Let's start weaving crafts using newspaper weaving technique:
To begin, cut out two circles from cardboard and cover both sides with fabric. Next, glue newspaper tubes to one of the cardboards, and glue the other on top. We weave several rows and lift the tubes. We weave the walls with ordinary rope into two tubes.

We form a bend from the risers. First we bend them all outwards, and then inwards. To ensure that they do not break and it is convenient to form a bend, we moisten them with water.

Next we start painting the wicker. Mix PVA glue and water in a 1:1 ratio. Using a brush, carefully saturate the wicker with the resulting solution. Let the basket dry overnight. After the product has dried, coat it with acrylic varnish and leave it to dry again.
