Materials necessary for weaving laundry baskets from newspaper tubes

Before you begin to weave the basket, you need to imagine what it should be. It is necessary to take into account such parameters as shape, height and density of weaving. If there are difficulties with this, then you can take as a model a bucket or a box of the required size.

How to make newspaper tubes?

When creating a laundry basket, paper is used, which is a substitute for the vine. Therefore, before starting work, it is necessary to prepare newspaper tubes. Sequence of actions:

  • The sheets of the newspaper must be made in A4 format. It is the size of the album sheet that is optimal and amounts to 21x30 cm.
  • Each prepared leaf must be cut into three leaves along, then the size of one sheet will be 7x30 cm.
  • Using a stationery knife, you can quickly and accurately make a large number of leaves of the required size. Such a knife will make smooth edges, eliminate traces of paper fibers. In the future, each strip will become a tube.
  • You need to sort the sheets. Divide them into two piles: with printed text and with white stripes, which are always on the edges of newspaper sheets. This preparation will make the white tubes from the strips that were on the edges of the newspaper sheet, the rest of the tubes will need to be painted.
  • Take one strip and positively it vertically, with the white side should be on the right.
  • Place the needle at the bottom left at an angle of about 30 degrees, and start winding the sheet on it. When there is only 1 cm of strip, use a glue to fix the tube.
  • Next, do the same with colored newsprint. The only thing that you need to try to hide in the middle of all the dark areas.
  • After the work you will get the same tubes of paper, the length of which will be slightly more than 30 cm.
  • A distinctive feature of each tube will be one pointed and another edge in the form of a bell. This allows you to connect several tubes together, applying glue, to get a long stick that resembles a vine.

Paint of tubes

Before you start painting the tubes, you need to prepare a workstation. Take a small tray and lay polyethylene on it. On it you can dry the "vine" after painting. Prepare the stain and put the gloves on your hands.

You can work immediately with 10 tubes. Put them into the stain for 3-5 seconds. Then lower it with the other end. Each tube after the paint should be carefully laid out on the tray, leaving some distance between the "vines".When the tray is full, then you can put the tubes on top of the "woodpile".

For complete drying, leave a tray with tubes for 12 hours. It is better to avoid additional sources of heat, because drastic drying can make the tubes dry, they will lose their plasticity.

Weaving baskets of different shapes

Square

To create a woven basket of newspaper tubes of a square shape, you need to start with the formation of the bottom in the form of a square.

So, first you need to take a strip of cardboard, taking into account that the bottom of the basket will be slightly smaller than the cardboard. Then fold it in half. Using a punch hole, make small holes in the cardboard, the distance between which should not be more than 2 cm. A long "working vine" must be inserted into the holes.

Now you can start weaving the bottom of the basket. A long tube should be weaved next to the cardboard paper. When weaving reaches the edge, then you need to make a turn, and produce a weave in the opposite direction. To the "working vine" does not end, you always need to extend it - to paste newspaper tubes. Under special control, it is necessary to keep the size of the bottom, since its width may be narrowed. This creates a square bottom of the correct size.

Visually, this process, look in the following video.

Next you can proceed to weaving the side walls of the basket. There are already two vines of the future skeleton, therefore it is necessary to make two more walls. To do this, you need to take a long newspaper tube, bend it in half and stick it with two ends into the bottom of the basket. Tails that appear on the underside of the bottom should be bent upward and secured. Thus, a stable frame is obtained. Depending on the desired height of the basket, it is necessary to create a "working vine" of the desired size.

For reliable fixing of the basket walls it is necessary to take a heavy object of the shape of the future product and put it in the center. Further to it, with the help of elastic bands, fastens the tubes of the frame. For a square basket it is very important to create smooth edges. When weaving products of a different shape, you can do without a sample inside.

Weave should be started from the bottom of the basket. You need to take a long tube and weave it into one of the sides, while alternating the position of the vertical tubes, hold in front and behind. In this way it is necessary to form all the walls.

