Newspapers and magazines in our homes, as a rule, accumulate a lot. Someone throws them out, someone burns, and the most cunning make of them funny and cute little things that adorn the interior. Few people know that it is possible to make a Christmas tree out of ordinary newspaper tubes.
Christmas tree from the newspaper
Before we begin to weave Christmas trees from newspaper tubes, you need to screw these very tubes. To do this, follow the instructions.
- We cut newspaper strips with a stationery knife. First, we cut the sheets into A3 format, then fold them in half and cut them again.
- We take the needle and tightly wind the newspaper on it at an angle of 45 degrees.
- At the tip of the newspaper we apply glue, and twist it all to the end.
- Remove the spoke.
- Now you can immediately use these straws for weaving, or you can paint for the beginning.
We begin to weave a Christmas tree from newspaper tubes.
Materials:
- tubules;
- cardboard;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- paint;
- spoke.
Let's get to work.
- From the cardboard we make the foundation-cone of the Christmas tree, which we will braid the newspaper.
- From another piece of cardboard we cut out a circle and paste on it "rays" newspaper tubes. For better fixing from above, you can put a press. The number of "rays" should be even.
- We put the cooked cone on the center of our "sun" and lift all the tubes upward. If necessary, you can take an elastic band and fix the whole structure.
- We take a new tube and begin to braid it around the "rays". Make 5-6 circles.
- Cross the "rays" between each other, and at the height of 7-8 cm begin to weave new circles.
- After reaching the vertex, fix everything with glue.
- Now you can remove the circle on which the entire creation stands. Pipes from below, inward, using a spoke.
- It remains only to paint the Christmas tree.
