Do you have a lot of newspapers at home? Don't you know what to do with them? I can help you, here is the pattern of stylish basket, which will be a perfect decoration to any of your rooms.

So let's start.

Basket from Newspapers

You'll need:

Newspapers
Jar
CA glue
Brush
Scissors
Knitting needle
Ruler
Cardboard
Acrylic paint
Graphite pencil

Take a newspaper and use a ruler to divide it into longitudinal strips. The width of the strips is 9 cm each.

Make stripes from newspaper tubes.

Take a knitting needle and wrap a newspaper strip so that the needle lies obliquely in relation to the newspaper.

Twist the newspaper into a tube, grease the end with glue.

Make 30 newspaper tubes.

Put the jar onto the cardboard.

Circle the base of the jar with a graphite pencil.

Cut 2 same circles.

Take 16 tubes (for carcass).

Flatten the edge of the tube by 3 cm.

Take a circle and apply glue around the edge.

Glue the tubes along the edges with a tapered end.

Glue the second circle on top. Wait for it to dry completely.

Take a tube with a tapered end and glue to the edge of the circle.

Slide it on the right from the outside for the next tube inward.

From the inside, take it by another tube out.

Repeat this process until the tube runs out.

Then glue the other tube to the end of the tube with a tapered edge.

Weaving a basket of newspaper tubes

The remaining ends of the tubes must be removed. Trim the ends or paste them inside the basket.

Paint the basket with acrylic paint in 3 layers. Follow the rules! Each coat must dry before applying the next.

A basket is the simplest type of weaving. If you succeed, you can proceed to more complex types of weaving from newspaper tubes.
