A few months back, I had made a leaf-shaped tray using the technique of coiling with newspaper tubes. I decided to revisit the tray, this time using wood-stained tubes, the same ones I had used for this box with lid. This tray...
More newspaper weaving, this time using magazine rolls. I had rolled up these tubes in the fond hope of making a pen holder. But for one reason or the other, I never got around to making them. So finally, thanks to new year resolutions,...
So, after the last post on all the popular origami from last year, I realised that newspaper weaving was lagging behind. So I decided to try and complete at least 12 projects of newspaper weaving this year. With that goal in mind,...
Merry Christmas 2019, dear blog readers! It feels like the year had just begun and we are already at the end and looking forward to a new decade! Time does fly, doesn't it? Anyway, in the Christmas tradition,...
I have rolled up tubes for a Christmas project but before that, decided to try out a little box with lid using the red/green combination. I have tried this method before, when I made a blue tray, but since it's been a long time...
After the strenuous coiled or root-woven tray from my last post, I was more than happy to try out this acorn box made from black newspaper tubes. I have been trying out various acrylic colours which will completely blot out any...
One of the traditional methods of basket-weaving involves a technique called coiling. This technique combines a process of coiling materials such as grass and binding them together using flexible fibres. The same process can...
Shades of Blue is my current version of the bowl that I had initially tried out a few days back. I am very pleased with the way this bowl has turned out. The base of smoother than my previous efforts and the weaving is much improved,...
My second attempt at making a bowl was a better success I think! I have been repeatedly told that the tubes in which the print is visible, are much more unique in appearance. So I went ahead with printed tubes which were coloured...
Ok, New Year and new trials! 😆 So my latest trial in newspaper weaving involved attempting a bowl. And this has been a project of new attempts! First, till now, my problem has been getting a good bowl shape. Why? Because one...
So, turns out that newspaper tubes that actually show the newspaper are very popular. I have had repeated demands to make more such products and that is exactly what I have done. This box, made from brown and yellow newspaper...
Since I am fairly confident of making circular dishes using newspaper weaving, I decided to venture a little further and try my hand at other shapes. The model I had readily available with me was a square dish, so I decided to...
Well, a recent order for a pot holder made from newspaper rolls with order to 'go crazy!' gave me the liberty to try out this cute snail pot holder. Since I wanted the newspaper print to be visible, I coloured the paper with...
By far, my most professional attempt at my paper weaving projects, this orange and grey newspaper woven cup and saucer is my personal favourite. The tubes were actually part of my previous project - a coffee themed...
Of late, I have been making paper reeds in the fond hopes of making a bowl. I had previously made a paper woven bowl and basket and after coating it with a mixture of fevicol and water, I have found it to be quite robust! Since...
