Illustration	Action Description
	First, you have to remember your drawing skills: using simple measurements of a tea bag, you need to create a paper template at home. You will need two sides, one back, one front with a semicircular slot and a window.
	We outline each part on cardboard and cut out the details.
	We make a neat window with a cutter.
	We apply each cardboard piece to the seamy side of the scrap paper, but make an allowance of 1 cm. Cut the edges with scissors and bend each allowance towards the piece.
	This is how we paste over every detail from the inside. The most difficult thing is with the window, but if you work carefully with the cutter, then everything will work out.
	We glue all the parts together with aerosol glue.
	For strength, you will need to glue the parts together with additional strips. We cut 4 strips, bend them and glue all the folds from the inside.
	Glue the outside with strips of paper of the same color from which the external finish will be made.
	We glue the house outside with paper, you can again use the paper template in order for everything to fit perfectly.
	Cut out 6 identical fences and glue the seamy sides together - we need three sides.
	We glue the house to the base and build a fence around the site.
	For the roof, we take two pieces of cardboard so that the edges protrude slightly beyond the "building". We glue the pieces together so that the desired slope is formed. The roof is pasted over with decorative paper.
	We will cut two narrow strips from cardboard, glue them with scrapbooking paper.
	With these strips, we make the roof fit snugly on the box.
	The house is decorated outside in any convenient way, making it unique.

Master class: a quiet evening weaving a tea house from newspaper tubes

Everyone can master weaving, but the most important resource will be not only time, but also patience: you have to create the material yourself, and twisting all the tubes can eventually take a whole evening. The main thing is to understand the principle of twisting, and then you can work with your favorite TV series, without delving too much into the process of preparing the material.

Material preparation

We will wind a sufficient number of tubes, namely, “many”, and paint them in any color with color scheme, gouache, toner, stain - to your taste. To make one tube, you need to take a thin long knitting needle and wind a newspaper strip (about 5 × 30 cm) around it at an angle of 45 °. The tip of the strip is glued with PVA glue.

In addition to a mountain of tubes, you will need a dense base with holes made in it around the perimeter for inserting the tubes. The base is immediately made beautiful, since it no longer needs to be changed.

An important point: 12-16 tubes should be used a little damp, almost immediately after coloring and light drying.

Manufacturing instruction

Let's move on to weaving.

Illustration	Action Description
	Insert the tip of one of the damp tubes into the extreme hole.
	We bend the inserted tube in half and insert its second end into the adjacent slot. Both tips should go all the way. Then we continue to do the same manipulations around the perimeter.
	Glue 2 brown tubes from one corner, passing one of the green ones between them, and add a third brown tube to them. We start weaving in one direction.
	This is called weaving a string into three tubes: two are intertwined around the green one, one always follows them on the outside. The last tube changes with the first places each time.
	On the second row, continue weaving with a string and attach 2 green tubes. Brown ones are either brought to the end or cut off from the corner. This weaving in two tubes continues until the middle.Then weave only one side with one tube, squeezing the edges a little and returning "in their tracks".
	Weaving in one tube continues the top, forming a "petal". On the opposite side, we do the same. We get the sides for the roof.
	Measure the length of the side of the roof with a ruler. We transfer the length to paper, make markings with the same step of about 1-1.5 cm in width, put the sticks on these strips and fix them on one edge with masking tape. We stick another stick perpendicularly and start weaving.
	We finish and bend the roof. We make a round window from a tube twisted into a ring, from tubes folded in two rows we make an entrance door, also braiding them into one tube.
