Weaving from the vine from ancient times brought people benefits. Currently, the craft has changed and turned into one of the types of needlework, which is called weaving from newspaper tubes. Although the material has changed, but the technique remained the same. This kind of needlework is a very famous, common and exciting occupation. It allows from newspapers, which are usually simply thrown out, create something beautiful and useful, for example, baskets, vases, plates, and so on. There are several ways of weaving different patterns. Let's analyze a lightweight stem weaving from newspaper tubes, master class on the example of creating a basket for flowers.
Create tubes
Creating all braided products start with newspaper tubes - this is the most difficult work point.
It must be remembered that a dense magazine paper is perfect for large products, as it holds the shape, and for small products it will be better to use fine newspaper paper.
To create, we will need:
- Newspapers;
- Glue;
- Scissors, brush and stationery knife;
- Clothespins to fix the tubes;
- Staining materials;
- Spokes and spanks.
First we study, in what direction the newspaper is most well twisted: along the long side or short. To do this, put it on a wet surface, after that the newspaper instantly begins to twist one of the parties. On this flow and you need to cut it.
A newspaper cut on long strips of rectangular shape. For small products - six or seven centimeters width, for large - eight or a petition centimeters. To the bottom corner of the rectangle put the knitting needle and twist the tube, carefully and carefully pressing the paper over the entire length.
When we twist the tube to the end, it must be fixed the lump of the glue, we apply it to the reverse free corner and we should glue it to the workpiece. After that, pull the needle, and the tube is completed.

Fully twisted the tube, fix it with the help of glue, apply it to the opposite free corner and tightly pressed it to the workpiece. Take out the needle. The tube is ready.
There are cases when the tubes must be increasing. To do this, the 1st of the tubes need to cut the sharp angle and then wrap it with glue, insert it into another tube for several centimeters.
You can paint the tubes in various ways. It is possible to paint the finished product using any paints of water-diluted with water, paint from the canister or with the help of brushes and sponges. And it is possible to paint each tube separately, including and dip in the paint, and already after weave the product. After painting apply a water-based simile. You need to dry on the lattice, folding on each other in the form of a lunite. And the finished product is better handled with varnish. It is also possible to mix the varnish with paint and combining these either procedures.
The terminal weaving is one of the easiest, subject to beginners, however, it requires caution and concentration, and so that the product is beautiful and neat, you need to follow several rules:
- We use the form;
- We make each tube flat, rolling the rolling pin;
- The number of the powered tubes - the basics should be odd to observe the chess order;
- You need to press the tube to form, using the clothespins.
Weave floral basket
Creating a small, ordinary color basket will take a very little time.
There are several dozen unpainted tubes from newspapers and form. You can take a glass. Jug or small glass vase. If you want to do without a form, then in each tube you need to insert a thin wire to save the shape.
With the help of a roller, we make all the tubes flat. To work it easier, you can periodically make the blanks with springs with water, such tubes become more elastic.

Weaving start from the bottom. Take 6 long tubes and put their cross-cross-time 3 pieces. If necessary, fastened with clothespins.
Now we take another tube, fold it in half and skip the base between the tubes, at the same time the flexing of the base tubes on the various sides to be "sun" with the rays on one distance from each other.
So create the bottom of the desired diameter. After that, we put on it the shape and bending the base tube up and fix with clothespins. If the wire is used, then you do not need to put a form, just bending the blanks up and independently create contours.
Now we will determine the walls of the future product. To do this, you need to leave the resulting "standing" in a checker, passing the tubes and alternating under and above them. We do it most tight to each other so that there are no cracks, the difference in the height and chances. We often check the height throughout the perimeter.
When we get to the end of the product, carefully bend and cut off the blanks that stick out, and hide all the edges. If you want, you can make a decorative braid Torch Vase. After that, you can paint the finished product in any color, or leave in original form.
