Step by step we make a basket of cocktail tubes
A beautiful and original basket can be made fromstraws for cocktails. They are colorful, bright, and work with them is not difficult and fascinating. The result of this session will be wonderful baskets, which will serve not only the decoration of your interior, but also become a storage place for valuables. Our master class describes the whole process in detail and is understandable even for beginners.
To begin with it is necessary to prepare the tubes - to make them flat with a rolling pin.
Then we take two tubes and put each onfriend perpendicularly. The next one is placed parallel to the first, but not under, and above the second straw. Then the fourth - parallel to the second and over the third tube. This can be attributed to the basics of weaving.
This is how we create the bottom of the basket - a small square or rectangle.
When the bottom is ready, we take the object, shapewhich we will repeat. A casket, box or cube can become an object for braiding. We put it on the bottom of the basket and begin to weave the side. Tube bend and fix with a clerical rubber band. Well and then again we take a tube for a cocktail and we pass over the first straw, under the second, and so constantly alternating. If the straws are not enough, then take the second, continuing the weaving.
Note! Control that the tubes for the drink tightly touch each other, then your work will not be in vain, and the craft will not disintegrate. That's laying the first half when weaving the side, slide it tightly to the bottom.
Now we take the next straw, but we pass itback first - under the first straw, over the second, repeating the alternation. Again, tightly shift the entire resulting series. You also do the following series in the same way until the object inside is completely braided.
When the height of your craft has reached the rightmarks, we get the object from the inside, and the edges of the tubes are bent and fixed with paper clips. An excellent option will be to fasten the ends of straws with glue to tightly fix the edges.
If necessary, you can add a handle to your basket.
Such baskets can be decorated with ribbons. Create an odonto from cocktail tubes is easy and simple. And, of course, very beautiful!

Step by step we make a basket of newspaper tubes
At home most of us probably have oldnewspapers. Of these, you can also create an interesting hand-crafted article. It's enough just to get acquainted with our master class for beginners. The appearance of a basket of paper or newspaper is not inferior to a braid from a vine!
To create such a thing yourself you will need:
Paper or newspaper.
Spoke.
Glue.
Scissors or knife.
Paint (it is better to use acrylic) and varnishes to cover the product, brushes.
Ethyl alcohol stain.
Basis for weaving.
Beads, appliqués or ribbons are optional.
Now we can start work.
We mark the newspaper on the strips for 5-8 cm. And cut in the direction of the fiber paper. To determine the direction, draw a few fingers along the edge of the sheet. If the edge became wavy - then this is the transverse direction. And in this case it is better to use the longitudinal direction, at which the edge remains flat and folds are not formed.
We hold the spokes at an angle of 10-15 degrees, tightwind up newspaper strips. Edge fixing with glue. Now you can paint the tubes in a conceived color, cover with varnish or stain and let it dry out. For the basket, on average, about 50 tubes are needed. Because from the glue the paper coarsens, it is necessary to dry the glue and paint after drying with an iron or to walk a few times with a rolling pin.
We begin the weaving from the bottom of the basket. For a square base we take four twisted tubes and connect them crosswise. As in the case of weaving from straws for cocktails, you need to put the tubes, constantly alternating - over the first, under the second, over the third ... The principle of weaving, as in the standard basket.
For a round base, you need to use at least 4 tubes, and then simply braid the base in a circle. Beginners should carefully and densely to each other make the following series.
To work was easier and more convenient it is worth using a glass or a casket, braiding it. When the craft has reached the desired size, from the inside we take out the object and fix the edges of the newspaper tubes.
To give strength to your craft, you needabundantly spread it with PVA glue. The glue must dry completely. Decorate can be with the use of napkins and de blend of them, beads, ribbons, lids and other elements.
