A small basket made of newspaper tubes. A basket of newspaper tubes for beginners step by step

I came across such creativity online as weaving from newspaper tubes. I was interested and decided to try it. I have reviewed more than a dozen master classes. Externally, the products are in no way inferior to wickerwork. And for home use they are quite durable and for a gift - nice!
Using various varnishes, paints and coating impregnations when weaving, you can create braids of all colors of the rainbow.
And by decorating the baskets with beads, flowers, ribbons or appliqués using the deco page technique, you can turn them into works of art.
Here's what I got.
You will need:
1. Newspaper sheets
2. PVA glue
3. Knitting needle
4. Scissors, stationery knife
5. Paint (acrylic), varnish (Finish varnish), alcohol-based stain (origon, larch, lemon...)
6. Brushes for glue and paint.
7. Basis for weaving

Operating procedure:

First, you need to determine the direction of the paper grain. The direction must be longitudinal. There are several ways to determine direction. Here's one: stretch the edges of a piece of paper between the nails of two fingers. In the transverse direction of the fibers, the edge will become wavy; in the longitudinal direction, folds will not form. Strips of this size will make thin tubes for an elegant product. If you need thicker tubes, then the width of the strips and the diameter of the knitting needles need to be increased.
I paint the tubes with a brush on regular oilcloth. I only use alcohol-based stains. On the recommendation of one master class, I tried to paint the tubes with a water-based stain - it ruined everything. When wet, the gluing area separates and the tubes unfold. Don't repeat the same mistakes.
Stage 1: Preparation
We mark the newspaper into strips of 7 cm.

On a backing board, cut the newspaper into strips with a utility knife.

The angle of the knitting needle on the newspaper strip is 10°-15°.

You need to start winding the strip very tightly, wrapping the edge of the newspaper around the knitting needle. The tubes are obtained white if the white margin of the newspaper strip is left on the right.

Secure the edge of the newspaper with glue.

At this stage, the finished tubes can be colored if desired. desired color and let dry well. You can paint the finished product afterwards. And if you cover it with paint and varnish on top, then no one will guess that this basket is made from an ordinary old magazine (newspaper).

Stage 2: Weaving
Let's start the work by weaving the bottom. It all depends on the size of your product. To weave the basket presented to your attention, you will need 30 (thirty) tubes 50 cm long.
We take 10 tubes (hereinafter: faces) 45-50 cm long. Lay them out in pairs.

We fold the working tube in half and wrap it around the first pair of rays.

The start of work can be marked with a marker on the edge of the beam.

We braid each pair of rays with a rope. The working tubes intersect, then one working tube goes on top of the pair of rays, the other below. As soon as the length of the working tube ends, we extend it (insert the end of the next tube into the hole of the previous one).

We weave two rows until the pair of rays marked with a marker.

We weave the third and fourth row into one ray.

We direct the working tubes to the middle of the bottom.

We form the edging of the bottom. With the first ray (marked with a marker), we go around the next one, directing it to the center of the bottom and so on in a circle.

We insert the last ray from below into the loop of the first ray.

We decorate the 5th (fifth) row with wooden beads with a diameter of 16 cm. You will need 6 pieces. beads

6 (sixth) and 7 (seventh) rows, knit with a rope. The work is almost finished! All that remains is to cut off the excess length of the working tubes and tuck them between the rows using a knitting needle.

We cut off the extended ends of the working tubes with scissors.

To make the handle of the basket, leave 3 (three) rays on each side, separating them with clothespins. Place a drop of glue at the base of the remaining rays and cut them off with scissors.

We connect the ends of the basket handle tubes.

Before weaving the handle, drop a drop of glue onto the edge of the tube and secure it with a clothespin. We braid the handle with a tube along the entire length.

At the end of weaving the handle, drop a drop of glue onto the end of the tube and secure it with a clothespin. The main work is finished.

Stage 3: Coloring
For strength, saturate the basket with PVA glue and give it the desired shape. Let the glue dry completely.

Paint the basket white acrylic paint. (you can add color paste, different dyes or paint with stain).

We cut out motifs from a napkin and make a page deck. Cover the basket with Finish varnish and dry the finished work.

There is nothing better than something made with your own hands. Admire, rejoice, give as a gift!!!

