If you’re looking for a fun and unique diy project, why not try making your own newspaper tubes box? It’s easy to do and you can customize it to fit your own personal style. Plus, it’s a great way to recycle those old newspapers that you might otherwise throw away.
Here’s what you’ll need:
-Old newspapers
-A sharp knife or scissors
-Glue or tape
-A pencil
-A ruler
-A piece of string or yarn (optional)
First, gather up all of your old newspapers. You’ll need about 10 sheets for a small box, or 20 for a larger one. Next, use your knife or scissors to cut the newspapers into strips. The width of the strips will determine the size of your finished box, so make them whatever size you like.
Once all of your strips are cut, it’s time to start assembling the box. Take two strips and glue or tape them together at one end. Then, fold the strip in half to form a tube. Repeat this step with all of the remaining strips until you have a stack of newspaper tubes.
Now it’s time to start assembling the box. Take four of the tubes and glue or tape them together at the top, forming a square. Then, take four more tubes and glue them perpendicular to the first four, forming a second layer. Continue adding layers until you reach the desired height of your box.
Once your box is the desired height, it’s time to add the lid. Take two more tubes and glue or tape them together at one end. Then, fold the strip in half to form a tube. Repeat this step with all of the remaining strips until you have a stack of newspaper tubes.
Now it’s time to start assembling the lid. Take four of the tubes and glue or tape them together at the top, forming a square. Then, take four more tubes and glue them perpendicular to the first four, forming a second layer. Continue adding layers until you reach the desired height of your box.
Once your lid is the desired height, it’s time to add the finishing touches. If you like, you can use a piece of string or yarn to create a handles for your box. Just tie the string around two of the tubes on either side of the box. You can also decorate the outside of the box with paint, markers, or whatever else you like.
And that’s it! Your diy newspaper tubes box is now complete. Fill it with whatever you like and enjoy.
