The money tree made by own hands is an exquisite souvenir and a good gift for any holiday. Usually it is presented for a wedding or an anniversary. If you want to make a money tree for yourself, it can be useful to you to attract money to the house. We offer you a master class on how to make a tree of paper money with your own hands.
Make the base of the tree
- Prepare the materials you need to work: a flower pot, acrylic paints, a large wooden dowel, blocks of floristic foam, a polystyrene ball of medium size, decorative leaves or flowers, floral pins, glue, artificial or natural moss.
- Paint the flower pot in a color you like with a brush or sponge.
- A large block of foam is placed in the center of the pot, and distribute the small pieces on the sides.
- In the center, make a hole for the dowel, which will act as the trunk of a tree. Drip in there the right amount of glue (use pva or liquid nails).
- Pass the trunk through the cut mug and insert it into the hole.
We decorate the tree with bills
- While the glue dries, you can start making wood decor. It will be paper money. On such a tree a sufficiently large number of notes goes, so if you are counting on a certain amount of a gift, think through this question or take as small bills as possible.
- Each note folded with a small accordion on the short side, bend and twist around it a floral pin or ordinary wire. Denominations should not be pierced: they may someday decide to use them for their intended purpose.
- Insert a pin with a bill into the ball-base.
- Beautifully straighten the accordion.
- Now you have to make a lot of these accordions from the bills. Their number will depend on the size of the ball and the desired density of the crown.
- Begin to gradually poke pins with bills, trying to evenly fill the ball. For best effect, place the accordion in different directions.
- That's how the balloon looks like.
- Spaces between paper money can be filled with decorative leaves. To do this, cut the wire to the desired length and stick it into the ball. Fill all the free space so that the foliage completely covers the background.
- Decorate the tree from paper money with ribbons, congratulatory tags, etc.
No doubt, any birthday boy will be happy with such an unusual gift, as a tree made of money, made with love with his own hands! Another version of the money tree, but without the use of real bills, you can weave from the beads .
