How to deal with old newspapers

Each of us at home littered with a few read newspapers, to throw away which all somehow do not reach.

And fine, we advise to give yellowed printed sheets another chance, because of them you can easily create real masterpieces.

Crafts from newspaper tubes Especially relevant on the eve of spring holidays. I cut newspapers into strips and fold them into tubes to please the loved one with a cute surprise.

Status of work

First, make the tubes. Cut the newspaper into equal strips approximately 3.5 cm wide with scissors or a stationery knife.
Wrap the paper around the knitting needle (its thickness will depend on the diameter of the tubes), as shown in the photo.
After the straw is ready, fasten the edge of the paper with glue.
Then you need to paint the resulting tubes.

For this purpose, you will need a water milk or remnants of color for paint.

You can dip paper tubes into a bottle with a morilla or mix the kohler with water and paint the tubes with a brush.
To make a frame, you will need a piece of wire slightly less thick than the inner diameter of a paper tube. Straighten the wire and put it in the tube.
Bend the wire in the paper shell frame of the future heart. Cut the extra wire. Lubricate the ends of the tube with glue and fasten with a pinch until dry.
In the same way, attach to the frame a working tube without wire, which you will braid the heart. At the first stage, this can be done chaotically, and then you need to try to distribute the turns so that there are fewer voids.
When the tube is finished, insert another one into it, slightly flattening the tip.
Lock the last turn with glue and hide its end under the upper tubes.
Ready. paper-straw decorate with beads or beads.
