Master class of New Year's toys from newspaper tubes

Let's get to work. We twist the tubes in the usual way. We cut the prepared magazine or newspaper into strips. And with the help of a knitting needle we turn the tube. We glue the edge with glue - a pencil. We prepare the required number of tubes that will be needed to weave the toy.

Let's move on to weaving. To do this, we will need three long tubes, take 6 tubes and connect them in two.

We stack them on top of each other in the form of a snowflake.

We press the tubes together. And mentally divide the tubes into numbers. Top left-to-right from 1 to 3, and bottom, also to the left, from 4 to 6.

Since the lowest tube is number 2, we will start with it. We put it on top of 4. Placing it between the fourth and fifth.

Then we put the first on the fifth. Placing it among 5 and 6.

Then again we take the fifth and put it on top of the first. Leaving it between 1 and 6.

Now we take the first and direct it between the sixth and the third. Take the 6 tube and wrap it around the first and put it on the fourth.

And now we begin the usual spiral weaving.

Weave several rows tightly. We put the tube on the knot.

Now let's make an extension. To do this, we lay the tube not on the knot, but parallel to the one with which we will wrap.

This is how we gradually expand our Christmas tree toy.

We knit to the required size.

Then we need to weave a couple of rows, laying the tube on a knot.

Now it's time to shrink the toy. To do this, we will impose the tubes not on the knot, but retreating 0.5-1 cm inward.

So, we continue to weave.

Weaving is considered one of the oldest ways of needlework. If earlier only a vine was used to make a product, now craftsmen can create true masterpieces from a variety of improvised materials. Weaving from newspaper tubes is a special kind of creativity that allows you not only to get rid of old newspapers, but also to make a variety of crafts, to spend time in an exciting and useful way.

Weaving is considered one of the oldest ways of needlework.

Even novice creators can weave a beautiful, original vase. The technique is quite simple, and if you master it, you can move to the next level and create unusual things that will definitely find application in everyday life.

• newspapers;
• jar;

10. Glue another prepared newspaper vine to the bottom and bring it into the near right frame tube.
11. Grasp the next vine from the inside.
12. By this principle, weave a whole series.
13. When the material used for weaving runs out, you need to insert the next one into its end and continue to weave further.
14. Before the start of the second row, insert a jar into the workpiece.
15. Continue weaving until the desired height of the product is reached.
16. Cut off the remaining tip obliquely and carefully bring it inward, be sure to fix it with glue.

Preface.
From newspapers, you can create very beautiful and unusual items, both for decoration and for household needs. Weaving from newspapers comes from wicker weaving. But weaving from newspapers gives the product a beautiful decorative look, since newspaper tubes can be dyed in any color.
After looking at the works of Richard Bernaus, Natalia Sorokina and Elena Tishchenko, one cannot but be inspired. Making crafts from newspaper tubes by watching video tutorials is quite simple. We gain patience and start with the simplest forms and types of weaving.
Progress:
You need to take pieces of newspaper, approximately 7-8 centimeters wide (we lay out the newspaper along the length and divide it into 4 parts). We twist the strips into tubes using a knitting needle. Glue the ends.

When they are all dry, you can start creating the bottom. Someone puts the tubes under the press. It is necessary to paint over the surface with paint of the color that you liked. Paint the tubes with color with water. After painting, you need to wait for drying.
We take a box, cut out two side walls for the bottom of such a size as the bottom of an empty box, in order to put the box on the workpiece. We glue the cardboard with napkins on one side.

We take scissors and double-sided tape (or glue).

We glue double-sided tape to the bottom of our future box along the edges on 4 sides and on the sides in the middle to glue another similar blank.

We glue the tubes along the edge at a distance of about 2 cm. We connect and glue both cardboards, i.e. one with newspaper tubes and the other without them. Leave overnight under pressure.

We raise the tubes to the top, now these are our risers. In order to weave an even basket or box, you need to take a box that will allow more even weaving. First weave with a simple rope of two purple tubes. We begin to weave by folding the tube into two unequal parts so that it catches on the riser. You can make an edge so that no holes can be seen from below.

Weave 5 rows in purple. One red. Then we glue or thread tubes of different colors between the pattern to each stand (in this example, 1 red-2 green-2 yellow-1 red-2 yellow-2 green and so on in a circle). The glued newspaper tube must be brought behind the counter, and the other left in front of the counter. And now we are doing the opposite, that is, we need to pass the second tube behind the second rack, and leave the first one in front of the rack. Thus, changing the tubes in places, we continue to weave.

