With the help of the now popular weaving of newspapers, you can make a chest, a basket , a vase and many other different crafts. In the article you will learn how to make a house using the tubes from the newspaper.

Master class - a house made of newspaper tubes

Would need:

  1. From the cardboard we cut out two identical hexagons.
  2. To one of them along the edge we glue the tubes at a distance of 1.5-2 cm. From the top we glue the second hexagon. We got a bottom with vertical bases for weaving.
  3. We make on the length of the side of the hexagon the sides of the house of cardboard or dense sheets of the magazine. We fasten them together with glue or clips.
  4. We put the preparation of the walls on the bottom. Tube pick up vertically and secure with clothespins for the upper edge.
  5. We begin to braid the bottom of the wall with an ordinary rope made of two tubes. We do so 4 rows around the perimeter of the house.
  6. In the center of each side of the sides we leave 5 tubes free, and with the rest we work. We make the weave "chintz" separately on each corner group of vertical tubes, and we have six (in the number of corners), stopping at a height 2-3 cm from the top.
  7. At the top make 4 rows of weaving rope of two tubes around the entire contour of the house, weaving all the left loose tubes.
  8. We remove the base box and hide the upper ends. Left in the center of the sides of the tube in the openings cut in the middle and also hide.
  9. Cut out a thick circle of paper, suitable for a roof diameter. We cut from one side to the center and fasten it so that a wide cone is obtained.
  10. We take 4 times 4 tubes each. We twist them, as shown in the picture. This will be the basis for the roof.
  11. We select the first tube from the base and begin to do the weaving of the "chintz" in a circle, then continue with free tubes, repeating the shape of the roof. For work, we must have an odd number of tubes-bases.
  12. When we reach half, then we retreat some distance and start the weaving again. After 6 rows for the last two we attach additional tubes.
  13. Next, continue to work until the roof will not go beyond the walls. We fix everything, and cut the ends along the edge at the same distance.
  14. You can paint all the paint or varnish.
  15. We connect the roof with the walls, and our summer house is ready.

With this scheme of weaving from newspaper tubes, you can make a tea house, and a variety of houses for dolls and animals.
