A paper basket with your own hands - the basics of technology
To create stylish interior items,perfectly fitting into any type of country style, weaving from newspapers is ideal. A basket made of paper, made with this hands in this technique, will decorate not only the kitchen, but the living room or bedroom. And to create such a universal interior, it is enough to learn a few simple tricks and tricks.
Pure materials
Environmentally friendly, affordable and cheap - exactlyA paper basket is characterized by such characteristics. With your hands made, it is perfect not only for storing small things, but also for dimensional items. But provided that the right materials were selected, and the right technique was used.
To answer the question of how to do itpaper box in the technique of weaving from newspapers, we must first outline the range of necessary materials. These include: newspapers, glue, needle, paint and varnish.
The newspaper and other paper editions, includingoffice, should choose a different density, ranging from 80 to 180 grams. Such a wide range is easy to explain. For the frame, the thickest paper is chosen, for braid - the lowest density.
Glue - the ideal option is PVA, but for learning the skills and clerical approaches.
A spoke or a quilling tool is required to wrap a "vine" of paper.
Paints - the main is white acrylic. However, in the manufacturing process may require stain, gouache, multi-colored acrylic.
Varnish - only acrylic for coating furniture. It is better to use the one that has a sprayer.
Basic techniques
When all the materials are purchased, remember a few tricks of "vines" wrapping and basic weaving techniques, so that a basket, made with your own hands from newspapers, looked perfect and served for a long time.
So, to create sticks, the sheet should be foldeddouble in length and cut. After that, each half, depending on the density of the paper, divided into two (for a lower density) or three parts (for very dense). To each such strip is applied at an acute angle of the spoke, and paper is wound on it. The resulting sharp end is attached PVA to the body of the rod.
In addition to the technique of creating tubes for this speciesweaving techniques are important. In total there are three of them - a straight line, a double rope and a complex rope. The simplest is the first. For him spread out parallel to each other vertical sticks, after which they alternately bend them horizontally.
The technique "Verevochka" looks somewhat different. According to it, vertical tubes are laid out in a manner analogous to the previous method. A horizontal braided them in pairs: one - under the vertical, the other - above, after which they alternate. Thus a double rope is performed. In the case of a complex rope, the horizontal ropes are laid out using two vertical ropes.
Paper basket with own hands
For it are manufactured by the above methodtubes. After they are made enough (at least 40 pieces), the blanks of the "vines" should be painted. To do this, just cover them with white acrylic paint or use soaking for thirty seconds in a container with stain.
Next, the base under the basket is made. The method of simple weaving makes the surface of the desired diameter. It is worth leaving two centimeters from the tubes that were used at the base. They should be raised at a right angle upwards and planted on them with PVA on one vine.
The resulting blank is braided to the desired heightone of these types of weaving, after which the ends are bent into the last row and fixed with glue. Such a basket can be immediately coated with varnish or, at first, you can set it to the desired form with the help of gouache or acrylic paints. As soon as the décor dries, it is also varnished.
