Beautiful Hands Are Working Hands in Basket Weaving

Good day steemians may this day be more fruitful than ever was! Today I've decided to do a showcase of students works with the theme: Beautiful Hands are Working Hands. This is my first showcase of students creativity through the used of recycled materials.

Prepare the following materials:
Used newspapers or used papers
Stick of a broom
Glue
Double-sided tape
Poster paint
Clipper
Used cardboard
Brush
Scissors
Knife

Procedure:
STEP 1: MAKING THE NEWSPAPER TUBES FOR WEAVING

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:

You need to cut long strips of newspaper to about 10cm wide. Fold the newspaper horizontally in half and then half again, and use a sharp knife to cut into sections. Place the stick on a corner of the newspaper at an acute angle. This will give you a long tube.
Tuck under the corner edge and then roll with your fingers. There are various methods of rolling the paper tubes, and after a couple of paper tubes you will work out which one works best for you. Start off rolling with fingers and then carefully lift the tube, holding the end of the skewer in right hand and rolling the paper around with left.
When you reach the end, smear on a small amount of glue to secure in place. Hold the paper firmly and dries quickly.
You will notice once you have made a few tubes that one end is ever so slightly narrower than the other. Don't worry about this.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT:

For the base of of the basket cut two rectangular or curcular pieces of cardboard. These can be any size depending on how small or large you want the basket to be.
Press down and secure the paper tubes in position. There are 13 tubes on the long side and 7 tubes on the short side.
Use double-sided tape to cover the top of the remaining piece of cardboard. Place a heavy book on top and leave to dry for an hour.

STEP 3: FINISHED BASE

STEP 4: START WEAVING THE BASKET AND CLOSE ALL THE EDGES.

STEP: PUT ADDITIONAL DESIGNS AND COLORS.
