Decor for the house with your own hands - step by step instruction




  1. First you need to prepare a small number of paper tubes. Cut a sheet of a glossy magazine or newspaper into strips 55-60 mm wide To do this, place the spoke on the lower left cornera paper strip and begin to twist it around the knitting needle. When wound, tip the grease with glue and press, then gently pull the needle from the tube.


  2. Cut out of the cardboard two identical circles of this size, whatever you would like to have a decorative plate. On a circle we apply a layer of glue with the help of glue-pencil or PVA, we wait when it dries.


  3. We put a paper napkin on a greased circle of cardboard and gently smooth with a hot iron. It turns out an even surface with a pattern. Bend the edges of the napkin, glue bends.


  4. The second circle of cardboard is well lubricated with gluePVA, lay out the circumference of the paper tubes at a distance of 15-20mm. Next, cover it all around, decorated with a napkin. Leave to dry under the yoke. (If you do not want to wait, you can use a glue gun, everything glues instantly).


  5. Once our workpiece has dried, you canbegin to weave from paper tubes. Plait with the usual weaving, "rope". We put one tube in the other, fold it in half, wrap around the tube around the workpiece and begin to weave.


  6. Plait several rows. The amount depends on the size of the finished dish.


  7. Once everything is woven together, we will begin to primer the finished product.

    For the primer, mix in equal parts PVA glue and acrylic paint, add a little water, stir well, - we need a consistency of liquid sour cream. Primer is applied to our product neatly, with a small rigid brush, we spread it well between the rows of weaving. Leave to dry.


  8. As soon as it dries, you can paint ourdecorative plate in any color at your request. You can use stain, paint for eggs, for hair. We took a stain, mocha, and covered the product in 2 layers.



After drying, cover our product with a layer of furniture varnish.



So we made a beautiful decor for our house - a plate of newspaper tubes. We hope, it will add to your "hearth" of warmth and comfort.
