It is necessary
- - newspaper tubes;
- - wire;
- - PVA glue;
- - clothespins;
- - green paint;
- - varnish.
Instructions
Step 1
Take 3 long newspaper tubes and reinforce them with wire, threading it inside the tubes.
Step 2
Fix the tubes to each other from one end, and from the other add 4 more unreinforced tubes and wrap them with a tube, pre-lubricated with PVA, thereby forming the leg of the leaf. Secure the structure with clothespins to dry out.
Step 3
Spread 2 reinforced tubes on opposite sides, and the lower one will serve as the bottom. Try to keep the same distance between the tubes.
Step 4
Taking a working tube, weave it with a "string", braiding the risers of the leaf from the back convex side. Then, having wrapped the weaving, continue to braid, keeping the shape of an oblong leaf.
Step 5
Paint the woven blank, prime and varnish. Tone the product to match shades of green, giving the leaf a more natural color.
