Do not despair, because you can make a spectacular decor element yourself from ... old magazines. Tricky ways to alternatively use unwanted glossy waste paper will help you make something special with your own hands.

1. Photo frame

The rolled pages of glossy magazines and catalogs can be used to create and decorate photo frames and mirrors. New colorful frames are perfect for children's pictures and wall decor.

We are celebrating cleaning day! We ruthlessly throw away everything that clutters up your space, easily part with old things, take out clothes that have not been worn for more than a year to the trash. Determined, bold, tough. Something new, good, bright and cool can only come where there is a place for it, so remember: the more you release, the more you get. However, it may not be worth throwing everything away at once: old magazines, for example, is a great opportunity to create something new. Ideas and options - a lot! Crafts from old magazines interesting and unconventional. It is not at all necessary to make Soviet curtains for the kitchen - believe me, you can come up with something interesting and cool so much that it will drag you in and create a precedent for new and new projects. So, ? Let's figure it out together.

What to do with old magazines - 5 master classes:

1. Candy plate

Oh, how nice it is when there is a full vase of sweets on the table! Their mere presence is uplifting. You can even not eat at all - just admire, this is already enough to make your soul warm and sweet. By the way, a handmade plate from old magazines, which looks stylish and interesting, very well increases the degree of this sweet joy.

2. Decoration on the door

A thing, frankly, of dubious functionality. But cool! Decorate the door with such a trinket - and immediately the mood will rise, jump up, improve and just smile. After all, not everything in life has to be practical and functional, right? You can sometimes indulge in nonsense!

3. Wall panel

Wall panel from old magazines? Why not? It will definitely turn out interesting and cool! You can arrange in the form of meaningful words, you can make a collage of pictures, you can, in the end, just depict an abstraction using color spots! The key one: to create, having fun, to create, not embarrassed and not afraid!

4. Garland from old magazines

Well, yes, not the most durable option - this is a one-day garland: I did it for some reason, decorated the room and took it off after a couple of days. But the transience of her life in no way detracts from the merits: it is done easily, it turns out joyful, it performs its function at 100%. What else do you need from a homemade garland?

Newspaper tube weaving is based on traditional wicker weaving. Currently, it has gained great popularity, because this material is always at hand, and by connecting fantasy, you can create beautiful crafts from newspaper tubes. Master classes on creating crafts for beginners will help with this. After the hand is “full”, you can start creating more complex products.

Clean printing paper is best for weaving. It is soft and spreads evenly. If it is not possible to find such paper, then to create original crafts from newspaper tubes, sheets of ordinary newspapers can be used. You can work with office paper, but it is quite thick, and this is inconvenient.

Basket

• newspaper or magazine sheets;
• cardboard;
• knitting needle or wooden skewer;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• ruler;
• tassel;
• pencil.

Cut the newspaper into squares measuring 10 by 10 centimeters (longer tubes will require larger squares).

Put the needle on the corner of the sheet and wrap the paper around it tightly. Pull out the pin. To prevent the tube from unwinding, smear the edge of the newspaper with glue before twisting. Carry out such an operation with all sheets of the newspaper.

From cardboard, cut 2 identical circles for the base of the basket. The volume of future crafts depends on the diameter of the circles.

Glue 8 newspaper sticks onto one cardboard circle as shown in the photo.

Glue the second circle on top. For 10-20 minutes, this workpiece should be put under the press.

After that comes the most important stage - weaving. It is necessary to lift one tube from the workpiece vertically and glue the tube horizontally to it, as shown in the photo.

This tube must be brought behind the nearby frame vine so that it bypasses it from the outside, and the next tube from the inside. If the vine with which we braid ends, then we take another tube and, as it were, screw it into the edge of the last vine, and continue to weave.

Covering the frame tubes from the outside, and then inside, weave all the rows until the desired height of the basket is obtained.

When the last row is made, cut the tube of the vine obliquely, smear its edge with glue and bring it inside the basket to the limit. Cut the frame tubes too, grease with glue and fill the crafts inside.

To make a handle, you need to weave 2 tubes with a bundle. So that they do not unravel, it is better to glue them. Bring the edges of the handle inside the basket and grab it with glue.

If desired, a finished basket of newspaper tubes can be painted, decorated with decorative flowers, beads, decoupage.

Hat

Required materials and tools:

• newspapers;
• scissors;
• glue;
• Bowl.

Make 10 long newspaper tubes (you can see how to make them in the previous master class).

Fold 8 tubes crosswise, as in the photo.

Connect the remaining 2 tubes to each other and lead them over a horizontally lying stack.

Weaving is carried out immediately with 2 tubes using the “rope” technique. Bring one tube under the base of the hat, the other - from above, cross each other. Do this with all ends of the base cross.

Weave the second circle with the same technique.

On the third circle, braid each base vine with a “string”, dividing them among themselves.

To make the hat even and neat, we apply the weave to the convex bottom of the bowl and use it as a shape.