We weave rows 18-20 in layers on the first under the second. For beginners, of course, it’s better to watch a video tutorial, since it’s hard to explain in words how you weave. We start weaving, for example, with a red tube. We take it and go around one pair of racks in front and wind up behind the next main rack. We take the next (green or yellow, depending on which pattern) tube, go around the main rack in front and start behind the next one, continuing the entire row.

In the middle, we again repeat the pattern with a string of purple. When one tube ends, you just need to carefully insert the next tube into the hole and continue the process until you have woven the required number of rows. Violet in the middle of the 3rd row.

Then again layer-by-layer weaving for about 18 rows. Weave in the opposite direction. Braid the ends. To prevent the corners from “leaving”, you can use clothespins. At the very end of the weaving, cut or glue the remnants and hook with a clothespin.

Let's move on to the lid. The same manufacturing process as the bottom. Stands can be taken shorter in length. We weave the edge in purple, then 3 rows in green (others can also be used). And the last row is again red, green, yellow, so that the pattern on the lid merges with the pattern on the box. We cover with a colorless varnish for baths and saunas.

What a beautiful decor for the New Year's decoration of the house. Such a Christmas tree can be made from materials that are likely to be found in every home.

For work we need:

How to twist the tubes and some types of weaving can be seen in more detail.

Stages of work

First, draw a circle on cardboard (or on any thick sheet of paper, I have a cover from an old magazine) (I have a circle diameter of 13 cm) and make a hole around the hole at a distance of 1.5-2 cm (photo 1). I got 20 holes.

We attach the cone to the circle on the cardboard (to make the construction heavier, I put a champagne bottle in the cone) and insert the tubes into the holes (for the racks I took office paper tubes - they are stronger) - photo 3.

Before inserting the tube, we bend the tip of it, as in photo 4.

Under the whole structure, I put a sheet of paper, so it will be more convenient to rotate the product, the curved tips remain between the sheets (photo 5).

We increase the racks to achieve the required height. We fasten all the tubes at the top with an elastic band (photo 6).

We take a green working tube (the working tubes should be wet), bend it in half and apply it to the rack (photo 7).

Weave the first row with a “rope” (photo 8).

Then we add a third green tube and three more gray ones (Pic 9).

We weave one row with a “rope of three tubes” with paired tubes (photo 10).

So we weave only 6 rows (3 green and 3 gray) - photo 12.

Now we continue to weave with the same tubes, but we will start each one in front of three racks for the fourth (photo 13-14).

We should have 8 rows in total (photo 15).

And again we add the tubes to make three pairs (photo 16). We weave a row with a “rope of three pairs of tubes”.

Then we leave two gray tubes and weave (photo 17) with a “string” one row.

It should look like this (photo 18). The tubes are cut and glued.

Now we retreat from the last row about 2 cm, attach a gray working tube and weave one row with a “rope” (photo 19-20).

"Chittz" weaving 6 rows (photo 22).

10 rows - weaving in front of three racks for the fourth (photo 23).

We complete this part in the same way - a row of “rope of three pairs of tubes” and a row of “rope” of gray tubes (photo 24).

We retreat 2 cm and repeat the weaving: 1 row with a “rope” of gray tubes; 4 rows of "calico" weaving; 12 rows "in front of three racks for the fourth."

We also add tubes to weave a “rope of three pairs of tubes”, but when weaving we will cut off some racks. It is necessary to cut 5 racks - this means every fourth (photo 25). First we cut, and then weave a row with a “rope of three pairs of tubes”, distributing evenly the remaining racks and a row of “rope” with gray tubes.

Once again we retreat from the last row. We weave one glad with a "rope" of gray tubes. Two rows of "calico weave" (photo 26).

Weave the next rows in front of three racks for the fourth. After about 7 cm from the beginning of the fourth part of the tree, we cut a few more racks - every third (photo 27).

Weave another 3 cm with the same weave. Then we just wrap the top of the Christmas tree - this is another 5 cm (photo 28).

We cut off the ends of the racks, except for one (we will put a star on it), glue the ends of the tubes, clamp them with a clothespin so that they stick well - photo 29-32.

We take out our Christmas tree from the cardboard, remove the cone from it. Here's what happened (photo 33).

We fill the protruding tips, as in the photo 34-37.

Now we need to weave a star.

We put the star on the left rack (see photo 38).

Here we have such a beauty. We prime it (PVA glue + water 1: 1), let it dry well and apply varnish.

It remains to dress her up.

We decorate the Christmas tree with lace, ribbons and decorative balls (or any other decor). And the asterisk can be covered with a patina (apply white paint with a sponge).

Such a Christmas tree can be presented for the New Year. A very original gift! The real handmade product 🙂
