Previously, bread woven from a tree with lids, boxes for cookies, sweets were very popular. For qualitative weaving of such things, certain skills are required.

Weaving from newspapers

To begin with, you need a base - a strong box, a corrugated box, the right size. Further from the newspapers are twisted long thin tubes that are attached to the bottom of the box at the same distance from each other. These tubes become stakes - they should be made thicker, denser than others. Racks are attached to the box with clothespins to make it smooth. Then they are wrapped in thin tubes, by any means of weaving, to the very top. The tops of the tubes of the base are neatly hidden, the edges of the box are greased with glue, the newspaper layer is pressed to the base with clothespins. Similarly, the lid is made, the entire structure is covered with paint and varnish on top. The inside is trimmed with a cloth or paper.
