Bell from newspaper tubes. Master Class

This bell will be a wonderful gift for students and teachers. But it can also be a great decoration for your home. It is very easy to make.

For manufacturing we need:
- Newspaper or magazine.
- PVA glue.
- spoke.
- gold spray paint.
- white bow.
- universal glue "Titan".
Let's get to work. We take a magazine and cut it into strips 45x10 cm in size.

Now we begin to twist the strip into a tube. We put it on the lower right corner and fold it tightly. When the entire strip is folded, we coat the upper left corner with PVA glue.

Here we have such a tube.

We immediately prepare how many tubes so as not to interrupt the weaving of the bell for twisting the missing tubes.

We begin to weave a bell. To do this, take 6 tubes. And we fold them cross by cross in 3 pieces.

Take two tubes and connect them together. Then we bend from a little above the middle. These will be working tubes with which we will weave a bell.

We take a working tube and lay it on the cross of the tubes. So that the tubes are sandwiched between the working tubes.

Since the working tube has two ends, we turn the first one forward into a row of tubes, and wind the second one behind it.

Then we move on to the third side of the cross and fold the second tube and put it on top of the row, and start the first one on it.

We also cross the working tubes on the fourth side of the cross.

When we fixed all sides of the cross, we got the base. And now, when the base is ready, we proceed to braiding each tube separately. In the same way, crossing the tubes, we braid each main one.

So we weave a full row.

We also weave the next rows, but we bend the main tubes so that weaving is of the correct shape, a bell. We will get the shape of a three-dimensional oval.

Weave another 17 rows.

Gradually, the ends of the main tubes are taken away so that the edges of the weave are wider than the middle of the bell.

Here is the main bell. Weaving is finished.

Now we fix the ends of the main tubes. We tie them into the base.

Now we start weaving the tongue for the bell. We take three tubes. We clamp the ends on one side and begin to weave.

We put the first tube on the second. Second to third. And the third to the first. So we continue to weave.

A do-it-yourself bell made from newspaper strips is a Christmas toy or just a wonderful New Year's craft that you can decorate a house or any other room for the New Year.

After watching a master class on weaving a paper bell, you can probably do the same for yourself. Making crafts is very simple, besides, MK has step-by-step photos and a detailed description. In general, watch and create your own unique handicrafts.

How to make a bell out of newspaper tubes

To make a bell, you will need newspaper, glue, paints and a desire to create. We twist the tubes from newspaper strips.

Got 10 ends. From nine we will make side stripes, and with the help of the 10th we begin to weave the base of the bell in a circle.

We gradually build up the tubes and twist the round base to the desired size.

Due to the shape of the glass, the bell will expand. As soon as we have reached the edge of the glass, we remove it and pin the bell to another shape, for example, a deep bowl, to give the bell the right curves.

We fix the extra tips, laying them under the transverse stripes inside the bell. We make a loop from a newspaper tube. It remains only to paint our product.

After the paint has dried, decorate with gold dust and stick a bow or any other decor.

A pair of these bells will decorate any room and become a kind of symbol.
