To decorate the interior with a tree of flowers today has become quite fashionable. Craftsmen make a variety of intricate flowers from tapes for topiary in different techniques and use for this purpose any textures. The most popular is the topiary of satin ribbons.

How to make a topiary from tapes?

We offer to make a similar decor for the room yourself. To make a topiary from tapes with your own hands, you will need the following materials:

• tape from satin and organza, rayon and mesh;
• scissors, glue (Moment "crystal" and "Super-Moment Gel"), thread with a needle;
• pot and gypsum, stick for the trunk, paint.

Now consider step-by-step instructions on how to make a topiary from tapes.

1. We crush the newsprint and form a ball.
2. We wind it with threads.
3. We remove the bark from the wand, but do not rush it.
4. We make a hole in the ball (with a knife) to the diameter of the barrel.
5. Fill the glue with the "Moment crystal".
6. We insert the barrel and wait for complete drying.
7. The workpiece is well lubricated with a layer of PVA.
8. We rewind the threads to give a more spherical shape to the workpiece.
9. We fill the plaster in the pot and insert the future tree there. We'll have to hold it a little while the gypsum does not grasp.
10. We paint the wood with paint (in this case a bronze shade). We apply two layers, after letting completely dry the first one. Be sure to apply the paint and the plaster base, in order to later zadekorirovat.
11. The trunk can be covered with glitter glitter with sparkles.
12. To decorate our topiary, we make of ribbons of roses. From artificial silk, mesh we cut out circles of different diameters. Instead of cutting off silk, wide ribbons will fit. For a ball with a diameter of about 10 cm, you need about 17 colors with a circle of 6 cm.
13. Each piece is carefully processed over the candles: try not to let the edges darken.
14. Now it only remains to collect the roses. For this, we simply stack the workpieces one on top of the other.
15. We fix everything with a thread. In the center we sew beads or beads.
16. Flowers for the topiary are ready.
17. From a thin ribbon from organza we will make bows. We will use them to fill the spaces between the roses.
18. We wind the tape twice on the index and middle fingers. You can make more turns, then the bow is more fluffy.
19. The last coil is filled between the fingers.
20. We encircle the wound ribbons in the middle and do the loop.
21. We tighten the knot and scorch the edges.
22. We make the same number of these bows of light and dark shades.
23. Now let's make jewelry from a thin satin ribbon.
24. This is the simplest bow, but with rather long tips.
25. The last stage of making the topiary came from the tapes: the assembly of the crown. At the top with glue "Super-Moment Gel" we fix the first rose.
26. The second flower is fastened near the base as tightly as possible to the trunk.
27. Then glue two more flowers between them.
28. Do the same on the opposite side.
29. It will be something like a ring around our ball.
30. Perpendicularly attach another such "ring".
31. We close the vacant places with the remaining roses.
32. Around the upper flower glue light bows of organza.
33. From below we attach dark ones.
34. Above them we have light bows of silk.
35. Now we decorate the trunk with an organza tape. We make in a familiar way a ribbon from the ribbon, this time you can make more turns. We fix the decoration with glue on the barrel.
36. 3We apply a layer of glue on the base and attach the remaining bark, you can add beads or other decorative elements.
37. The topiary of satin ribbons is ready!
