Hat made of newspaper tubes

Once upon a time, people read newspapers a lot. Much less now. However, there are a couple in every home. What fate awaits them? Storage in the attic, recycling... No. With patience and imagination, you can make a hat.

To make an original and wonderful hat we will need:
• newspapers;
• scissors;
• knitting needle (another thin stick);
• glue;
• clothespins;
• cardboard circle;
• suitable utensils;
• dye;
• varnish;
decor.

Stages of work:
1. You need to make tubes for weaving from newspaper sheets. Cut the newspaper into equal strips. One newspaper from 4 large sheets produces 16 pages.

2. Now we begin to make tubes from newspaper strips, winding the blanks onto a knitting needle. A few words about the thickness of the knitting needle. The thinner it is, the more elegant the product turns out. We apply a knitting needle to the lower left corner of the strip, fix it and begin to slowly wind it. The tube should be quite strong.
3. Glue the corner with PVA glue.

4. If you start twisting from the corner opposite to which there will be a white stripe on the newspaper, then the tube will turn out light, without inscriptions. If there is no white edge on the strip blank, then the tube turns out to be colored.
5.Let's start weaving. On a cardboard circle we attach 8 tubes with clothespins in the form of a simple pattern.

6. Next, insert one tube, also securing it with a clothespin to the base, and begin to braid in a circle.
7. While working, we extend the tube: insert the thin end into the thick one, adding a drop of glue.
