These products strike with variety of models which can be bought or made by own hands. An excellent solution would be a breadbasket made from newspaper tubes. This product is environmentally safe and perfectly fit into any kitchen interior.

A bread box is a small closed container with a lid for storing bread and other baked goods. Many housewives are convinced that thanks to this product bread will save its freshness, amazing taste and aroma. Besides bread box is an original element of the kitchen decor. Its presence makes the room more comfortable and colorful.

These products can be made of stainless steel, plastic, wood and ceramics. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages.

1. "Stainless steel." The strong product differs in durability and fit into any interior. Metal retains heat well, so freshly baked bread will retain its freshness and flavor for a long time. However, a stainless steel bread box is a rather expensive item.
2. Tree. Natural materials are ideal for storing bread. In addition, some tree species have antimicrobial properties. However, wicker bread bins require careful maintenance. Over time, they begin to rot and mold. It is best to purchase a product from neutral wood (birch, ash, linden). Such bread bins do not exude an unpleasant smell and are durable enough.
3. Plastic. Breadbaskets made of this material are distinguished by affordable price and convenient operation. They may have different colors. Including there are transparent plastic bread boxes.
4. Ceramics. Products look very impressive and elegant. Ceramic bread boxes perfectly absorb unpleasant odors, and bakery products retain their freshness and flavor for a long time. Also this material interferes with reproduction of microorganisms. However, ceramics are easy to break, and buying a new one is quite expensive.

Naturally, ready-made bread bins can be easily bought in stores or ordered online. However, no less luxurious "storage" for bread will turn out from unnecessary newspapers. The main thing is to purchase all the necessary materials and follow the presented instructions step by step.

For the manufacture of such a masterpiece will need patience and some free time. Create bread from paper tubes can both beginners and experienced masters.

So, to make a round breadbasket with your own hands, you will need:

• cardboard;
• news sheets;
• PVA glue;
• scissors and stationery knife;
• awl;
• clothespins;
• acrylic paints and varnish.

Before proceeding directly to the weaving, you need to make the tubes out of the newspaper. To do this, take a newspaper sheet, fold it along and cut it into oblong stripes. Next, take a needle and wind it with a newspaper strip. Edges of the duct fix with glue. Knitting needles carefully remove. Dyeing tubes preferably before weaving. Acrylic paints are perfect for this purpose.

We start weaving bread box with a lid. Take the cardboard and cut out the template in the form of an oval (10 cm).Fix the workpiece with glue. We prepare tubes from newspapers (width of 6-7 mm). Place them on the workpiece perpendicular to the main tube, which is located in the center (along the entire length).

In the final stage, we make a bend. Give the edges of the tubes round shape and remove them with the help of a thin knitting needle inside the workpiece.

When the lid is ready, proceed to the creation of a loaf plate. Its size fits under the cover. Cut a circular shape out of cardboard, apply a central tube to it and start weaving by analogy with a lid. All edges of the plates are processed in the same hem as on the lid. Finished bread box covered with acrylic varnish and give dry. At will the cover of the product can be decorated with bright napkins, miniature stones and original drawings.
