NEWSPAPER POTS

Send

Newspaper tubes are a very creative material. They easily twist, dye and bend. If you have accumulated a large number of newspapers, then you can cut them and wind up the tubes. From which you can make beautiful, useful, original handmade items. In this Master Class you will learn how to make flower pots from newspaper tubes. The manufacture of this craft will not take much time, bring a lot of pleasure and will be useful in everyday life.
In order to make a cache-pot we need:
Newspaper tubes.
-Spoke.
-PVA glue.
- Stain.
-Scissors.
-Artificial flowers (pink shades).
-Glue the moment.
- Basis for a cache-pot (a flower pot or any jar).

Getting to the manufacture of crafts:
1. Prepare twisted newspaper tubes in advance. For a cache-pot you will need eighty newspaper tubes.
2. Weave the bottom. To do this, take eight tubes and smooth in advance with a rolling pin, so it will be more convenient to weave. We arrange the tubes as shown in the figure.

We connect the two tubes together and start weaving with the “Pigtail”, first braiding two tubes, weaving a couple of rows in this way, then we separate the tubes and braid one tube at a time.

Weave until the bottom takes the form of a pot, then we fill the ends and cuts.

3. We proceed to weaving the base. Raises the tubes, bending one under the other.

We put the flower pot on the bottom and weave the walls with simple weaving.

At the junction of the tubes, it is desirable to coat with PVA glue. Weave the rows tightly and neatly, trying to transfer the shape of the pot to the shape of a pot.

We knit almost to the end of the pot and finish the product. We drive the leading tubes in rows, and cut off the ends, and coat the residues with glue.

Tubes columns we fill one in another, the ends to cuts and we fix with glue.

4. We proceed to coloring the product. It is better to paint on the street, because the stain does not have a pleasant smell. We paint in two layers and leave to dry for a couple of hours. It is advisable to use a thick brush for painting the product, since it is more convenient for it to paint over all the distant parts of the craft. To completely get rid of the smell, the product should dry for about two days in the open air.
5. We decorate a cache-pot. To do this, you need to prepare artificial pink flowers in advance. We insert them into the hole between the tubes in a circle around the product at the same distance from each other, fix with glue the moment and leave to dry.

Here is an original planter obtained from newspaper tubes.
As a result of this Master Class, we made flower pots from newspaper tubes with our own hands. This flower pot will decorate the pot in which the flowers are planted and will completely change your interior. We hope this master class was useful for you, and you easily made this craft yourself.
