To make the kitchen more cozy, take a look at the master class "Tea House from Newspaper Tubes". With its help you will create a useful detail of the interior, which will take an important place in the life of fans of tea drinking. Still such an article will serve as an excellent gift.

Blanks

Before you create a tea house from the newspaper tubes, a master class you will see next on how to make the blanks. Necessary materials:

• Newspapers.
• Scissors.
• PVA glue.
• A spoke or a skewer.

How to make a tube:

1. One of the pages of the newspaper cut into equal strips of 9 centimeters wide.
2. Twist each strip diagonally, inserting the inside of the spoke. This is necessary so that the tube does not lose its shape.
3. Fix the tip with glue. You do not need to miss the entire strip. Otherwise, due to the rigidity of the weave will be difficult.
4. Make several such blanks.
5. Now the tubes can be painted in the required color, but the article does not become worse, if you postpone it until the end of the entire weaving.
6. To extend the sticks, at one end of the tube, drip the glue and insert the other.

Weaving of the bottom

You need to be able to create a good bottom - this will teach the master class. A tea house made of newspaper tubes should stand firmly on the table. So, how to make a bottom:

1. Put three tubes together. On top of them there are three more: the cross must turn out. At the intersection, drip glue.
2. Make one more such cross and glue it to the first so that the six-pointed star is made.
3. Take a long tube and bend it in half, wrapping around three, lying next to the tubes.
4. The upper side is passed under the three main tubes. And the lower one above them.
5. Screw the first row.
6. Then 3 rows of wire, passing through two main tubes.
7. Next, we must interlace through one tube, until you reach the desired diameter.

Another variant:

1. Take the 16 tubes.
2. Lay out their crosses in four pieces, slightly glued together.
3. Take the long tube and fold it in half.
4. Circle it one of four pairs.
5. From the first to the third, the series runs like this: pass the upper side under the four following tubes, and the lower one above them. Then turn and do the same on the other side.
6. The third row: the working tube is the same as in the previous step, only weaving two tubes, not four.
7. After a few of these series begin to fly one tube, not two.
8. Continue until the desired diameter is reached.

Base

Master class "Tea house from the newspaper tubes" comes to the most interesting - the creation of the walls of the house. Progress:

1. Take a round shape and put it on the bottom. It can be a pot or a mug. The main thing is that it is slightly less than the diameter of the bottom.
2. After one lift the tubes upwards along the mold, secure with a clothespin.
3. On the remaining tubes, tie three rows. Simply skip the handset from above, then from below.
4. When finished, hide the end from the bottom.
5. Turn all sticks sticking, grease with glue. When everything is dry, gently cut the excess.
6. Make the walls, as in the third step, using a simple weaving. The tea house, the master class you are considering to create, each one is unique. After creating several rows, cut out with a stationery knife a bag hole suitable for you. You can cut windows.
7. Weave a pigtail from three tubes and glue to the place of the cut.
8. Make the walls to the desired height, approximately 20 rows.
9. Start gradually narrowing, first braiding two tubes, several rows of three, and so on.
10. The end of the working tube is fixed with glue, dried and cut off excess.

Roof

The tea house is almost ready. Weaving from newspapers (mini-MK is close to completion) leads to the creation of a roof. What to do:

1. On the box from under the shoes, put a sheet of paper, draw a corner that will guide the roof. Mark on it a few points, the distance between which should be about a centimeter.
2. Insert into the points of the tube - it's the rack.
3. Take the tube, which will be working and begin to spin it around the posts.
4. Insert a suitable triangular shape to braid it.
5. When the roof is ready, take out the racks and bend the protruding tubes, glue it, trim the excess.
6. Put on the house and fix it with glue.

Master class "tea house from newspaper tubes" is over. It remains to paint the handcraft, if you have not done this before, and decorate. Glue a label of your favorite tea over the hole. When you better learn the technique of weaving, you can experiment with the shapes of the roof and the base.
