Make a bathroom cozy and stylish with minimal cost? Adme.ru. He knows how to get a bright paper basket or towels without leaving home.
We found a great way to turn a few old magazines into a stylish and spacious basket.
We will need:
- Chinese wand;
- newspapers or magazines;
- glue and brush;
- clothespins;
- 2 pieces of cardboard and cardboard box;
- Any heavy item as a press;
- acrylic paints.
Establish:
1. We take a stack of logs or newspapers and gently pull out the page. It is desirable that they were the same size.
2. Armed with a wooden stick (it can be a Chinese wand or stycling), start twisting the pages. We do it diagonally, thoroughly lubricating paper with glue.
3. Fix the finished tubes on the clothespins and let dry. After that, slightly straighten them so that they become flat.
4. The bottom is the basis of the future basket. It is important that it is reliable. Take two pieces of cardboard. On one draw the line and place symmetrically on the sides and corners paper tubes, and glue the second Cardboard rectangle on top. Press the bottom with the tubes with a press and give the design to dry.
5. Go to weaving. Scale the bottom of the basket on the box or substitute the cardboard on the sides. Secure paper tubes with clothespins. This will ensure the accuracy of the pattern.
6. Take one tube and begin to skip it alternately above and vertical, imitating weaving the vine. Connect the horizontal tubes one into one with the help of glue.
7. As soon as you decide that the height of the future basket suits you - carefully lower the edges of the vertical tube, inserting into the loop, and the ends horizontal hide inside. We remember about glue.
8. Our beauties basket is almost ready! It remains to give her a gloss. To do this, take acrylic paints and with the help of the brush, give the color of the product inside and outside. For a natural effect, use two shades and apply paints with a sprayer.
9. A little more time for paint dried. And voila! Basket for towels, rolls, bottles and other beautiful little things ready.
