Basket weaving - three best options MK

Paper art has always amazed me! Baskets, chests, boxes, vases woven from ordinary newspaper attracted my attention - they fascinated me with their beauty! Thanks to a Chinese named Cai Lun, who invented paper, we now have wicker baskets for every taste and color. Twisted newspaper tubes turned out to be an excellent material for weaving. The flexibility of the tubes does not limit the flight of imagination; it allows you to weave both simple and complex basket models.
I bring to your attention, well, very!))) Very cute baskets!

For any holiday. Using this technique, you can make an original hair clip, boutonniere, or a small bouquet as a souvenir. In order to build such a mini-bouquet, you will need:

Multi-colored nylon;
- wire 26”;
- barbecue skewer;
- spool of thread;
- template for making flowers from nylon No. 3;
- a piece of napkin;
- tape;
- scissors.

Manufacturing:
1. First you need to make the bases for the petals. To do this, you need to wrap the wire around the template and secure it by twisting it. Cut off the excess with scissors or small special pliers. We will need 6 pieces of such blanks.

2. Next, you should wrap each workpiece in nylon, secure it with thread, wrapping it several times around the wire. For greater strength, you can make a couple of loops. It is best to use special nylon threads - they hold better, but if you don’t have any on hand, then regular ones will do. You don’t need to wind a lot, 4-5 turns are enough. Carefully cut off the remaining nylon (here it is better to use sharp nail scissors). The petal is ready.

3. To make the center of the flower, you can use a piece of any napkin or cotton wool. In this embodiment, the core is proposed to be made from a piece of damp (pre-dried) napkin. Roll a piece of the required size into a ball, wrap it in yellow nylon (or orange) in the same way as the petals, and secure with thread. It is best to repeat this manipulation 2-3 times to brighten the middle. Also trim off excess nylon.

4. Now you should connect the core of the flower with a kebab skewer. To do this, you need to place the center to the edge of the skewer and secure it with thread. To prevent the center from moving anywhere, already at this stage you can use a piece of tape, which helps to better hold the entire structure together thanks to its adhesive properties.

5. Let's start attaching the petals. They, like the core, are wound to the skewer by their base. In order for the flower to turn out lush, they need to be attached slightly overlapping, slightly overlapping each other. You should try to attach them on the same line, because otherwise the threads will be unattractively ironed out from under the petals. To make it more convenient to attach the petals, they should be stretched out a little.

6. The flower is almost ready, all that remains is to form its base. Tape tape is used again - those places where the petals were connected to the skewer need to be decorated with it. This will be the sepal from which the flower originates. Next, we continue to wrap the skewer with tape until the end, or to the required length (the rest of the skewer can be cut off).

Cleaning and polishing furniture with tights

Using tights, you can collect small objects, such as beads, from the floor. To do this, you need to pull the tights over the suction hole and vacuum the place where the loss is supposed to be located. At the same time, all the dust will be sucked in, and small things will linger on the fabric. All ladies are familiar with the situation when an earring that has fallen on the floor rolls behind a chair or under the bed. Vacuum the area where the earring is supposed to be. All the dust will be drawn into the vacuum cleaner, and the earring will simply be attracted, but will not get inside.

For owners of vacuum cleaners with reusable filters. We cut off the upper (thigh) part of the stocking, tie the wide end with a knot or grab it with a strong elastic band, put the resulting chalk on the pipe inside the dust collector, and secure it there with a rubber ring. That's it!..When the bag is full, throw it away with the trash.

This way, you will end up with a “can” within a can, into which the paint will bleed through, but all the lumps and debris will not get through. By the way, by tightly pulling the nylon onto the jar and securing it, you can shake out any bulk product from it, while simultaneously sifting it. You can strain liquids in the same way.

Particular care must be taken to ensure that the nylon melt does not get on your hands!

You can make nylon handles for working tools. Melt the nylon trimmings in a clean tin over low heat. While they are standing on the fire, they prepare a simple mold for casting - a cardboard and thin aluminum tube. Round handle It’s not very convenient to use, so the tube should be slightly flattened on both sides. One end of the finished mold is plugged with any stopper, and the finished melt is poured into the other. Immediately insert the handle of the tool and wait for it to set. To make the product beautiful, you can sprinkle a pinch of paint - bronze or silver - into the melting nylon.

