Technical progress does not stand still. And this is only a plus! But there are good old things, without which it is difficult for us to imagine our life (for example, printed newspapers and magazines). Soon they will disappear altogether from store shelves, because the Internet gives us almost all the necessary information. But it’s nice to hold a fresh newspaper in your hands and flip through it in search of an interesting article. Soon we will miss these feelings. In the meantime, you can perpetuate your favorite press, making crafts from newspapers and magazine sheets. After all, they probably gather dust in whole piles on forgotten shelves or in corners clogged with things.
Soon, crafts from old newspapers will be very valuable and even profitable. Perhaps a whole hype will begin among connoisseurs of antiquity and collectors. And even the usual papier-mâché technique will become a real treasure. Back in school, we did various crafts in this technique. And now you can take on more complex forms and create art masterpieces. To do this, it is necessary to tear the newspaper into small pieces and, after wetting them in water, paste over any object. There are several such newspaper layers. Next, the paper needs to be wetted in diluted PVA glue and continue to impose on the form. Ultimately, the model is dried, sanded, painted and varnished (the latter - if necessary). A finished item can be a great addition to home design.
Also newspaper crafts today are made using weaving technique. This new technique resembles the manufacture of
products from birch bark and twigs, as well as from vines. The technique consists in making crafts from newspapers and magazines by flattening tubes or strips of press sheets and further weaving them. Finished products can be painted and varnished, or remain in their original form - in a newspaper and print design. This gives them a special chic and old-fashioned look.
Crafts from newspapers, modern masters brought to a high level of needlework. Now, not only cups and baskets are made of newspaper tubes, but also original lamps, coffee tables, bags, coasters for any items, even chairs and various decorative elements of the interior. For example, you can easily make an exclusive photo frame. To do this, you need to twist from the newspapers or magazines the same tubes the width of the finished frame. Then stick them together and to the frame in a horizontal position. This is an elementary example. You can also lay out flowers or curls from such tubes, fold some of them vertically - the frame will turn out even more original and will decorate any home, making it more comfortable and warm, warmed by handwork. And if you make such crafts from newspapers as a gift, then for a long time they will delight the eyes of the new owners and create comfort in their homes. After all, it is so nice to remember your relatives and friends depicted in the photograph, which is in a frame made with special trepidation.
Crafts from newspapers are becoming more popular. They are exclusive, original and creative. Do not wait long - get out the press and get to work! You will succeed!
