How to make frame from newspaper tubes

For a picture frame 10×15 prepare:

Newspaper;
Glue;
Spokes;
Paints;
brush;
Cardboard;
Sheet of white paper;
Scissors.

Preparation Material

Newspaper – basic material of our framework. From it, we need to twist the tubes of different sizes. Cut the paper into strips. About the size of 10h30, we need 18 strips. About the size of 30×40 cm will need 8 pieces. Ducts are doing with the help of needles, since a newspaper strip corner, turn off the tube, at the end of the fastening adhesive. It happened 18 small and 8 large tubes.

The small tube is squeezed, so to get the strips.

Then, the strip is screwed onto the pen (finger, as you conveniently). Gradually weakens until a circle of about 4 centimeters in diameter, held together by glue. It turned out 18 circles.

From cardboard and white paper cut rectangles the size of 15×20.
Glue paper to cardboard.

Take 4 large rolls, cut 2 pieces of 20 cm. And 2 pieces of 15 cm. The ends of the tubes are cut at an angle of 45 degrees. These pieces are cardboard framing.

All circles and tubes crumble. Paint can be any, but it is better acrylic.

Fastening parts

along the perimeter of the cut cardboard glue tube. We are waiting for drying.

On the big side of the board 5 glue dots, the smaller – 4. We are waiting for drying.

The remaining tubes will surround the circles, so it is necessary to measure the perimeter and cut the desired length. Cut at an angle of 45 degrees. Merge on the perimeter.
After drying, the adhesive cover the frame with acrylic lacquer.
