An original candy bowl made from the simplest newspaper tubes will be an unusual decoration for any table and will delight guests. It can also be made as a gift, because handmade crafts are always highly valued. By following all the steps in our master class step by step, you can easily weave such a vase yourself from the most budget-friendly material - old newspapers.

We weave an unusual candy bowl from newspaper tubes with our own hands

• Whole sheets of newspaper;
• Paper cutting knife;
• Scissors;
• Thin knitting needle;
• PVA glue;
• Flat bristle brush;
• Acrylic lacquer;
• A small form for braiding (for example, a salad bowl or plate).

Newspaper sheets need to be rolled into tubes. To do this, cut the sheet along the folding line and bend it across into a strip about 7 cm wide. Carefully cut it.

1. We place the knitting needle at a slight angle and hold the newspaper with our left hand, and tightly twist the newspaper tubes with our right hand.
2. Carefully glue the very tip of the resulting tube with a small amount of PVA glue.
3. The tubes should be as dense as possible. It is very important that one end of the newspaper tube is wider than the other.
4. Carefully paint the tubes with water stain. It is very easy to use and has a large selection of colors.
5. You can paint it immediately in a bunch, dipping it on both sides in stain. Dry, but not too much; the tubes should be slightly damp for flexibility. If necessary, you can spray them a little with water from a spray bottle, leaving the ends dry.

1. We start weaving a candy bowl from the bottom, which will be in the shape of a saucer. For the base, we lay out the tubes crosswise and fasten them with glue.
2. Take the next tube and wrap 4 base tubes in a loop at once. We press the loop tightly to the base, and its ends will be working tubes for further weaving.
3. For convenience, one of the base tubes can be marked with an elastic band for money, so as not to lose where the row begins and ends.
4. We bring the bottom tube forward to the next 4 bases. We place the working upper tube on top of the lower one and place it down under the 4 base tubes.
5. In the same way we weave 3 rows in a circle.
6. If the tube runs out, you can lengthen it: insert a narrow one into the wide end, adding a drop of glue for strength.
7. Then we divide the base tubes into 2, braiding them in the same way as the 3 previous rows.
8. We weave a few more rows and again separate the base tubes, one at a time, in the shape of the sun. The bases should be spaced equally apart. Once we have woven the bottom to the size that suits us, we cut off the working tubes. And we will discreetly hide their ponytails in the weaving with a knitting needle.
9. All “rays” of the sun must be removed. We cut them off one by one with scissors, leaving small ends that we hide in the weaving.

1. Fold the tube in half and drag it through our finished saucer closer to the middle. We insert several more tubes in the same way. They will be the basis for the cup.
2. We take the tube, bend it in half and put it on one of the base tubes. We carry out weaving, as for the bottom, only in a vertical position.
3. After weaving the first row, we place our salad bowl shape and secure it with clamps or clothespins. We continue weaving, pressing the newspaper tubes to the form. We make sure that the distance between the base tubes does not exceed 3 cm, otherwise the cup will not hold its shape well, and the weaving will be sparse. By carefully spreading the weave with a knitting needle, you can insert additional tubes.
4. We remove the shape and weave further, separating the warps one piece at a time, just as when weaving the bottom.
5. We braid the cup to the height we need and again cut off the working tubes. We hide them in weaving. We flatten the base tubes and also hide the tails.

To weave a handle, take 2 tubes and insert knitting needles next to them in parallel. We glue the third to the second tube, retreating 2 cm from the edge. We braid the first two tubes of the third in the form of a figure eight. We weave the required length and take out the knitting needles. We attach the handle to the cup, spreading the space under the handle, using a knitting needle and glue it with glue.

Dilute the glue with water in a 1:1 ratio and carefully coat the cup on all sides with a brush.

To give the cup strength, it needs to be primed. To do this, dilute the PVA glue with water in a 1:1 ratio and use a brush to completely coat the cup inside and out. After drying, the candy bowl will become very durable and tough.

And at the final stage of work, we coat the cup with acrylic clear varnish. After varnishing, the candy bowl will be protected from moisture, will become glossy and more saturated in color. The varnish should be applied in 2 layers and allowed to dry thoroughly. Let's decorate our candy bowl with satin ribbons, lace, artificial flowers and beads.

Master classes in video format on making a candy bowl with your own hands.

Weaving from newspapers is a very exciting process. Sometimes you're amazed at what things can be made from seemingly useless materials like old newspapers. Boxes, vases, drawers and even tables.