You can create unique things without spending a lot of money. A striking example of this is weaving from newspaper tubes. Of course, it will take a lot of time. But, in addition to the satisfaction and joy of creativity, you will become the owner of original and beautiful crafts. The problem with gifts will be solved - you can make them with your own hands.

Preparation of tubes

Before you start weaving, you need to prepare the starting material - wind tubes from newspapers or magazines. You will need the paper itself, PVA glue in a bottle with a dispenser, a long pushing knitting needle or a piece of stiff wire. The diameter of the knitting needle/wire is 1.5-2 mm. These are all tools at the preparatory stage.

Lots of ideas - lots of material!

Let's spin

To make straws, you must first cut the paper into pieces. the right size. We cut newspaper strips or magazine spreads into several parts. Aspect ratio - 1:3 or 1:4 (for example, 27 * 9 cm, 35 * 10 cm). Exact dimensions not important. Divide the page into several parts so that they are approximately the same aspect ratio as above.

We take a knitting needle and paper strip. We twist the corner of the paper around the knitting needle, and gradually, layer by layer, roll it into a tube. Secure the edge of the strip with a drop of glue. To make the tube the desired density, we lay the paper at 45° relative to the knitting needle. Then it will be quite dense, but at the same time it will bend well.

We take out the knitting needle. The tube is not too long; to work, you will have to splice them together. If everything is done correctly, one edge will be thin, the other will be thick and hollow from the inside. To connect two newspaper tubes, drop a few drops of PVA glue into the thick part and insert the second tube with a thin edge. Now we wait until it dries.

Painting and other processing methods

Sometimes, for more simple weaving, the tubes are rolled using a regular rolling pin. They become flatter. In this form it is easier to work with them - stretch them between the rows. But this is an optional step. Try “rolling”, maybe you will like weaving from newspaper tubes more this way.

Not everyone likes the “natural look” of newsprint weave. To improve the appearance, the wound tubes are painted. Acrylic paint is best suited for this. It fits tightly, works well with any type of paper, does not flow, dries quickly and has no odor. A water-based, moisture-resistant stain will also work. Paper tubes coated with acrylic varnish, to which a coloring pigment is immediately added, look good. Simultaneously with painting, they become less sensitive to moisture.

Painting each tube with a brush is long and tedious, so they look for a long tray into which the tubes are placed. Paint is poured into it, and ready-made newspaper tubes are lowered into it. Then they are laid out on a layer of polyethylene to dry.

Before starting weaving, so that the “newspaper vine” bends well, you can moisten it. It is better and easier to do this from a spray bottle, simply spraying water.

Beginning of weaving - forming the bottom

In most products, you first need to form the bottom. There are two options: make it out of cardboard, gluing stands to the edges. The option is simple and clear. Perhaps it is better for beginners - weaving the walls is a little easier than shaping the bottom. And so that the ends of the glued posts do not “scratch” the eyes, they are covered with a second similar piece of cardboard.

Among the features: in the corners you need to glue a double number of tubes. One will be on one side, the other on the other. In addition to the above option, there is another way - to stick them not on the corner, but on both sides. In this case, the racks are placed from the corner at a distance of no more than half a step (this is the distance at which you placed the other racks).

The second option is to weave the bottom from newspaper tubes. You will need long tubes - spliced from two or three. There are many methods, they are mainly taken from wicker weaving. The principle is the same - the tubes, one at a time or in groups, are intertwined with each other, forming a center. Then, using some of the lozins, they braid the warp, adding dimension or making it more rounded if necessary.

Round bottom for large items

It will be a little easier if you cross several tubes laid one next to the other. In the photo (see below) we took five tubes and intertwined them relative to each other. To make the bottom less voluminous, it must be flattened. The easiest way to do this is with a rolling pin or a bottle - rolling it several times. To make it easier to work further, coat the intersections with PVA glue.

Next, we take the straw and begin to tie the bottom, passing the straw through three tubes (the rope method). So - through three tubes - we make two rows. Then - several rows - after two. A few is to ensure that the dimensions of the bottom are almost “right” - in shape.

We weave the last two or three rows through one tube. During weaving, the warp tubes must be spaced at the same distance. This is actually how it works, you just need to make sure that the distance is the same.

When switching to weaving the walls, we cross the base tubes one with the other. This makes the product more stable and the transition more reliable. To weave the walls, you can use the working tubes that were used to weave the bottom.

