Weaving a vase from newspaper tubes: detailed MK with photo
Let's take an example of weaving a floor vase from newspaper tubes for beginners.
To make vases of different shapes and diameters, you can use a stand and thick paper circles of different sizes as a base.
This allows for a wide variety of work. The circles are attached with clothespins at different heights, which results in vases that are different in shape.
Step 1. Rolling newspaper tubes, coloring them and drying them. Large vases require 100 or more tubes.
Step 2. Work starts from the bottom. Let's make it using a braided method with a diameter of 38 cm.
Step 3. Next, install a stand on the finished bottom. Place the first circle of the base measuring 46 cm at a height of 7 cm. Now you need to weave the rope in a circle, directing the posts to the center of the base. As soon as the height of the vase has reached the circle, we remove the latter to the side.
Step 4. Attach the next circle with a diameter of 38 cm at a height of 37 cm to the stand and make 3 rows with a rope. Then you should place the base at a height of 14 cm from the bottom. Weave another 7 cm, also directing the posts towards the center.
Step 5. Change circles again. The size of the 3rd circle is 28 cm. Place it at a height of 19 cm. Weaving goes to the edge of the base, then remove the circle.
Step 6. Next, place a 20-centimeter circle at a height of 26 cm and again weave to the edge. That's it, the work with the circles is finished. Now you will need a pipe, for example, from paper towels. It is needed to make the neck. We continue working until we reach the edge of the base. It is important to note that with each change of circles, the inside of the vase must be coated with varnish in 1-2 layers and dried thoroughly.
Step 7. Varnish the finished product.
This is what our interior work looks like.

No. 3. Vase woven in a spiral. You can put artificial flowers or ikebana in it.
No. 4. Vases can be made not only by traditional weaving, but also by gluing circles made from bundles of different sizes, which are glued together.
No. 5. Another unusual way is to glue the bundles lengthwise to each other. The ends of the tubes are cut off from the top along an oblique line and you get an original thing. Such a vase is additionally strengthened with two transverse tubes at the top and bottom.
Weaving a spiral vase
Step 1. Stock up on paper vines.
Step 2. We make a wicker bottom. We take 4 triples of tubes to get started.
Step 4. Having finished the bottom, we move on to the walls. The spiral is woven in six bundles, the rest are folded and connected with a clothespin at the top. The tubes are placed on top of each other and bent. They continue weaving to the very top.
Step 5. The bundles remaining inside are pulled out and intertwined with each other.
Step 6. Coloring.
Following any of the proposed MKs, it will be very easy to make a vase for your home or as a gift for someone in the handmade style.
A floor vase is a stylish decoration for any interior. Moreover, if it is made of newspaper tubes - this unpretentious, at first glance, material actually looks very attractive and successfully emphasizes the originality of the home. Do you want to get this kind of decor too? There is nothing simpler - here are step-by-step instructions for beginners with a useful supporting video.
Forming the bottom of the product
Before you start weaving, prepare the supplies and tools:
- twisted newspaper tubes;
- PVA glue;
- scissors;
- stationery knife;
- colorless varnish or paint;
- materials for decorating a vase: ribbons, sparkles, beads.
The first stage of work is weaving the bottom. First, form four bundles of three newspaper flagella each. Fold them crosswise. Prepare another flagellum - it will be a worker. Then take this working tube, fold it in half and braid it around the base so that it wraps around each of the four bundles. You need to weave four to five rows in a circle, increasing the working tube as necessary.
Next, begin to wrap the working flagellum around every two tubes of the base. Thus it is necessary to weave four more rows. Then separate all the flagella of the bottom and braid each of them with a working tube, that is, all 12. The number of rows is at your discretion. When the bottom reaches the width you need, cut the end of the working rope and secure it with glue to the finished base.
Weaving the “body” of the vase
The direct “body” of the product is woven as follows:
- Bend the protruding tubes upside down.
- Take any disc-shaped object - a lid, plate, bowl, etc. Insert it between the vertical posts.
Advice. The radius of the form-building object should be wider than the radius of the bottom.
- Secure the ends of the vertical tubes with an elastic band. Identify two working strands and braid them around the main tubes in a circle, repeating the shape of your disc-shaped object.