This article will discuss the process of creating such a useful thing as a candy bowl. It can be a good gift for a sweet tooth, or serve for you. Making such a “sweet” vase is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. Even for a person inexperienced in the field of weaving from newspapers. The process resembles.

To work you will need:

• several newspapers,
• scissors,
• spoke,
• thick cardboard (from some box),
• PVA glue,
• a pair of rubber bands or thread,
• deep bowl of the size you need for the base,
• clothespins
• enamel in a can.

How to weave a candy bowl from newspaper tubes

Why newspapers? Because they are more flexible in operation, unlike printer paper, although they are sometimes used to weave different things. Why spray paint? Because this is the easiest option for dyeing after making the item. However, there is also a method such as dyeing the tubes before weaving.

Preparing newspaper tubes

We cut the newspapers into strips approximately 4-5 cm wide. Take a knitting needle and tightly twist a strip of newspaper onto it in a spiral to form a thin tube. If anything, you can always turn to the Internet for help, where you will find many detailed video tutorials on how to curl newspapers for weaving. Try to make more tubes; it’s better to have some left over. You can view the information in more detail.

You need to cut out two circles from cardboard with a diameter corresponding to the bottom of the bowl taken as a basis, and cover them with newspaper.

Assembling the “body”

Take 24 tubes of equal length (preferably the longest ones) and glue 2 of them together so that you get 12 very long ones. Then, placing them in pairs between two cardboard circles (as shown in the photo), glue them together, holding them together with clothespins. Let the glue dry for a couple of hours.

When the structure is securely glued, we move the tubes to a vertical position. To do this, we will place two base tubes under the next pair and lift them, and so on in a circle until we lift everything.

Weaving a candy bowl

Place the bowl on the cardboard bottom and secure it with threads or rubber bands. This will help give the candy bowl an even shape. Let's start weaving. We glue two tubes together as was done at the previous stage to get one long (working) one and bend it in half. In the place of the bend we place a couple of tubes from the base at the very bottom and braid the bowl in a circle, increasing the length of the working tubes as necessary. It is important to periodically press the weave towards the bottom for density.

As soon as we have woven it to the desired height, we take out the bowl and fix the edge of the weaving. There are many ways to do this, you just have to look for the right one on the Internet.

How to weave a handle from newspaper tubes

If you think that the candy dish should not have a handle, then feel free to skip this step. So, in order to make a handle, you need to provide it with a base. For this purpose, a couple of tubes will be enough, which we securely glue to an existing basket in the chosen location. It is best to use tubes from the base of the candy dish. When we have formed the arc-handle, we braid it too, as shown in the photo.

Painting

You can choose any color, in this case it is copper. We go outside (so as not to breathe in the paint) and carefully, evenly coat the finished candy vase with enamel. The enamel is easy to apply and dries quickly. The dried candy bowl should be decorated with something. For example - tape. You can't just tie it, so you'll have to glue it in a couple of places, but that's a minor detail.

That's all, you can fill the product with sweets and put it on the table!

Cardboard butterflies or autumn leaves are also suitable as decorations.

Today we have another master class on weaving from newspaper tubes.

This time we will weave a candy bowl from newspaper tubes with a voluminous bend.

To make a candy bowl with your own hands we will need:

• newsprint;
• PVA glue;
• knitting needle;
• scissors;
• stain.

We prepare using a knitting needle and PVA glue. After drying, paint the tubes with two colors of stain. I used cherry-colored alcohol stain for the basket and oak-colored wood stain for the trim.
And now let's start the process. To do this, take 2 pairs of tubes, fold each of them crosswise and stack them on top of each other, as in the photo.

We start a working tube and braid the first row with 2 tubes,

and from the second - one at a time.

We weave in a circle to the size we need with cherry-colored tubes. While working, we grow the working tubes.

I wove 7 rows and from the 8th row I began to lift the tubes up not immediately vertically, but at a slight angle, so that the weaving had a more elegant look.

I wove 3 rows with a rope, then changed the color of the working tubes to the color of oak. I wove 2 rows, after which I again switched to the main color and continued weaving to the desired height, while growing the vertical tube-stands.

To finish the weaving with a volumetric bend, we will need additional tubes, which we insert into the weave under the horizontal tubes at each stand and bend them in half, as in the photo.

Additional racks differ in color. We weave 2 more rows of rope to secure additional tubes.

Next, we do the usual bending over the nearest posts, only 3 tubes at a time.
Advice: Before you start bending, moisten the stand tubes and wait a few minutes until they become limp, and only then start bending. This will allow you to avoid severe creases in the tubes and make it easier for you to work.