A simple version of the bottom made of newspaper tubes

You can start weaving from round bottom tubes in an easier way. Such a bottom will not look so elegant, but for beginners we recommend trying this method.

For a small product, take eight long tubes. Four at a time we fold them crosswise. You can also roll them with a rolling pin and glue the joint - there will be fewer problems at the start.

In the described embodiment, 15 racks are obtained (16-1). If you need more, either add as you weave the bottom, or take a larger number from the source.

Photos and patterns of weaving bottoms of different shapes

As you gain experience, you will want to make products of other shapes - oval, rectangular, multi-faceted. The section contains several diagrams showing how to make forms more elegant and complex.

Weaving from newspaper tubes for walls

As soon as you start weaving products, the patterns will become clear to you. Having gained a little experience, you will learn how to reconstruct the weaving method by looking at the photo. For beginners, we recommend starting with the most simple patterns. This is a rope, and then a pigtail. It won't take much time to master them.

Rope

To master the technique of weaving from newspaper tubes, you will need about five to seven stands. To begin with, you can attach several pieces of thick wire to some kind of stand (a piece of dense foam plastic, for example).

This is what weaving looks like live on a “simulator”

We take two tubes and place them crosswise between the two outer posts. It turns out that one tube is in front of the work, the other is behind.
Holding the tubes at the intersection with one hand, bend them with the other, going around the next stand. As a result, the tube that was in front turns out to be behind, the one that was behind turns out to be in front.
We bend it again, going around the next rack and so on until the end of the row.

That's all - this is a method of weaving a “rope” from newspaper tubes. Already using this technique you can do the simplest things. The product is dense and durable. One important point: for this pattern to look normal, there must be an odd number of racks.

By changing the “starting” location of the tube, we get a different one appearance pattern

If you want to make it a little more complicated, you can take two tubes and go around two posts at a time. But then you need to calculate the number of racks so that the second row is offset - then the pattern will turn out to be interesting. No less interesting are two ropes directed towards each other, and not woven in one direction.

Chess

Checkerboard is another simple weaving method. To do this, you need to take two tubes, placing them one above the other.

This way you can weave a basket, tray and many other products. In terms of density, the product is not as strong as with the previous weave.

If you combine the two methods described, you get a rather interesting product. And if the transition is also decorated in a different color, it will be even prettier.

Shutdown

In order for the product to look neat, it is necessary, firstly, to remove the working tubes, and secondly, to somehow form the edge and do something with the stands.

We fix the working tubes

First you need to secure the working tubes. Usually they are hidden in the weave - in the nearest binding. For this operation you will need a knitting needle or a long wooden skewer.

It's simple and reliable way secure the working tubes. Their ends are hidden in the weaving, but are securely fixed and clamped. For those who are just starting to master paper weaving, this is perhaps the best option.

Weaving the edge - the main technique

Next, you can begin to close the edge. There are many different ways- more or less complex. The simplest one is to do the same as with the workers, but bend them inside the product. But then the edge is not very beautiful. If you want to make it more aesthetically pleasing, you can try the “rod” edge. It is not too difficult for beginners to master, and it looks interesting.

To close the edge with a “rod”, you need an auxiliary tube or you can take a skewer or knitting needle. With its help, we bend the first post to the right, bring it behind the next post and bring it forward. We bend it to the right in the same way, hook it behind the next one and bring two more posts forward. In total, we have three bent.

We cut it with pliers so that 8-9 mm of tube remains behind the stand. To fix this scrap, bend the first one to the right standing racks, pressing the cut edge. Again we have three tubes (bent) at work. Again we take the left one and repeat everything again.

A side is gradually formed that covers the top of the weave. We repeat all these steps until three stands remain: two bent and one standing. It’s easy to track this moment, it’s important not to miss it. This is where you need to be careful. If everything is done correctly, it will be impossible to find the place where the work begins/ends.

Final chords

When three racks remain uncovered, you need to make sure that the newspaper tubes are laid in the same sequence and in the same direction, so that they lie the same way as before. We take out the auxiliary tube or skewer with which we began to close the edge.

Again we take the leftmost tube, in front we go around the last standing post and then, according to the previous weaving algorithm, we need to lead it behind the next post. This stand is already bent and secured. This is the one with which they began to close the edge. We insert the tube from the back, slip it under the first curved post (it’s more convenient with a skewer) and pull it forward, laying the tube like the rest. We cut it off.

