Raffia is not so easy to find, so many are interested in how to make a skirt out of corrugated paper. It is sold in rolls that are reasonably priced. Be sure to buy paper in several colors.

And then the whole process is as follows:

Garbage bag skirt

And you can choose a generally budget option. We’ll talk about how to make a skirt out of garbage bags. When we throw them into the tank, we don’t even think about the fact that the package is a great option for an unusual outfit.

So, you need to get:

• Garbage bags;
• Scissors;
• Scotch tape
• Rubber band.

The step-by-step algorithm is very simple and even seamstress without experience:

1. We take garbage bags without handles, five pieces. You should choose the brightest colors.
2. The bags are folded together and the bottom part is cut off for everyone.

Important! It is necessary to ensure that the packages do not move during pruning.

3. We measure 15 cm on one side of the polyethylene pipe, mark with chalk. We make cuts along this length along the entire circumference of the packets. The result will be fringe, moreover, immediately on all packages.
4. The package, located on top, gently slides down five centimeters and secures with a narrow tape.
5. The procedure is repeated with all other packages. Moreover, the next step is shifting two packets, and then three at once.
6. After fixing all levels of packages with adhesive tape, the skirt is turned on the front part.
7. The linen elastic is cut along a length equal to the circumference of the waist, then its ends are sewn together.
8. The elastic is applied to the edge of the resulting skirt, wrapped a little in the film and fixed with tape.

The resulting skirt should be tried on and its length adjusted using scissors.

And you can do a little differently:

1. The roll of packages is cut into strips 3-4 cm wide. All of them are tied together and wound into one ball.
2. With a crochet hook, a chain is knitted around the waist.
3. Further, approximately 4-5 cm is knitted in a single column.
4. In each row, loops are added, three in each. The canvas fits tightly over 10 cm. You can use double columns or another pattern that you like.
5. The skirt is knitted in a circle with the addition of a loop until the required length is reached.

Important! This option is also suitable for knitting handbags, vases and much more.

And you can go one more way:

1. We lower the tube for cocktails into the package, fix it tightly with the help of office gum.
2. The bag is inflated through the tube, then it is pulled out. The result will be a kind of inflated ball. They need about two dozen, the size should be different.
3. The lower skirt is sewn from any fabric. Most importantly, its color should be combined with packages.
4. Balls are attached using threads, pins or a stapler. Balls of small size should be on top, large ones - from below.

Make lei

To do this, we need colored corrugated paper in a tube, a needle, thread, scissors, a pencil and a ruler. Lei can be one-color, and possibly alternating different colors:

1. The paper is cut into strips whose width is 5-7 cm. The paper does not turn around.

Important! Do not worry because of small errors of several millimeters, as a result, they will not be noticeable.

2. A large thread is measured, the length of which should be slightly more than lei, a large knot is tied at the end.
3. The first strip is sewn with small stitches. When the needle is filled with folds, you need to stretch the paper along the thread to a knot and twist it in a spiral.
4. Next, the procedure is repeated with all strips of paper.

One roll is enough to make one lei.

Important! Leave some loose thread. She will not be noticeable, but wearing beads will be much more convenient.