Start the second row of folding with a cherry tube, stretch it over the next three tubes into the basket,

behind it are 2 light tubes. And so on in a circle.

All that remains is to shorten the tubes inside the basket with scissors and wrap them around the weave, giving a more aesthetic appearance.

This wicker cup-candy bowl made of paper vine will become an original decoration for your table and will surprise your guests. It can also be used as a blank for topiary or given as a souvenir.

Hello, dear friends!

I'm Katya. I really love weaving with paper wicker, and I want everyone who wants to learn to feel the pleasure of weaving. Therefore, today I will show you how to create an unusual and functional candy cup from ordinary paper. This one, for example.

For work we will need: newspapers or consumer paper, a stationery knife, scissors, a knitting needle with a diameter of 1.5-2 mm, PVA glue, a form for braiding (I have a small plastic salad bowl), a flat brush with bristles, aqualac (acrylic varnish) .

We will not weave from the paper itself, but from paper tubes that still need to be wound. So let's get started.

We cut the spread of the newspaper along the fold line, then fold the sheet across so that we get a strip 7-8 cm wide and cut it.

Then take the knitting needle and place it on a strip of paper at an angle 20°-30°. We begin to twist the tube. We hold the newspaper with the fingers of our left hand, pressing it to the knitting needle, and with the rest we tightly wind it onto the knitting needle.

We drop a small drop of glue onto the tip of the paper and glue this tail at the end of the tube.

The tube should be dense, and one end should be slightly wider than the other - this is necessary for extending the tubes (we then insert the thin end of the tube into the wide one, thus lengthening the tubes).

After the tubes are wound, they need to be painted. The easiest way to do this is with a water-based stain - it has a varied palette, it is odorless, and the tubes stain well. This is done like this: take a small bunch of tubes, dip them directly into a bottle of stain, take them out, turn them over to the other side and dip them again. Place the tubes on paper to dry. Advice: in order for the tubes to be elastic when weaving, they need to be left a little dry so that they are slightly damp. If the tubes are dry, then you just need to spray them with water from a spray bottle, leaving the ends dry (4-5 cm from each end), otherwise they will not fit well into each other and it will not be possible to extend the tubes.

The tubes ready for use look like this.

Now let's start weaving the cup. We always start weaving from the bottom, in our case it will be a saucer. To do this, you need to lay out the tubes crosswise as shown in the photo. This will be the base of the saucer, and we will call these tubes stands. To prevent the tubes from moving apart, we glue them with PVA glue.

We take a new tube, bend it in half and put it in a loop on 4 stand tubes at once.

We press it tightly to the center of the base of the future body. Thus, we received 2 working tubes with which we will weave. I mark one tube-stand on which the loop is put with a rubber band so that in the future I can immediately see the beginning and end of the row. Next, take the bottom tube, bring it forward and place it on the next 4 racks. We place the upper working tube on top of the lower one and place it under 4 racks. This weaving method is called a straight rope with 2 tubes.

Crossing the tubes in this way, weave 2-3 rows in a circle. You need to carefully monitor the working tubes - always first bring the bottom tube forward and place it on the racks, and crosswise place the top tube on top of it and place it behind the drains. If this condition is not met, the drawing will be confused.

When the tube ends, we extend it - insert the narrow end into the wide end of the new tube, after dropping a drop of PVA there so that they do not separate.

After we have woven 2-3 rows, we begin to separate the racks in twos, braiding them in exactly the same way as the previous 3 rows.

After separating the racks, we weave a few more rows until the distance between the racks is approximately 3 cm. After this, we again separate the double racks and separate them one at a time, forming a “sun”. When braiding the racks, you need to separate them so that they are approximately the same distance.

We weave the saucer to the desired size and finish weaving. We do it this way: we cut off the working tubes, leaving the ends 1.5 cm, and using a knitting needle we hide them in the weave next to the adjacent stand.

Now you need to close the edge of the weaving. To do this, flatten the first post, bend it next to the second post, leave the tip at 1.5-2 cm, and cut off the excess. We hide the tip in the weave next to the second post. We do the same with the second post - we cut it off and hide the tip next to the third post. We help ourselves with a knitting needle - we move the weave a little to make room for the tip that needs to be hidden.

We get this closed edge of the weave.

The saucer is ready!

Now let's start weaving the cup. First you need to make stands for the cup. To do this, take a tube, bend it in half and push it through the bottom like the letter P.

We need a cup stand to “grow” between each tube-bottom stand. It turns out like this.

