical tubes with different parties. The blank ends - we attach the next one to it (we put it on top), for reliability, dropping a little PVA glue. So little by little, all prepared tubes are woven into the product.
Upon reaching the desired height, the tip of the last tube is hidden, all excess is cut off and fixed. The result is an interesting box.
The lid to it is also made in the same way, then the container is suitable for storing all kinds of useful little things. In a large box or basket, it is convenient to keep skeins of knitting thread.
From simple to complex
Having honed your skills, you can move on to products irregular shape. Individual craftsmen find all new ideas. From newspaper tubes - such a seemingly simple material - they manage to create simply incredible vases, and from thick and durable tubes - pieces of furniture. For example, original shelves for light souvenirs.
Extend the service life of such products by additionally coating them with varnish. With a little practice, you can achieve an amazing resemblance to a real vine.
We make a Christmas tree from newspaper tubes: a master class
A festive Christmas tree will decorate the interior in winter holidays and give good mood. The reason for such crafts may be homework child at school in the lesson of labor. The scheme of the Christmas tree is quite simple, does not require a lot of time and material costs. It is easy to decorate it - the flight of fancy in this case is not limited by anything.
Besides creative potential your baby will receive further development as well as fine manual motor skills. A is installed finished Christmas tree from newspaper tubes anywhere: on dining table, veranda and even in the car.
Let's start working
First, as always, we prepare everything you need. These are tubes from newspapers, a leaf thick cardboard(the shade is not important), a well-sharpened simple pencil, sharp scissors, watercolor or gouache (paints produced in spray cans are convenient), as well as a glue stick (as an option - PVA).
They begin to make any crafts from newspaper tubes with their own hands, we remind you again, with winding narrow strips newspapers on a long and thin knitting needle at an angle of 45 ° and fixing each tip with glue. After it dries, we take out the knitting needle, paint the dried tube in the intended color. Spectacular will be a golden or silver hue herringbone.
Base cone
First, we prepare the cardboard base of the product. We fold the dense sheet and fix it with PVA in the form of a cone. Its dimensions are up to you. The second sheet goes to cut a circle of the appropriate diameter - as a bottom. Glued on top even number newspaper tubes (in the form sun rays). To make the glue more securely fixed, it is recommended to press it down with a press from above.
We place the prepared cone in the center of our sun. Now you can move on to the actual weaving of the Christmas tree.
One option...
It can be done different ways- there are quite a few of them. First: similarly, along the standing cone, the rays are raised (it can be temporarily strengthened with a clerical rubber band), then they are twisted around with a new tube in a circle between the rays.
After doing 5 or 7 circles, the tip of the tube is removed and fixed with glue. The rays intersect, then the next circle is weaved with a slight digression. This is how we get to the top. We don't cross the beams anymore. We fix the ends, remove the bottom circle, tuck the ends of each beam inward.
...and the second
The other way is also easy. The base is the same, but the rays do not strengthen with an elastic band. Weaving counterclockwise. New straw weave, shifting and fixing with the previous one, the next one - in the same way. So in a circle to the crown.
Decorating a Christmas tree from newspaper tubes is very interesting. If you didn’t paint the blanks before weaving, you can now spray on our craft spray paint. We place an angel or a star on the top of the dried Christmas tree (we will tell you how to make it below). Instead of balls, we take shiny multi-colored beads. You can even wrap our Christmas tree with a flashing garland.
Rooster from newspaper tubes
Materials for manufacturing - the same as in the previous descriptions. And the technology of work looks like this:
1. Having cut the newspaper into strips, twisted the required number of thin tubes with a knitting needle and painted them in bright "rooster" colors, put ten blanks together. We twist the one in the middle three times around the bundle, which is divided in half. The tip stays on the side.
2. Both halves are braided in the form of a figure eight. One of the bunches is the tail of our cockerel. We straighten and flatten the tubes. The second is the neck, we braid it with the end of the same middle tube.
3. We make craft beak, bending it in the middle and weaving it into the neck. We make three more turns over it, hide the tip.
4. We make the stand from a separate workpiece, winding it around lower part our beam and fixing with glue. Take a knife and cut off the protruding ends. In the middle part of the figurine, we should have wings, we make them from three bent multi-colored tubes inserted into the hole expanded with a knitting needle. Rooster from newspaper tubes is ready!
New Year continues
It's time to decorate our Christmas tree. And what is traditionally decorated New Year's beauty? That's right, a star. And now we will tell you how to make it.
A star from newspaper tubes is made as follows: we stock up on blanks in the amount of about ten, a ruler, PVA glue, water-based varnish. We will also take clothespins to hold the tubes in the process of weaving.
We make a Christmas tree star
As in other products from newspaper tubes, the master class begins with the preparation of material. Let's get started. By twisting the tubules notebook sheets or unnecessary newspapers and having painted, we glue three of them together into one long blank. We mark the marks with a ruler about nine centimeters apart. Then we proceed to the formation of a star. At each mark, we bend the tube so that a figure in the form of a five-pointed star emerges.
Having received all five rays, we fix the joint with glue and a clothespin. Then we continue to work, repeating in parallel the second row, which is pressed tightly against the finished one with clothespins. The tops are braided. You can also increase the third row, but for more, the segments should be larger. Then the working tube is cut off with the tip hidden.
finishing touches
For strength, the finished star from newspaper tubes is smeared with glue and covered with a layer of varnish. It is recommended to lightly sprinkle the toy with multi-colored sparkles. Such an asterisk can be given as a souvenir to a relative or friend. And you can decorate it, for example, hang it by the fireplace along with red boots. Winter crafts from newspaper tubes leave a wide scope for the most different ideas. In a word - fantasize!
We want to continue to your attention another idea for decorating Christmas tree. So, watch a master class on making an asterisk from their newspaper tubes.
To make a star from newspaper tubes, you need:
Old magazines / newspapers;
Stationery knife;
Hot glue, glue stick;
Golden or silver gouache + brush;
PVA glue;
sequins;
Knitting needle / skewer.
Star from newspaper tubes step by step:
Take a magazine / newspaper and cut into strips about 5 cm wide with a clerical knife (photo 1). Then take one of the strips and wind it on a wooden skewer placed at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, as shown in photo 2. At the end of the twisting, smear the corner with a glue stick so that the tube cannot then unwind (photo 3). Then remove the skewer and the tube is ready. Make enough of these tubes. In this case, 5 tubes about 31 cm long took one star. Paint the tubes with golden or silver gouache. Leave them to dry for about 20-30 minutes (photo 4).
Next, mark on the straw every 5 cm (5, 10, 15) and after the 3rd mark, mark 0.5-1 cm (photo 5). Bend the tube according to these marks and cut the rest of 0.5-1 cm obliquely or with a corner to simplify the process of gluing it into the other end of the tube (photo 6-7). Glue the beginning to the end of the tube by inserting the 0.5-1 cm left by you after the third mark into the other end of the tube. As a result, you will get an equilateral triangle. Make two such triangles (Pic 8).
Lay one triangle crosswise on top of the other and glue them together, as shown in photo 9. As a result, you will get a six-pointed star ..
Then take another newspaper tube and glue its tip to one of the intersections of the triangles, as shown in photo 10. Next, wrap the asterisk with newspaper tubes, passing them at the intersections of the triangles (photo 11). There is no definite sequence here, so proceed further at your discretion (photo 12).
If the tube suddenly runs out, and you still need to wrap, then you can build up the missing one without any problems. Why take another tube and insert one of its ends into the other, which is already wound with a tube, fasten them with glue. When finished, hide the tip of the tube, also fixing it with glue.