Now there are no standing racks, only three working ones remain. They must be laid in the same way as those that are already fixed. We take the far left one, it must be pulled under the third post. Look carefully. This is the first stand that does not have a cut tube near it. Stretch, lay, cut.

We stretch it under the third rack. If you look closely, this is the first one, under which there is no cut tube

We lay the left tube along the top, covering the tubes we just laid. We start it from the back, pull it under the counter, in front of the laid tube.

Here we extend...

We repeat the same operations with the next leftmost one. It must be placed behind an “empty” stand, near which there is no cut tube. This stand is located to the right of the one we just worked with. Here you can’t do without a skewer - you need to slip a newspaper tube under the two already laid (look at the photo).

We lay the tube on top, hiding the cut one above. We start it from the back, put it on a skewer and pull it out. Holding it with your fingers, we rock it from side to side so that there is a place for it and it “lies down.” We cut it off.

You also need to lay it out correctly - repeating the same pattern as before

All that was left was a newspaper tube sticking out. We start it behind the third rack. It’s not difficult to find your way: under the first two there are already scraps of the ones that were just laid. We insert the skewer under the laid turns and bring it out near the bent post.

Using a skewer, we bring the last rack out, laying it out so that it lies in the same way as the others. Now it can be trimmed. The edge of the basket is ready and it is impossible to find where the row begins and ends.

Photo ideas for weaving tubes

Beginning craftsmen master weaving from newspaper tubes on simple crafts. As you gain experience, you want to diversify your products and use more complex patterns. In some cases, interesting-looking weaving is not necessarily complex. Such an example is in the following photo gallery. It contains step by step photos creating chess weaving.

Beginning - we braid two posts The number of turns is at your discretion It is more convenient if the tube “looks” to the right We finish the second row of checkerboard weaving, cut off the extra working tubes and secure their ends Leave as many working tubes as needed

Surely you have old newspapers in your arsenal that have already been read and are lying idle. They can be used to create an unusual and original souvenir in the form of a basket or vase.

If you are not yet familiar with the technique of weaving such a product from newspaper tubes, then you should familiarize yourself with the step-by-step instructions.

To make a vase or basket from newspapers, prepare:

Old newspapers;
jar or bottle;
brush with PVA glue;
knitting needle with scissors;
cardboard with a ruler;
white acrylic paint with a hot gun (you don't have to use it).

Useful video: How to twist newspaper tubes

About 30 pieces of such blanks are needed.

When the tubes are formed, you should take a jar or bottle and place it on a sheet of cardboard, circle the base and cut out circles (2 pieces).

Watch the video tutorial for a detailed weaving process.

Weaving methods

It is enough for a novice craftsman to master several basic weaving methods. All other options are based on them and will not be difficult to deal with.

Spiral weaving. A simple option that even a child can master. The tubes are successively built up and threaded through the base in a continuous manner.
Layer weaving. Two tubes sequentially go around the posts so that one passes in front of it, and the other behind it. This principle is used on cotton fabrics.
Rope technique. The strips are intertwined with the posts on the product and with each other.

Mastering these basic techniques will lay the foundation for further experiments.

After mastering the basic techniques, you can begin your first job. It's better if it's a basket. This simple option will help you master the technology, and the finished product will certainly be useful in the household.

How to make a basket from newspaper tubes step by step

To make a basket you will need:

newspaper tubes;
base - pot or jar;
for the bottom;
acrylic paint;

Sequence of weaving a basket from newspaper tubes photo:

Two circles are cut out of cardboard. Newspaper tubes for the stands are glued to one of them at equal distances. The structure is closed from above with a second circle. The tubes - racks are bent upward. A form is inserted inside the frame. The top of the posts can be fixed wide elastic band. The frame is ready.
We weave the walls. To do this, we take a tube, fix its edge at the base of one of the racks and begin to weave it around the racks. When the length of the tube does not allow you to continue weaving, you need to increase the newspaper vine. To do this, the ends need to be inserted into each other, after dropping glue at the junction.

Important! When you twist the tubes, one end is narrower than the other. Accordingly, when connecting, the narrow tip is inserted into a wide hole.

To decorate the edges of the basket, the posts are sequentially intertwined with the main vine and secured on the inside with glue.
The last stage of work is decorating the product. To do this, the basket is completely covered with acrylic paint and two layers of acrylic varnish. Afterwards, you can decorate the basket with ribbons, beads, braid and other accessories.