Now you can proceed directly to weaving the cup. We bend one tube in half, put it on the stand and begin to weave a rope. It is woven in the same way as in the bottom, only now the racks are in a vertical position, and not horizontal.

After 1-2 rows, we insert the shape that we will braid and fix it with clothespins so that it does not slip off. Instead of clothespins, you can put something heavy in the mold. Now we weave further, pressing the tubes tightly to the form.

If during the weaving process the distance between the posts becomes 3 cm, then you need to insert additional posts, otherwise the weave will not be tight and will not hold its shape well.

This is done simply - use a knitting needle to spread the weave a little and insert one tube into the weave next to each post.

Then we return the shape to its place and weave further, spreading the racks one at a time in the same way as we did when weaving the saucer.

We weave the cup to the desired height. We finish the weaving and close the edge exactly as we did when weaving the saucer - we cut off the working tubes and hide them in the weaving, and we flatten the posts and hide the ends next to the adjacent posts.

This is what should happen.

The cup is almost ready, all that remains is to make the handle. We will weave this too.

We take 2 tubes, leave free tails 2-3 cm long, and glue the tail of the third tube to one tube. We place 2 tubes in parallel at a distance equal to the distance between the racks in the cup, and with the third tube we begin to braid them in a figure eight. To prevent the tubes from getting pulled together, we insert them along the knitting needle next to them. We braid the handle to the required length, glue the working tube or hide it inside the weaving, and take out the knitting needles.

To attach the handle to the cup, insert the knitting needle into the weave next to the stand, thus expanding the space for the handle, and insert the tails of the handle into this hole. To be safe, add a drop of PVA to these places.

To give the cup strength, it needs to be primed. To do this, dilute the PVA glue with water in a 1:1 ratio and use a brush to completely coat the cup inside and out.

When the cup dries completely after priming, it will become very durable, like wood. However, if there are irregularities in the cup that need to be corrected, this must be done before the cup dries. We simply smooth out all the unevenness with our hands, give the desired shape to the handle and leave it to dry. If the wicker product is already quite durable, then you can skip the priming step and immediately proceed to the last stage of work - coating the cup with varnish. This is a necessary step to give the product additional strength and protection from moisture. In addition, after varnishing, the color of the product will become brighter and a beautiful light gloss will appear. I recommend using colorless aqualac (acrylic varnish), which is sold in any hardware store. Unlike alkyd varnish, it dries quickly and is odorless, so it can be used indoors. Using a brush, cover the cup with two layers of this varnish (each layer should be allowed to dry). Now the cup is completely ready for use - it is not only durable, but also protected from moisture. If desired, the cup can be decorated with lace, ribbons or beads. For example, like this.

OK it's all over Now! If you have any questions about the master class, I will be happy to answer them.

So, for work we need: two cardboard circles for the bottom (it can also be woven), 46-50 tubes of one color and 15 tubes of a different color, as well as scissors, PVA glue, a 3-liter jar and a bit of masking tape. Of course, you can weave everything in one color.

Between the cardboards covered with wallpaper (mine) I insert 18 pairs of tubes (light ones in the photo) and 5 tubes for handles, placing them one at a time between the pairs. (5 tubes between pairs, skip 4 pairs and another 5 tubes). Mine are a little darker.

We lift our tubes for the handles up and fasten them with a clothespin. The product is placed face down.

In our working pairs we braid one row, putting the tails from the working tubes in the middle.

Next, for simplicity and convenience, I drew concentric circles on the rejected cardboard. Small in diameter like our bottom, and the other two are at your request. Their radius is 6-8cm larger than the radius of the smaller circle. It depends on how tall you want the candy bowl to be.

We place our bottom in the center on a small circle and secure it with masking tape.

Now we do any binding. I arranged a couple of tubes over the first, under the second, over the third, under the fourth and brought them to the top. The main thing is that the tubes are moistened and come out to the top after the last binding.

I moved counterclockwise. We do this with all couples. At the same time, make sure that the height of the fold touches our circle. In this basket I chose a smaller circle.

This is what happens when we completely intertwine all pairs of tubes. Now you need to straighten everything well, tighten it, etc.

Next, we remove the masking tape and place our entire structure on an inverted 3-liter bottle. Carefully lower the binding down, pressing it against the bottle. We lift our tails up, and lower the tubes for the handle down.

I glue the tubes for the handles to the binding and secure them with clothespins. And on our ponytails I weave 3 rows of rope. I cut the tubes. I turn the product over and design the handle.

The handle is simple. It does not carry the load. So I just collected my tubes and wrapped them around them. The basket is ready.