For convenience, we fix the vines with clothespins over the edges of the bowl. So they will not get confused and interfere.

Continue weaving until the hat is deep enough.

Remove the bowl and start weaving the brim of the hat.

Cut the vine that was woven and bring its edges inside the craft.

Take a new tube and thread it into the loops near the base vines, as shown in the photo.

Do this with each base vine, inserting new tubes into the loops next to it.

To weave the fields, you will need one vine, which will braid each tube with a "rope" technique.

Weave until the margins are wide enough.

After that, bring all the remaining base vines inside the crafts and fill them into the cells.

Cut off unwanted ends with scissors or wire cutters.

You can decorate the hat with acrylic paints, decorate with artificial flowers, ribbons.

Fungus

Required materials and tools:

• newspapers;
• wire;
• scissors;
• glue;
• Bowl.

For the base you need 8 newspaper tubes. In order for the fungus to keep its shape well, a thin wire is inserted into the tubes. From them, make the base in the shape of a square, as shown in the photo.

To make the base for the fungus neat and convex, you need to place it on a small bowl. Continue braiding the vines further, but now sticking to the shape of the bowl.

After the mushroom cap is ready, remove the bowl. Bend the tubes in such a way that a leg is obtained.

Braid the inside of the mushroom and go out on the leg, as shown in the photo. At this stage, the leg should be slightly widened so that it does not turn out to be straight.

The wire at the base of the tubes will not allow the craft to unravel, so the edges of the tubes can simply be wrapped inside the fungus.

To decorate the fungus, you need to paint its leg with white paint and the hat with brown. After the whole craft must be covered with a colorless varnish.

panel

Crafts from newspaper tubes with your own hands are a great way to decorate the interior. Exclusive option - panel.

Required materials and tools:

• newspaper sheets;
• PVA glue;
• brush for glue;
• knitting needle or skewer made of wood;
• acrylic or food paints;

• PVA glue;
• brush for glue;
• knitting needle or skewer made of wood;
• acrylic or food paints;
• stationery knife;
• scissors;
• linen thread.

Progress:

1. Spread the sheets of newspaper across the long side, bend in half and cut with a clerical knife.
2. Wind the resulting sheet onto a pencil diagonally from the right corner so that one edge is slightly wider than the other. Lubricate the edge of the sheet with a small amount of glue so that the tube does not unwind.

   

3. Insert three tubes into each other, fixing with glue. Such long tubes need 5 pieces.

   

4. Place the tubes according to the photo and start weaving, taking into account that the right or left product is planned.

   



5. At the end of weaving, thread the end of the tube with a knitting needle along the entire length of the sole.
6. After the bast shoes are ready, you can paint them with a water-based stain "Oak", and then apply acrylic paint white color. The paint is applied with a semi-dry brush in random strokes, creating the effect of antiquity.

   

7. When the paint is completely dry, coat the product with a primer. To do this, mix PVA glue with water in a ratio of 3 to 2. This will make the bast shoes strong.
8. To decorate the bast shoes, it is enough to use linen thread, wrap the edges of the bast shoes with it, creating the effect of antiquity.

   

Frame

Another way to use newspaper tubes is to make crafts and decorations from twisted spirals, such as creating an original photo frame.

Required materials and tools:

• sheets of newspapers or magazines;
• PVA glue;
• tassel;
• knitting needle or skewer made of wood;
• acrylic paints;
• scissors;

• sheets of newspapers or magazines;
• PVA glue;
• tassel;
• knitting needle or skewer made of wood;
• acrylic or gouache paints;
• scissors;

Progress:

1. Prepare tubes.

   

2. Fasten 13-15 tubes together, wrapping them with a thread and a strip of paper smeared with glue. Thus, a tree trunk is formed.

   

3. With the next tube, smeared with glue, wrap the formed trunk in a spiral to the required height. If the tube ends, insert the next one into it and continue weaving.

   

4. Divide the trunk into 2 unequal parts, forming branches. Wrap each branch with a tube smeared with glue.

   

   

5. Separate the branches again and wrap them around. Continue dividing until 1 tube remains in each branch.

   

6. Trim the last branches to the desired length and form curls.

   

7. Wrap the lower part of the trunk with another layer of tubes, slightly thickening it.

   

8. Cover the finished tree with a mixture of PVA glue and gouache.

   

9. After the glue has dried, varnish the product and decorate.

   

Box

Required materials and tools:

• sheets of newspapers or magazines;
• PVA glue;
• felt-tip pen;
• knitting needle or skewer made of wood;
• scissors;
• dye.

Progress:

1. Prepare tubes and a box of a suitable shape, which will be braided during work.

   

   

   

2. To begin with, form the frame of the future product. To do this, at the bottom of the box, mark the places where the main tubes pass, given that the more often they are located, the denser and stronger the weaving will be. There should also be warp tubes at the corners of the box.
3. Glue the tubes according to the markup.

