To make the kitchen more comfortable, watch the master class "Tea house from newspaper tubes". With it, you will create a useful interior detail that will take an important place in the life of tea lovers. Another such craft will serve as a great gift.

Blanks

Before you create a tea house from newspaper tubes, a master class on the creation of which you will see later, you need to learn how to make blanks. Materials Needed:

• Newspapers.
• Scissors.
• PVA glue.
• Knitting needle or skewer.

How to make straws:

1. Cut one of the newspaper pages into equal strips 9 centimeters wide.
2. Twist each strip diagonally with a needle inside. This is necessary so that the tube does not lose its shape.
3. Fix the tip with glue. It is not necessary to coat the entire strip. Otherwise, due to the rigidity, it will be difficult to weave.
4. Make some of these blanks.
5. Nowthe tubes can be dyed the color you want, but the craft will not be worse if you put it off until the entire weaving is completed.
6. To lengthen the sticks, drop glue into one end of the tube and insert the other.

Bottom weaving

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

1. Place three straws together. There are three more on top of them: you should get a cross. Apply glue to the intersection.
2. Make another cross and glue it to the first one so that you get a six-pointed star.
3. Take a long tube and bend it in half, wrapping it around three tubes lying side by side.
4. Pass the top side under the three main tubes. And the bottom above them.
5. Weave the first row like this.
6. Then weave 3 rows, passing through two main tubes.
7. Next, weave through one tube until you reach the desired diameter.

Another option:

1. Take 16 straws.
2. Lay them out with a cross in four pieces, slightly gluing together.
3. Take a long tube and fold it in half.
4. Wrap it around one of the four pairs.
5. From the first to the third row weaving like this: skip the top side under the four subsequent tubes, and the bottom one over them. Then turn and do the same on the other side.
6. Third row: the work tube does the same as in the previous step, onlyweaving two tubes, not four.
7. After several such rows, start braiding one tube, not two.
8. Continue until the desired diameter is reached.

Foundation

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

1. Take a round shape and put it on the bottom. It can be a jar or a mug. The main thing is that it should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the bottom.
2. After one, lift the tubes up along the form, secure with a clothespin.
3. Weave three rows on the remaining tubes. Just pass the tube up and down.
4. When you're done, hide the bottom end.
5. Tuck all sticks sticking out, coat with glue. When everything is dry, carefully cut off the excess.
6. Make the walls as in the third step using a simple weave. The tea house, the master class for the creation of which you are considering, is unique for everyone. After creating several rows, cut out a hole for the bags that suits you with a clerical knife. Windows can be cut.
7. Weave a braid of three tubes and glue to the cut.
8. Make the walls to the desired height, about 20 rows.
9. Start to gradually narrow, braiding two tubes first, three after several rows and so on.
10. Fix the end of the working tube with glue, dry and cut off the excess.

Roof

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

1. On a shoe boxput a sheet of paper, draw an angle that will be a guide for the roof. Mark several points on it, the distance between which should be about a centimeter.
2. Insert tubes into the points - these are racks.
3. Take a straw that will work and start weaving it around the racks.
4. Insert a suitable triangular shape to braid it.
5. When the roof is ready, remove the racks and bend the protruding tubes, glue, cut off the excess.
6. Put on the house and fix with glue.

The master class "tea house from newspaper tubes" is over. It remains to color the craft, if you have not done this before, and decorate. Glue the label of your favorite tea over the hole. When you get better at weaving, you can experiment with the shapes of the roof and base.
