Do it yourself a money tree. An original gift with your own hands: money topiary. Painting money tree - a souvenir with meaning

You can attract wealth and well-being into your life not only with the help and rituals. In everyday life, we are surrounded by seemingly ordinary things and objects that activate monetary energy and help to get rich. For example, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, an ordinary indoor fat woman - a money tree - provides invaluable help in this.

This modest plant, like a magnet, attracts wealth to the house. In addition to the bastard, there are other indoor flowers that can attract cash flows, such as cyclamen and arrowroot. They are united by common features, namely, rounded leaves that resemble coins - a symbol of prosperity and prosperity.

According to Feng Shui, an artificial analogue can also become a powerful activator of financial well-being. For this reason, you can also choose a decorative money tree made of coins, stones, beads or other materials.

Which Feng Shui money tree is better?

When choosing a money talisman for your home, you should remember that a real tree is more effective than an artificial one. A person who once again does not want to worry or waste time caring for a flower is more suitable for a symbolic tree figurine. Such a talisman will not wither and die.

A real living money tree can wither away from improper care and shed its leaves. This sign indicates upcoming large spending and a possible period of lack of money. Therefore, it is very important that the fat woman feels good. The best option is to acquire trees of both types - a houseplant and an artificial analogue.

You can make an artificial money tree with your own hands or purchase it in a store or market. At the same time, it should be remembered that they cannot be kept in the same room - you should carry money talismans to different rooms. You also need to keep in mind that a money tree made from coins, made by yourself, has a stronger energy.

Sometimes the talisman is made in the form of a money tree from large denomination notes. Such a product can be presented to a hero of the day or a close relative for his birthday. The gift symbolizes prosperity and success. Below you can familiarize yourself with a master class on making a decorative money tree from coins, various materials and banknotes.

A well-groomed fat woman is a guarantee of monetary well-being

An artificial tree with pebbles instead of leaves or a beaded money tree can be purchased at a Feng Shui store. It perfectly attracts wealth and does not deteriorate from time to time. You just need to make sure that it is correctly located. But for a living indoor tree, special care is needed. Its leaves should not be covered with dust, turn yellow and fall off. Otherwise, the preconditions for ruin will be created. This plant should not dry out, so as not to provoke huge waste of its owner.

At the bottom of the pot where the tree of wealth grows, there should be five coins of the state in which you currently live. This will ensure the constant growth of your material well-being. You will have promising acquaintances, favorable circumstances and new sources of income. At Christmas, the coins must be removed and rinsed under running water. This is done to update the energy of the talisman and.

Where is the best place to put the money tree?

Money Tree from coins, just like a plant, is endowed with a special meaning, and therefore it needs a special place. According to Feng Shui, the tree of luck should be located in the southeastern sector of the house, that is, in the zone of wealth. An excellent place for this mascot is the hallway - in this room, the path to cash flows will be best open. To enhance the effect, place a large banknote.

You can make such a monetary souvenir as a gift to a friend, family, or bosses. In a word, money topiary can be useful in more than one situation. If you want, put it in your workplace as a symbol of financial well-being. In the photo gallery, you can find enough examples of such money trees that are easy to make with your own hands.

Of course, such an art object does not imply the use of real banknotes, unless you decide to use coins. Fake bills are purchased at a gift shop, and can often be found in the children's playroom. It is up to you to decide which bills to use, but the currency with three zeros looks more solid, of course.

And also the money topiary is:

  • Alternative to converter, in which it is customary to bring a monetary present. In such a topiary, a couple of real bills can be wedged in, hint about this opaquely to the hero of the occasion.
  • Tree of happiness- if someone just lacks finances for this happiness. Try to bring them to life in such a creative way.
  • Interior decoration... Well, if you are aiming at a career and climbing its ladder, such a decor will only be appropriate.

And to create such a topiary with your own hands, use the next item - MK (master class).

Topiary money tree: master class

In fact, this is a master class about how to make money flowers in a simple design, that is, in a pot. By the way, such an MK will be useful to the groom, who is awaiting a ransom. When you run out of real money, you can always buy off a sly tree. At the same time, the groom will show his ingenuity.

The master class involves the use of the following material:

  • Paper bills (fake) - 33-36 pieces;
  • Blank for the crown (or ready-made foam, or in the form of a newspaper wad, intertwined with threads);
  • Hot glue gun;
  • Copper wire;
  • Floristic tape;
  • Pot;
  • Gypsum;
  • Decorative items.

The master class begins with the manufacture of a round base. It's good if you already have foam blanks, if not, any round object of sufficient density will do. At worst, act in the old-fashioned way - make a wad of newspapers, crumple them well to make a round detail. Stretch the wad with the threads until the shape is completely round.

For how else you can make the basis for the topiary - look at the video.

