So, to make this original decorative thing you will need the following materials:
- pasta;
- thermo-gun;
- old newspapers;
- Painting tape;
- stick (you can skewers or Chinese sticks);
- aerosol paint.
And now let's move on to how to make a topiary step by step:
- First you need to make a tree crown. For this, the old newspapers are crumpled into a ball with a diameter of 4-5 cm, and wrap it with threads.
On top of pasting paint tape. Do not forget to make a hole in the ball, which will get through the "trunk" - a stick. We put the paint on the crown in such a way that there are no gaps left and leave to dry for a while. - Now let's take care of the most important moment - gluing pasta. Starting from the top, in a circle using a thermo-pistol attach the pasta to the top of the crown. Then turn it over, put it on a cloth and glue it upside down. We put a stick in the crown, put the product in a bottle, and then spray it gently with paint and again dry it.
- Then you should pay attention to how to make a pot for topiary. To do this, you can choose a small flowerpot, flower pot or any other container. Preparing the basis for topiary - plaster - pour it into the pot, wait, when a little hardens and insert the construction there, that is, the crown with the trunk. The product should dry for three to five days.
- At the end of the necessary time, one can do the most fascinating - decorating the "tree of happiness". To the trunk you can add a few more thin twigs and cover them with acrylic lacquer. The top of the gypsum can be decorated with colored sisal - a natural coarse fiber, which is used in decor. A special charm of the handicraft will add flirty butterflies, which can be attached to the trunk of a tree and to its crown.
