You need to start from the foundation. Glue pre-prepared four pairs of long tubes in the form of a web.

We start weaving to fix, glue the ends of the first tube together. Making the bottom, every two stakes, we glue the ends of the tubes for strength. For the first time, you can simplify the work, cut the bottom out of cardboard and glue the tubes on it.

Starting to weave the side walls, place a vessel inside that fits in diameter to the basket, this will facilitate the work. When the basket has reached the desired height, bend the ends to form a beautiful rim.

The manufacturing process takes place by horizontal weaving on vertical tubes that come out from the base.

Vase

Easy to make flower vase that will need a cardboard base from a roll of paper towels to shape the vase.

Manufacturing:

Prepare a sufficient number of tubes from newspapers. Apply PVA glue to the cardboard base and glue the tubes vertically, keep in mind that the tubes should be longer and completely cover the cardboard.

Cut the top evenly, or give another original shape. When the glue is completely dry, varnish using a brush.

When the work skills are more refined, you can start making crafts of irregular shapes. You can even make pieces of furniture. To make them durable, they are varnished.

Master class crafts from tubes "Stool"

Prepare:

• Cardboard.
• Newspaper tubes.
• Glue.

Weaving pattern:

Place the cardboard under the chair, cut to the desired size, this will serve as the bottom of the future chair. Glue the tubes quite tightly onto the cardboard base, glue them at a slight angle at the bend.

Raise the tubes to the top. Fix the support with several tubes, and hide their tips in the middle. For work, as additional means, use clothespins, threads.

When you finish the fourth row, you can already use two tubes at the same time. Accordingly, the bottom and the stand of the chair are ready. Then we weave the seat, only one tube is used.

The back of the chair is woven on the left side, gradually narrowing towards the top. The excess ends are cut off and hidden in the middle. Armrests can be attached to the chair. Be sure to varnish, for the strength of the chair.

Having honed your skills, and having learned how to cope well with this type of material, you can create unusual and original things.
