Cardboard Tubes – Tubos de Cartão
Are there corrugated cardboard tubes? Probably not, at least I’ve never seen any.
Existem tubos de cartão canelado? Provavelmente não, pelo menos nunca vi nenhum.
The images depict my ‘collection’ of cardboard tubes, with different dimensions and thicknesses.
As this is the third post of the sequence envisage what you already have in a new way (following Umbrella Fabrics and Natural Feathers), I wonder: What to do with them? What can cardboard tubes be up-cycled into?
As imagens mostram a minha ‘colecção’ de tubos de cartão, com diferentes dimensões e espessuras.
Como este é o terceiro artigo da sequência encarar o que já se tem de uma nova maneira (depois de Tecidos de Guarda-Chuva e Penas Naturais), pergunto-me: O que fazer deles? Como é que se podem enciclar tubos de cartão?
So far, I’ve made a Hanger, a Jewellery Holder, a Christmas Tree and a Nativity (click on thumbnails bellow to see the posts). At first, I only used a tube at a time, but came later to try joining two of them, one inside the other, and kind of liked the result!
Até agora, fiz um Cabide, um Suporte para Bijutaria, uma Árvore de Natal e um Presépio (clicar nas miniaturas abaixo para ver os artigos). Ao princípio, só usava um tubo de cada vez, mas a certa altura experimentei juntar dois, um dentro do outro, e até gostei do resultado!

That is a very cool! I love those tubes! I would use them in my studio!
But I really like what you did with them. Especially the jewellery hanger…Im always dealing with messy necklaces! Good idea!
Well I’ll gladly send you some, if you wish!
The smaller ones are from plastic bags’ rolls, I pick them at supermarkets; others are from a fabrics store in my neighbourhood; the bigger and taller ones, I don’t know what they are from, I’ve picked them next to a recycling container… And I know that there are really big ones (about 20 cm in diameter), it would be great to work with those but I just can’t find them…