- When you have weaved the “body” of the vase to the required height, remove the form-building object.
Advice. At this stage, you should coat the inside of the vase with varnish so that the structure does not weaken over time.
- Start weaving the neck - gradually bring the vertical flagella closer together, thereby narrowing the vase.
- When the neck is completed, spread the tubes slightly, bend them in a semi-horizontal position and weave the border. To do this, you need to wind the bundles under each other in a circle: the first - under the second, the second - under the third, and so on.
- After completing the border, trim the ends of the flagella and fix them with glue on the outside of the finished product.
- Cover the vase with varnish or glue. When the product is dry, you can start decorating.
As you can see, making a vase from newspaper tubes with your own hands is not at all difficult, so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Attention, TODAY only!
A floor vase will fit well into any interior, regardless of its style and inhabitants, but here’s the problem: a good floor vase costs a lot of money, and the fragile materials from which it is made are unacceptable in the house if there is a pet or a small child. Our photo master class will tell you how to make inexpensive and unbreakable floor vases with your own hands.
Making a vase, let alone a floor one, with your own hands from scratch is always not easy, but a few hours of work spent will save you a considerable amount of money, and the result will please you and will definitely make you proud of yourself! So, today we are making a vase woven from newspaper with our own hands.
All we need for this master class is just: a stack of old newspapers, PVA glue, a pan lid and a pair of hands.
- We start weaving by forming bundles from newspaper sheets; this is extremely simple to do: just roll the newspaper sheet into a tube from one corner to the other.
- It is better to cut the bottom of the vase out of cardboard. This technique will greatly reduce your time. However, if you still want to weave the bottom by hand, you should form four bundles of four strands each and fold them crosswise, alternately each of the strands should be run in a circle, wrapping around each of the four bundles. In this way, the first three rows are woven, and then the quartet of tubes is divided in pairs and three more rows are braided in the same way. Having finished, we already have 6 rows of weaving and now we wrap each of the tubes separately.
- We move on to weaving the walls of the vase: we bend the protruding strands upward and braid each of them with a strand. Thus, we form the leg of the vase; its width depends entirely on your wishes.
- Now a lid, or a plate, or generally anything disc-shaped and wider in area than the bottom of the vase is used. We insert the lid between the posts of the bundles, in the place where the vase leg will expand; accordingly, the lower you place the lid, the wider your vase will be, and vice versa.
- We continue to weave another 10 rows using the same technique.
- Next, using an elastic band, or with our own hands, we begin to gradually bring the edges of the strands-stands closer together, that is, we move on to weaving the narrow neck of the vase.
- We braid the tapering neck until we have to braid two stand-up strands instead of one.
- We spread the strands apart again and weave the rim of the vase.
- We bend one post after another one by one.
- Having reached the fifth post, return to the first one again and bend its tail under the fifth post, and then fix it with the fourth. Next, according to the same pattern, we bend the second post to the seventh and cover the sixth, the third to the eighth, etc.
- We pass one post through the windows that appear in each binding until a semblance of a braid is formed.
- We cut off the protruding remains of the tubes and our vase is ready! We cover it with PVA, or transparent varnish and, if desired, paint.
And so we learned how to make a floor vase from newspaper yourself. If you want, you can use the same technique to weave a vase from twigs, rattan, rubber tubes, fabric, or anything else at all. Handmade vases from a variety of materials are suitable for any home. Such an interior detail can be woven using different techniques, vary in size, embroider and paint it in absolutely any colors. PVA-coated vases are not afraid of moisture, so they are easy to wipe off dust, and the unbreakable materials from which they are made will not injure you and your family.

What is important in weaving from newspaper tubes:
- Have a large supply of material. Often, many sheets of newspaper are required to keep the tubes tight.
- Have plenty of glue. It is, of course, advisable to use dry pencil glue, but it is quickly consumed and costs several times more than regular PVA.
- It is advisable to weave from already dried tubes.
- While working, use a knitting needle or crochet hook to help you align and adjust the weave.
- Cover the finished product with a layer of acrylic paint or automotive paint (in a can). After the paint layer has dried, it is advisable to cover the product with a layer (or maybe two layers) of varnish.
