Decorative wall clock

From ordinary newspaper sheets it is not difficult to make a bright decorative craft that resembles the sun - a clock - and decorate your home with it. The clock mechanism is not used; the clock is used to decorate the walls. To work you will need about 30 newspaper or magazine sheets, a pencil or pen, a needle, scissors, thread, 2 plastic disks. Then carry out the work as follows.

Each individual sheet of newspaper or magazine must be rolled into a tube. To do this, wrap the sheet around a pencil and then remove it. You will get about 30 blanks.
Next, each tube is bent in the shape of a tick: one end of which is lower than the other, so the rays of the sun will look more impressive, since they will be of different lengths.
The next step is to pin each “tick” of paper onto a long needle and thread, alternating the small and long sides. Then you need to tie everything together with thread and secure the resulting sun from newspapers.
Afterwards you need to glue it on one side and the other on a plastic disk. The discs need to be glued.
The final step is to attach the old clock mechanism on the back side, and the hands will be on the front. All the bright decor to decorate your home is ready.

Bouquet of roses from newspapers

Various homemade bouquets from scrap materials are well used for home decoration; children also love to make such crafts for an exhibition in kindergarten or school. Paper bouquets look very original; you can make compositions of different colors and shapes from them. For work, you need to prepare the following materials: newspapers, scissors, a glue gun with hot glue, floral wire, decorative tape. A step-by-step description is discussed below.

Circles with a diameter of about 10 cm are cut out of newspapers.
Next, you need to cut a spiral from the circle, the width of the line is 2-3 cm.
Afterwards, a rosebud is formed: you need to grab the outer end of the spiral with your hand and begin to fold the paper towards the inner end. The collected flower needs to be corrected: slightly loosen the spiral, giving the bud a blossomed appearance.
Next, the flower is secured with hot glue using a glue gun.
The next thing to do is to prepare the floral wire, bend one end at a 90 degree angle and glue the bud onto it with hot glue. The end of the wire on which the flower was glued can be hidden under a layer of paper.

The assembled bouquet must be secured with wire. If the ends of the bouquet turn out to be very long, they can be trimmed.
Next, the stems are wrapped in a beautiful decorative ribbon, which is secured with hot glue.

Weaving a basket from newspapers

It’s not difficult to make newspaper baskets with your own hands; you just need to follow a certain sequence of actions, which will be described below. To make a basket you should prepare: newspapers or magazines, jute, stapler, scissors.

The prepared newspapers are cut into 20 strips, the width of which will be 8 cm. The length of the strips can be adjusted later.
Each strip is folded in half along the long side 3 times.
Then you can start weaving the basket. First, a bottom is made, onto which 10 strips of newspaper are taken, each located horizontally and vertically and all intertwined. Each vertical stripe passes through each horizontal stripe either above or below. This is how the bottom of the basket is formed.
To strengthen the base of the basket, jute is stretched between the strips of the bottom.
Next, the strips are bent perpendicular to the bottom of the basket. Then you need to continue weaving the basket upward, starting from one side.
At the final stage of work, all sides are connected; you can use a stapler. The ends sticking up are folded inward and hidden in the weaving.
The assembled basket can be coated with glue to make it more rigid and not fall apart during use. It can also be decorated with decorative elements also made of paper: these can be various flowers and other homemade decorations.

It will be interesting for children to try themselves as basket knitters, although this process is quite labor-intensive and requires special perseverance.

Some people mistakenly think that children's crafts require the choice of special materials. This is not so: there are technologies for home creativity that are passed down from generation to generation, such as weaving from old newspapers.

From paper you can make various children's crafts and simply decorative things for the home. Parents and children should take a closer look at such simple materials and use a little imagination to create their own individual masterpieces from ordinary newspapers and old magazines.
