A newspaper basket can be easily made at home from improvised means. In the process of creating you will need a set of newspapers, glue, scissors and a piece of wire with a diameter of 2-3 mm2. Every housewife has all this in stock, and with it
shouldn't be a problem. In extreme cases, the last component can be easily replaced with a knitting needle or a sushi stick.
Starting with a model
Before starting work, you need to decide what you want to get at the end. That is, what shape should the basket of newspapers get at the end. It can be an ordinary container in the form of a cut cone upside down, and an ordinary cylinder, and any other that your soul will like. It is desirable that you have a ready-made copy in your hands - this will greatly simplify the work.
Make blanks
At the first stage, it is necessary to make blanks, with the help of which then a basket of newspapers will be made - rods from a newspaper. To do this, it is cut into strips of a certain width and length. Then a wire or its substitute is taken, and then this blank is wound tightly around it. At the end of the strip, its edge is smeared with glue andfixed. Then it should dry, after which the wire gets and
a new blank is made in the same way. This procedure is carried out until the required amount of raw material for the production of the product has been obtained.
Bottom
The next step is to make the bottom. To do this, the resulting newspaper twigs are alternately stacked in a checkerboard pattern. And they should fit very tightly to each other. Laying is done until the required bottom size is obtained. It is usually equal to the area of the base of the container. For example, if a newspaper basket is made in the form of an inverted truncated cone, then we must get its bottom one by one. If the length of one workpiece is not enough, then another is glued to it. After this part of the work is over, you need to give time to dry the workpiece.
Sidewalls and cover
At this stage, you need to carefully install the model on the bottom obtained at the previous stage so as not to damage it. Then the protruding paper rods from below are bent in its shape. If any of them is short, then it is lengthened in a way,
indicated in the previous paragraph. Further, in a checkerboard pattern, workpieces begin to fit one after another. This operation is carried out until the required height is reached. It does not have to be the same as the original container. As soon as this condition is met, you need to get the form and give the basket time to dry. Atthis can be parallel to make a cover. It is made in the same way as the base. Its dimensions should be the same as at the top of the received paper fake. Further, all this is connected with a screed. Moreover, if weaving square baskets from newspapers, then there should be 2-3 ties (depending on its size). But for a round and one will be enough. Then you need to give time again for the glue to harden. At the final stage, the resulting basket is covered with paint. For this, it is best to use a spray can. After it dries, the craft is ready, and it can be used for its intended purpose, for example, for storing things.