But it doesn’t matter, you just didn’t know the folk tricks that help needlewomen create smooth, light and practical rugs from old nylon. There are a lot of manufacturing options - this is round rug from braided braids, like my grandmother knitted, and openwork, crochet a rug, a nylon round piece, assembled into a neat, flat spiral. We will introduce you to these and some other ideas for making rugs from tights and reveal little secrets that will help you make a neat and even fabric.

To prevent a hand-made carpet of tights and socks from serving as an object of ridicule from loved ones, adopt a few useful life hacks. Thanks to them you will really do beautiful thing and don't waste your time. Here is a selection of the most common questions from beginners who have taken up the production of nylon rugs:

• How many tights do you need for a small rug? At least 10. Once you have a pair of stockings with a hole, set them aside, then cut them and roll them into balls.
• How to cut nylon? We cut off the top and bottom, and then cut the fabric in a spiral, so you get a thin, even thread.
• What to do if you don’t have enough tights and the rug is not finished yet? We tie it with knitted ribbon or trim.
• How to make even rugs? Make yarn from non-elastic tights, or knit more airily without tightening the thread.
• How to dye tights? Paint nylon in flesh tones bright colors possible at home. First, boil the material with chlorine bleach, rinse and dry. Then dye with a special fabric dye according to the instructions on the package.

Using these tips, you can make a nylon rug that will decorate your home. By combining colors and shades, adding threads of various thicknesses and from other materials, you will make an original thing.

Rug made of thread and nylon

This master class round rug is good because it is made very quickly and looks unusual, thanks to the braiding of thick threads. A rug with a diameter of 54 cm requires only 4 pairs of tights:

1. Cut off the gusset and panties, leaving the sock.
2. Crochet the bottom of the stocking.
3. We close it in a tight ring.
4. We knit the second row by clasping the thread of the first and braiding the nylon.
5. We knit the fabric in a circle, adding threads of different colors.
6. Having knitted the round piece, we hide the working tip from the wrong side and carefully hem it.

You can use jute twine natural colors or thin knitting yarn from old T-shirts.

Important! As you knit, don’t forget to add stitches, otherwise you won’t end up with a carpet, but a basket. To do this, knit 2 loops from 1 previous row. If the fabric is bristling, knit 2 stitches from every second loop.

Crochet nylon rug

The next option on how to make a rug from tights is crocheted with 6 mm:

1. We cut off the top and trace. Cut the remaining fabric lengthwise into strips 2 cm wide.
2. We stretch the ribbons and knit them together.
3. We knit a chain of 5 air loops.
4. We connect the edges with a column, knit double crochets from the first row.
5. We continue to knit in the round, adding stitches.

As a result, you will get a neat, even rug that will last for many years. You can make an oval rug rather than a round one. To do this, increase the length of the chain and make additions not only as you knit, but also at the edges of the first row. To avoid getting confused in additions, use pins and special markers.

Important! To make an original rug as a knitting pattern, use the patterns openwork napkins and tablecloths. Consider the thickness of the yarn - you won’t be able to knit a lace pattern with a thick thread.

Braid rugs

Do-it-yourself round and even rectangular rugs from tights without a hook are woven from individual braids, which are then sewn together. Here's how it happens:

1. Let's prepare yarn from cut tights.
2. We braid it into a long braid, securing the end with a needle by hand.
3. We will prepare a fabric lining that will retain the shape of the rug even after frequent washing.
4. To make the middle even, we tuck the fabric into the hoop and sew a pigtail to it, securing it in the middle.
5. Gradually increase the radius of the rug and remove the hoop.
6. Having sewn the rug to the desired size, cut the lining and sew on a bias binding made of knitted tape.

Straight rugs in this technique are made from braids laid in a zigzag. They are also sewn to the base and overcast. You can get an interesting wavy edge by laying the chain in spirals, twisting them in different directions. These wavy rugs look good in the bathroom.

Important! By combining voluminous and thin braids, you can create an interesting avant-garde pattern.

Rug made of rings (video)

If in previous methods you had to work with thread tied in knots, here you need to work with nylon cut into rings. The rug will come out light, fluffy, and the manufacturing method is similar to children's play - weaving from rubber bands:

1. Fold the ring twice. We put it on, twisting it in a figure eight, on the thumb and index finger.
2. We wind another loop in a similar way, remove the first loop from thumb. We throw it onto the top. Then we also transfer the lower loop from the index finger to the upper one.
3. The result was a neat chain. Continue knitting on your fingers, making a long braid.
4. Sew the braids into the fabric of the desired shape, and you're done!

Important! This method is also good because it does not require close attention - knit a snake while watching TV series, the process is completely automatic.
