Council: if you have tubules from the newspaper, it is desirable that with a print to sort separately, white – separately, with letters – separately. It will be more convenient when coloring.
Try not to do a big corner between a strip and a spoke. Having a spoke at an acute angle, we as much as possible extend a tubule. Do not allow its shift during twisting and watch that rounds went in parallel each other. So preparation will turn out identical thickness on all length.
We want to give one more important advice. Try to twist tubules most densely and hardly. At the correct equipment rounds of paper settle down so densely that form a uniform cloth. Such raw materials will leave qualitative products and process of weaving will be easy and pleasant.
Part 80 ml of impregnation in 500 ml of water. This solution process a rod by means of a brush and slightly dry the hair dryer. Still put damp tubules in a package, having left the ends, and can start weaving at once.
Remember that damp tubules can become covered by a mold ‒ you should not store them more long than 3 days.
We advise to pay attention to such producers: Kondopoga, Syktyvkar and OfficeSpace. Paper of the last differs in slightly bigger density and a crystal whiteness.
Develop the experience and experiment thickness of preparations convenient to you. For now we recommend for average hand-made articles when using a spoke 1-1,5 mm to take newsprint 7-8 cm wide strips, and for massive products to increase width of strips to 10 cm.
When painting by colors surely use fixers of color (a varnish, enamel, a primer). since without it pipes can paint hands.
Having analysed all aforesaid, it is possible to allocate our favourites. With a big separation by amount of advantages newspapers and newspaper (it consumer) paper with a density of 45-48 gr/m ² are in the lead. We recommend to use these raw materials for preparation of a paper rod.