At the beginning of the weaving, the end of the "working vine" remains, in the future it will be used as one of the elements of the frame. It allows you to create an odd number of vertical tubes. After each series, the free end must be braided. The process of weaving the side walls occurs in a circle, until you get a basket of the right size.

Simple way of weaving the walls with a "rope" pattern, see the video below.

Rectangular

To create a basket of rectangular shape, you must start with weaving a rectangular bottom. It is necessary to create a pattern of cardboard for the bottom of the basket. Then place it on the edge of the finished tube and secure the structure with the clothespins. Then, on the base, you need to put the paper tubes across, while in turn each "vine" should go under or above the base, adhering to the necessary density of weaving. For a while, the construction should be covered with another newspaper tube and fixed with clothespins. The bottom will remember the comb, so further it is necessary to weave new tubes, adhering to the chess order, to create the necessary density of the bottom. When the bottom gets the necessary density, the clothespins can be removed, because it will already hold the mold itself. The width of the bottom depends entirely on the size of the pattern. When weaving the bottom, there will be so-called rays that will later be used as the basis of the skeleton. Already with their help it will be possible to create side walls of the frame.

Round

The round basket is the most difficult to make, because it is worth trying hard to form a round bottom. The easiest way is "rope".You need to take six tubes and connect them together using pegs to create a single plane. Then this action is worth repeating. Ready-made planes must be crosswise.

Next, you need a "vine", which will be used for further weaving the product. It should be bent twice and put the fork near the ray that formed the "cross".At the corners of the working tube must be bent. You should skip the top down, and the bottom up, until you reach another ray of six tubes. Inflections should be performed at an angle of 90 degrees, and constantly change the lower and upper part of the "vine".This action must be done four times. As a result, you will get a ring, which should be fixed immediately using pegs.

After passing three circles, you need to take six tubes and move apart in pairs to form a flat surface. Further weaving by a working tube should be made through each two tubes. And again make three circles. It is necessary to perform the actions for breeding couples. You need to do the weaving before you create the base of the required size. The bottom of the round basket will resemble a sun, which consists of 24 rays.

Corner

Corner basket for angular shape helps to save space in the bathroom, so is in great demand in small rooms.

When weaving a corner basket for laundry from newspaper tubes, you should adhere to some rules because of the shape of the product:

  • For rack racks, it is better to use tubules from a whole sheet of paper for the printer or to take sheets from the magazine. Soft tubes from the newspaper can not hold the whole structure.
  • To create a flat bottom, you need to put a load on it when designing the basket, with special attention paid to the corners.
  • Before painting the product, you need to calculate the amount of acrylic lacquer, otherwise you will have to decorate with a different color, and the result will already be imperfect.

Edge decoration

When the basket of the required height is ready, it is necessary to hide the tips of the tubes that form the frame, and also remember to lock and hide the working tube. This requires a long spoke. It needs to be pushed into the hole near the counter in the middle for 3 rows. It is here that you will need to hide the tip.

The action with the spoke must be repeated in the other direction also in 3 rows, put the stand on it and push it down. Thus, each rack will be bent and pulled. At the end of work, the edge of the product will be ready.

In each hole where the rack hit, it is necessary to spread glue and allow time to dry. After this, use the scissors to cut off all the edges of the protruding tubes. All sections must be carefully hidden between newspaper tubes.

For a simpler version of the edge, see the following video.

Decoration

The basket can be completed with a lid, which can be fixed at one wall or weave separately. Using the method of weaving the bottom, you can also make a cover. It is desirable to cover the already finished product with varnish. An excellent solution is acrylic lacquer, because it does not smell and quickly dries up.

The use of varnish will give the basket strength, it will be impossible to distinguish it from a real vine product. When the varnish is not completely dried, you can correct the shape of the basket, give the bottom of stability, eliminate the creases.

Sometimes weave paper baskets without coloring, then after finishing the work, the product must be carefully primed and painted. As a primer, a primer or PVA glue can be used. To paint the basket, aerosol paints are suitable, which should be applied several times.

The present work of art can be called baskets decorated with a picture using the technique of decoupage. To fix the picture is also used varnish.