Advice! The base of the basket can be made not from cardboard, but from tubes. To do this, a flat base is woven, the axes of which become racks.

In the same sequence, you can make a vase from newspaper tubes:

Secrets of weaving a rooster from newspaper tubes

The rooster is not only a symbol of the year, but also a talisman for the home. In Russian culture, the symbol of the rooster signifies wealth and prosperity in the family.

To weave a talisman you will only need newspaper tubes painted in bright colors.

It is necessary to create a basis. For strength, you can thread a wire inside the newspaper tube.
The cockerel's body, head, beak and beard are successively entwined with colored tubes.
The tail and paws are done last. If the weave is tight enough, the cockerel can be placed on its feet. For additional strength, it is better to coat the product with varnish.

Today, a new type of needlework is successfully developing - weaving from newspapers. For many, this activity has already become a hobby that is simply impossible to give up. This type of creativity helps you take a break from the everyday hustle and bustle, switch your attention and do useful things yourself to create home comfort. A laundry basket made from newspaper tubes will become an interesting decor in the bathroom interior.

Materials

To weave a basket you need to have the following tools:

ordinary newspapers that every home has;
dye to create the color of the future basket. Water-based stain is often used;
stationery knife and scissors;
long knitting needle, the diameter of which should be 2.5 ml;
PVA glue with a thin brush or glue in the form of a pencil;
regular clothespins for secure fixation;
ruler;
a simple pencil;
acrylic varnish;
brush;
weight for oppression.

Before you start weaving a basket, you need to imagine what it should be like. You should definitely take into account parameters such as shape, height and density of weaving. If you have difficulties with this, then you can use a bucket or box of the required size as a model.

How to make newspaper tubes?

When creating a laundry basket, paper is used, which is a substitute for wicker. Therefore, before starting work, it is necessary to prepare newspaper tubes. Sequence of actions:

Newspaper sheets must be made in A4 format. It is the size of the album sheet that is optimal and is 21x30 cm.
Each prepared leaf must also be cut into three leaves lengthwise, then the size of one leaf will be 7x30 cm.
Using a stationery knife, you can quickly and accurately make a large number of leaves of the required size. Such a knife will allow you to make smooth edges and eliminate traces of paper fibers. In the future, each strip will become a tube.
It is necessary to sort the sheets. Divide them into two piles: with printed text and with white stripes, which are always on the edges of newspaper sheets. This preparation will allow you to make white tubes from those strips that were on the edges of the newspaper sheet; the rest of the tubes will need to be painted.
Take one strip and place it vertically, with the white side on the right.
Place the knitting needle at the bottom left at an angle of about 30 degrees, and begin to wind the sheet onto it. When only 1 cm of strip remains, secure the tube with glue.
Next, do the same steps with the color newsprint. The only thing is that you need to try to hide all the dark areas in the middle.
After this work, you will receive identical paper tubes, the length of which will be slightly more than 30 cm.
A distinctive feature of each tube will be one pointed edge and the other in the form of a bell. This allows you to connect several tubes together using glue to create a long stick that resembles a vine.

Watch a short video tutorial on how to make straws from newspapers.

Painting the tubes

Before you start painting the tubes, you need to prepare your work area. Take a small tray and place plastic on it. You can dry the “vine” on it after painting. Prepare the stain and put gloves on your hands.

You can work with 10 tubes at once. Dip them in the stain for 3-5 seconds. Then lower the other end. After paint, each tube must be carefully placed on a tray, leaving some distance between the “vines”. When the tray is completely filled, then you can lay the straws on top as a “woodpile”.

To dry completely, just leave the tray with the straws for 12 hours. It is better to avoid additional sources of heat, since sudden drying can make the tubes dry out and they will lose their plasticity.

Weaving baskets of different shapes

Square

To create a wicker basket from newspaper tubes square shape you need to start by forming the bottom in the form of a square.

So, first you need to take a strip of cardboard, keeping in mind that the bottom of the basket will be slightly smaller than the size of the cardboard. Then fold it in half. Using a hole punch, make small holes in the cardboard, the distance between which should be no more than 2 cm. You need to insert a long “working rod” into the holes.

