How do you make a hammock for a kid out of newspaper?

Answer 1

Newspaper Hammock - Instead of recycling old newspapers, why not turn them into a hammock? Here's how. Materials:LOTS of newspaper, Tape, An old bed sheet, Rope or strong clothesline cord, Scissors Got this from a scouting site...DIRECTIONS: Make a stack of 30 sheets of newspaper. Roll up the stack the long way to form a tight, narrow tube. Tape the tube closed. Repeat step 1 until you have about 20 tubes. Cut three lengths of rope or clothesline, each at least 12 feet long. Lay the ropes parallel to one another. Now tie each tube, one by one, to the ropes. Tie over and under knots, leaving 2" to 3" between each tube (A). Remember to leave at least 3 feet at the end of each rope so you can hang up the hammock. When the hammock is long enough for you to lie in, tie the ropes together at each end (B). Hang your hammock between two trees in your back yard, or ask your mom or dad to help you hang it from your patio roof. Throw an old bed sheet over the hammock so you won't get newsprint on your clothes. One step further: Try making a hammock out of brown shopping bags. Cut the bottom off each, then cut along a side seam and spread open the bag. Stack several bags, then roll them up.

Answer 2

To make a hammock for a kid out of newspaper, you can create a basic weave pattern by overlapping and interlocking strips of newspaper. Start by creating a sturdy base with wider strips, then weave thinner strips through to form the hammock surface. Secure the ends with tape or glue for added stability. Keep in mind the weight and size of the child when designing the hammock.