   

4. Start weaving the walls of the box. To do this, glue an additional tube to the base tube, which will be used for weaving. Braid the tubes of the base in the classic way: the first outside, the second inside, the third outside, and so on.

   

5. In this way, braid the box completely. If the working tube ends, it is “built up” by inserting an additional one into it, smearing the edge with a small amount of glue.

   

   

6. At the end of the work, cut off the edge of the working tube at an angle of 45 degrees and hide it inside the product. The main tubes are also cut off and brought inside, fixed with a small amount of glue.

   

7. Paint the finished box with acrylic or water-based spray paints.

   

8. After the paint has completely dried, decorate the product using satin ribbons, artificial flowers and beads.

Surely, many of us have old magazines that have already been read and re-read more than once, but the hand does not rise to throw them away. Almost everyone subscribes to newspapers, which then turn into huge piles of waste paper.

And, of course, we all get free flyers out of our mailboxes. Do not rush to get rid of this "wealth": you still need it. See what an unusual and, most importantly, beautiful do-it-yourself decor from unnecessary newspapers and magazines you can make. These cheerful and fun crafts from magazines are sure to decorate your home. What can be done from magazines with your own hands - now we'll figure it out.

What is needed for this?

What attracts this way of decor? Firstly, it is easy to perform: you do not need any special skills, surrender to the will of your imagination. Secondly, it does not take up much space and time. Thirdly, you can involve the whole family in such funny handicraft and have fun and exciting time. So here's what you need to know:

Scissors;

PVA glue and glue stick;

Ruler, pencil;

A thin bamboo stick or knitting needle (we will wind paper tubes on it);

The surface you are going to decorate.

Surely, you have noticed that the decor from old newspapers and magazines is based on the use of the same blanks - newspaper and magazine tubes and strips rolled up by a snail. By varying their size and color, you can create interesting compositions and transform ordinary or already boring things - photo frames, mirrors, wall clocks, vases, floor lamps, candlesticks and all kinds of boxes for storing a thousand and one little things. In such an original way, you can arrange gift wrapping or make a panel on the wall. So, let's learn how to make these blanks.

Newspaper and magazine tubes

1. Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half, smooth the fold well with scissors.

2. Place a bamboo stick or a knitting needle diagonally (the size of your future workpiece depends on its diameter) and start winding the tube carefully and tightly. After several layers, coat the remaining sheet with glue. It should not be too liquid (it is better to take a glue stick). After you get the tube of the diameter you need, carefully remove the stick.

3. Done! Now it remains to dry it and create masterpieces .

You can use these newspaper tubes in their original round form. Cut them into pieces of the length you need and glue them end to end. Do not feel sorry for the glue, they should be well fixed. If you don't want to get your hands dirty, you can use double-sided tape.

On a note: In order to fix the magazine tubes with a “herringbone”, it is not at all necessary to cut them, you can simply gently bend them, as shown in the photo.

No less beautiful look "flattened" tubules. If you “flatten” them a little, you get a very interesting shape, which is simply a sin not to beat (see photo). In this case, you cut short pieces and glue them at the cut point. .

It will be effective if you squeeze such tubes strongly and cut the resulting strips into small pieces. Butt-gluing them is not necessary (see a photo).

Newspaper and magazine "snails"

1. Take a sheet 8 times as wide as the intended strip. Fold it in half in the same way, then fold the edges to the middle and fold it in half again. Smooth each fold well so that your strip is as thin and neat as possible.

2. Now we twist the "snail". To do this, start winding the strip on a bamboo stick or knitting needle (you can also take a pencil or felt-tip pen, then you will get magazine “rings”). Do not forget to smear the inside of the strip with glue so that the “snail” does not spread.

3. After you have received the blank of the right size, cut off the rest of the strip and let the “snail” dry .

In the decor, both blanks of the same size or color look beautiful, as well as different ones. Turn on your fantasy! By the way, the strips do not have to be twisted, they can be used in this way, winding them in a spiral onto a cylindrical surface, for example, a vase, a round box or a candlestick. If desired, the finished composition can be painted or coated with a layer of varnish. And a few more words about the background. It can be just a white surface or a surface pasted over with magazine or newspaper pages.

Unusual panel of magazine strips

And finally, another very interesting and simple idea for a do-it-yourself panel. In this case, you do not need to twist the tubes or snails, just cut thin strips (you can use both color pages and black and white). You will need a frame with a passe-partout, preferably under glass, and two sheets of cardboard. On white cardboard the size of your frame, stick magazine strips at a small distance from each other. From the second sheet (it is better to take cardboard with an interesting texture), create a stencil. Now put the stencil on the background of the stripes, fix it - and under the frame. If it allows, it is better to put a sealant between the sheets of cardboard, then the picture will turn out to be three-dimensional .

It is unlikely that anyone will be left indifferent by homemade items decorated in such a simple, but very effective way. In addition, this is a great opportunity for creative self-expression and relaxation. Create beauty with your own hands with pleasure!