Now you can start weaving the bottom of the basket. The elongated tube must be woven next to the cardboard paper. When the weaving reaches the edge, then you need to make a turn and weave in the opposite direction. So that the “working vine” does not end, you constantly need to lengthen it - add more newspaper tubes. It is necessary to keep the size of the bottom under special control, as its width may narrow. Thus, it creates a square bottom of the desired size.

To see this process clearly, see the video below.

Next, you can move on to weaving the side walls of the basket. There are already two vines of the future frame, so it is necessary to make two more walls. To do this, you need to take a long newspaper tube, bend it in half and insert both ends into the bottom of the basket. The tails that appear on the back of the bottom need to be bent upward and secured. Thus, a stable frame is obtained. Depending on the desired height of the basket, it is necessary to create a “working vine” of the required size.

To securely fix the walls of the basket, you need to take a heavy object shaped like the future product and place it in the center. Next, the frame tubes are attached to it using an elastic band. For a square basket, it is very important to create smooth edges. When weaving a product of a different shape, you can do without a sample inside.

Weaving must begin from the bottom of the basket. You need to take a long tube and weave it into one of the sides, while alternating the position of the vertical tubes, from the front to the back. In this way you need to form all the walls.

At the beginning of weaving, the end of the “working vine” remains; in the future it will be used as one of the elements of the frame. It allows you to create an odd number of vertical tubes. After each row, the free end must be braided. The process of weaving the side walls occurs in a circle until you get a basket of the desired size.

For a simple way to weave walls with a rope pattern, see the video below.

Rectangular

To create a rectangular basket, you need to start by weaving a rectangular bottom. You need to create a cardboard pattern for the bottom of the basket. Then place it along the edge of the finished tube and secure the structure with clothespins. Next, you need to place paper tubes across the base, and in turn, each “vine” should go under or above the base, adhering to the required weaving density. For a while, the structure should be covered with another newspaper tube and secured with clothespins. The bottom will resemble a comb, so then you need to weave in new tubes, adhering to a checkerboard pattern, to create the necessary density of the bottom. When the bottom acquires the required density, the clothespins can be removed, because it will already hold its shape on its own. The width of the bottom depends entirely on the size of the pattern. When weaving the bottom, so-called rays will remain, which will later be used as the basis of the frame. With their help it will be possible to create the side walls of the frame.

Round

A round basket is the most difficult to make, because it takes a lot of effort to form a round bottom. The most in a simple way considered "rope". You need to take six tubes and connect them together using clothespins to create a single plane. Then this action should be repeated. The finished planes need to be laid crosswise.

Next you will need a “vine”, which will be used for further weaving of the product. It needs to be bent in half and the fork placed near the beam that forms the “cross”. When turning, the working tube must be bent. You should pass the top part down and the bottom part up until you reach another beam of six tubes. Bends should be made at an angle of 90 degrees, and the lower and upper parts of the “vine” should be constantly changed. This action must be performed four times. The result is a ring that should be immediately secured with clothespins.

After completing three circles, you need to take six tubes and move them apart in pairs to form a flat surface. Next, weaving with a working tube must be done every two tubes. And again make three circles. It is necessary to take steps to separate the couples. Weaving must be done before creating a base of the required size. The bottom of the round basket will resemble a sun, which consists of 24 rays.

Corner

When weaving a corner laundry basket from newspaper tubes, you should follow some rules due to the shape of the product:

For the basket posts, it is better to use tubes from a whole sheet of printer paper or take sheets from a magazine. Soft newspaper tubes cannot support the entire structure.
To create a flat bottom, you need to place a weight on it when designing the basket, paying special attention to the corners.
Before painting the product, it is necessary to calculate the amount of acrylic varnish, otherwise you will have to paint it with a different color, and the result will not be ideal.

Edge decoration

When the basket of the required height is ready, you need to hide the ends of the tubes that form the frame, and also do not forget to fix and hide the working tube. This will require a long knitting needle. It needs to be inserted into the hole near the rack in the middle for 3 rows. This is where you will need to hide the tip.

The action with the knitting needle must be repeated in the other direction also for 3 rows, put the stand on it and push it down. Thus, each rack will bend and tighten. At the end of the work, the edge of the product will be ready.

Each hole where the stand has fallen must be coated with glue and allowed to dry. After this, use scissors to trim all the edges of the protruding tubes. All sections must be carefully hidden between newspaper tubes.
