From the most ordinary materials found in every home, you can create many original things. For example, the simplest option would be a house made of paper tubes. The ideas for creating it are completely diverse and sometimes arise during work, so bringing something original to the craft will not be a problem.
What you need
To create a piece of jewelry, you may have to visit the stationery department of any store to improve the original idea. Besides, something may still be missing. So, for the craft you will need:
- several sheets of A4;
- a pack of multi-colored cardboard;
- glue stick;
- scissors;
- straight cocktail straws.
Procurement of “building materials”
To make a house out of paper tubes with your own hands, you will need parts. To create them, the existing sheets will need to be divided into several parts, drawing them with a pencil. The size of the elements is a matter of taste of the creator.
Then the blanks are cut and twisted. To make the process easier, you can use cocktail straws by wrapping paper around them. This will give the desired shape in advance, and all that remains is to glue the parts. To avoid damage to the elements, twisting should begin from the sides, otherwise the material will wrinkle.
The number of such blanks depends on the scale of the idea, so it’s worth making them as you work, rolling up 10 pieces in advance to get used to the upcoming construction.
DIY paper tube house
Like any building, a souvenir begins with a foundation. It should be made from thick cardboard, creating something like a box with low sides. To prevent the material from being conspicuous, the outer sides are covered with shorter tubes.
Then they begin to lay out the rows according to the same principle that was used in the construction of Russian huts. Because of this, some parts will have to be made more compact so that the elements fit tightly and there are no gaps between them. When there are five improvised logs on each side, you need to mark the location of the windows and doors. To make the house made of paper tubes look symmetrical, it is recommended to place all the holes at the same height.
Windows and roof
To mark openings in the walls, you will have to use short parts, the dimensions of which are calculated independently. Places of cuts can be masked with “frames” made of colored cardboard at the end of the work. At this stage, the use of material will allow you to show the “interior decoration”. To do this, cut out a square under the opening, make an applique on it and paste it into the window.
If a village house is made from paper tubes, then for further construction the length of the parts is also adjusted independently so that the front and back walls form a triangle.
The roof is cut out of cardboard. To prevent it from collapsing, it is worth constructing several support beams from the remains and fixing the roof on them. In fact, its shape can be any, so experiments are welcome, because the originality of the idea is the most important thing in a handmade product.
It is also advisable to make the doors of the building from glued tubes and place them in the opening. If possible, such a frame is covered on top with self-adhesive wallpaper with a wood pattern.
Decorations
After the craft (a house made of paper tubes) is essentially ready, you can move on to decorating and detailing it. If desired, the building can be supplemented with various elements: a porch, shutters, a fence, etc. If you have imagination and additional materials, the possibilities are practically unlimited.
By the way, the stairs to the door are made from the remaining tubes, covering them with various self-adhesive wallpapers. This gives the house a naturalistic and unique ambience. If time allows, you can do the same with the parts for laying the walls. Naturally, you should decorate them in advance. Actually, this material is used for absolutely any purpose.
If large-scale work is planned, all parts, including the building, are fixed on a single surface. For example, cutting plywood or wood. In general, any thing that is useless individually can become a decorative element that will make a house made of paper tubes more vibrant and original.
It turned out that the construction of such an object is exciting not only for the child (my three-year-old daughter glued the tubes with tape and connected them with a stapler), but also for the parents.
My grandmother gave us a whole stack of newspapers, and after a couple of hours the hut was ready.
1. Take a stack of 3 newspaper sheets. On one of their short sides, a second similar stack was laid with a slight overlap (photo 1). Twist all 6 sheets diagonally into a tube. At the end, its corner was fixed with tape.
2. We assembled the tubes into triangles, connecting the blanks at the corners with a stapler (photo 2).
3. The base of the hut consists of 8 triangles (walls) and 2 more were needed for the roof. First, we connected 4 triangular blanks into a base (with tape in the corners). To make the house denser, we glued 4 more triangles to its walls, securing them with tape at the corners (photo 3).
4. We attached 2 triangles (opposite each other) to the base of the hut on top and glued them together at the tops. Due to such a roof, the house is stable (photo 4).
Throw a blanket over the roof - the hut is ready.

A home made from newspaper tubes can be an excellent gift or decoration for your own kitchen. To create it, simple and affordable materials are used, and the weaving process is not difficult even for those who are just starting to do needlework. A master class on making a house from newspaper tubes will clearly demonstrate how to make an original souvenir.
Materials and tools
To work you will need:
- tubes cut and glued from newspapers;
- acrylic varnish, paint or stain, brushes for applying them;
- cardboard;
- ruler;
- stationery knife;
- pencil;
- glue gun;
- pin;
- scissors.
Before you start, you should look at photos of finished houses made from newspaper tubes to get ideas for decorating your craft.
Making the base
Step-by-step instructions with a description for beginners will help you figure out how to make a house correctly:
Draw a rectangle (for example, 8*9 cm) on a sheet of cardboard using a ruler. Cut out the workpiece.
Using a glue gun, attach to the base of the tube. They need to be glued 2 together, according to a certain pattern: at 4 points at equal distances from each other on each side of the rectangle and in the corners.
One of each pair of tubes must be bent upward, the remaining ones must be used to weave the bottom. It is performed using the rope technique. The elements glued to the bottom are the frame.
Take 2 pieces from the stack of remaining tubes and begin to braid the frame. Both of them should go in the same direction, but mirror each other: one passes through the first post from the outside, the other from the inside. The tubes go around the next column in reverse, the first goes from the inside, the second from the outside. Do this for 3 rows.
If the length of the tube is not enough, extend it - coat the tip of the one that ends, and put a new one on it. Continue weaving. After finishing the third row, hide the ends inward and secure them.
They move on to weaving the walls of the house. To make it more convenient to work, it is advisable to place a container of a suitable diameter (mug, bottle) on the base. They begin to weave in the same way as the bottom, but they go not wide, but upward. Perform several rows. After this, you need to mark the location of the future hole with a pencil.
Using a utility knife, carefully cut a hole. The cut area is glued with a tube, having first slightly flattened it.
Taking a clothespin, connect the ends of 3 tubes. Weave a regular braid. This braid is used to decorate the entrance to the house (using a glue gun, glue it around the perimeter of the entrance hole).
They continue weaving the walls of the house. When they reach the desired height, close the weaving of the sides, and hide the ends of the tubes in the frame. The wall on which the entrance hole is located and the wall opposite it must continue to be weaved, but gradually narrowing it.
First, several rows are made, increasing the tension of the tubes, then the racks are connected in pairs, and at the very end the remaining ones are woven into one. The result should be 2 triangles.
Creating a roof
After this they make the roof. Having understood how to make a house from newspaper tubes, and having studied photos of finished projects, you can choose the most suitable solution.
The simplest option is to make a rectangle using the same technique (“rope”), bend it in half and secure it with glue on the 2 triangular ends of the walls of the house.
Another way is to take a sheet of cardboard and cover it with any available material that imitates tiles, for example, wine cork cut into thin plates. You can cover a cardboard base with golden yellow-painted tubes to create a thatched roof.
Finishing of the finished product
When the house is completely ready, they move on to decorating it. You can cover the craft with stain, paint it in the desired color, decorate the roof with a ladder made from tubes, make flower pots - original house ideas and instructions for making them will help with this.
If you wish, you can make a window in the house: cut a hole in the right place, cover the cut with a pigtail, glue two tubes perpendicular to each other, which will act as a frame.
Making a beautiful house from newspaper tubes is quite simple, the main thing is to understand the principle of weaving.