The resulting lump needs to be made green, monochromatic. For this, green corrugated paper is suitable.

  • You need to create flowers from banknotes. There can be many options, some use the origami technique, some go their own way. Flowers of seven petals, glued together in the middle, look the most aesthetically pleasing. The bill is folded from the corners and in the middle on both sides, the petals tend to the center. Look at the photo, which option is more interesting for you, such a flower will turn out.

Having chosen a suitable flower option for yourself, you need to make a sufficient number of them. As a rule, if you completely decorate a medium-sized crown with flowers from banknotes, you will need at least five dozen of them.

  • Hot glue is needed to fix the flowers. Make a temporary stem before gluing. Stick any object that resembles it into the workpiece, just do not deform it. Glue the first flower by the tail with hot glue at the very base of the stem (temporary).
  • This flower, and hold the rest for a few seconds so that the glue hardens. Work is not in a hurry.
  • Glue the second and subsequent flowers not chaotically, but according to the logic of movements - first around the stem, and then go upstairs, row by row. There should be no free space between flowers, look at the photo - all trees have a uniform, dense crown without so-called gaps.
  • To make a stem, this master class suggests taking copper wire... It is easy to give it the desired bend, fold in several layers, etc. If you go the simple way, then you can simply decorate the wire with a floral tape. Actually, and it will be good. Do not forget to get out the temporary stem, pour hot glue into the hole formed, put the decorated wire there, hold it until the stem hardens well.
  • Now the tree needs to be planted in a pot; gypsum is required to fix it in the container. From plaster to the edge of the pot, you need to leave literally two centimeters. Do not level the top layer too much, it will not be visible anyway. The gypsum must be allowed to harden, and the moisture, of course, must be evaporated.
  • The top layer is decorated with greenery - some craftsmen have adapted a washcloth for this business. Yes, a regular round green washcloth will do the trick. But other decorative materials, straws, threads, pile can also become green.
  • Decorate the stalk with your own hands too. Or you can tie a bow from the emerald ribbon of aspidistra.
  • Beads, buttons, decorative braid - all this is also used, if desired, of course. On the pot itself, you can write a wish with acrylic paints.

This master class offers to build just such a tree, a fairly simple option.

Money trees: topiary, decoration

Money topiary quite itself assumes creative improvisation. In the process of work, you can deviate from the MK, replace something with your own hands, improve something.

Topiary design options:

  • The ball base can be made of polyurethane foam;
  • Leaves from banknotes can be formed according to the principle of an ordinary bag - this is exactly what is done in numerous photos of topiary;
  • Felt leaves can also complement the crown, you get a tree from banknotes and textile inclusions;
  • At the foot of the stalk, you can decorate the top layer of the pot with sesal - in many MKs this material is used for decoration;
  • The tree may have another trunk - you can also make it with your own hands from skewers, sushi sticks, a plastic stick from a flower salon;
  • And the pot can also be different - for example, an inexpensive beautiful planter, a coffee cup, a plastic cup, a small beautiful box.

And you can also fold a banknote with your own hands, roll it into a tube, into an airplane, tie a double tube with decorative thread. You can get inspired by examples in the photo gallery.

The imagination and ingenuity of the craftswoman help to create this piece of furniture with soul and a certain symbolism. The very process of creating a topiary from coins with your own hands is accompanied by painstaking work and ends with pride in your creation. It is not for nothing that topiary beckons the eyes, and only because of this they are relevant at all times, they decorate banquet halls on holidays, create warm comfort in the house and even in the office.

The very idea of ​​creating a topiary from coins is interesting because such a tree can be very useful as a gift not only to relatives, but to colleagues and even bosses. Moreover, this is a universal gift for both women and men. It is not necessary to look for such a tree on sale, because the easiest way is to make it yourself. Even if you have never done crafts, in this article we invite you to consider examples, detailed instructions, which will help you learn how to make a money tree from coins yourself.

Process of creation

To build a tree of happiness with your own hands, you need several elements, but these very elements can be made from different material, we will give several options with illustrative examples to make it easier to imagine what items you can use.

The basis for the crown. The usual version is a ball made of porous material or a plastic ball, these are sold in children's toy stores or pet stores. And in extreme cases, such a ball can be cut from a piece of foam or crumpled old newspapers, tying them with threads. The advantage of this method is that you yourself determine the size of the ball - the basis.

Tree trunk can be from a real branch, a thin stick or cable. Beautiful twigs can be varnished or painted, but other materials can be wrapped with any beautiful ribbon with glue. The trunk of a tree can be branched, it all depends on the imagination.

The basis any container, a glass made of plastic, a mug or a ready-made clay pot will serve as a topiary. If it is just a box from under something, then it will need to be decorated or wrapped with cloth, mesh, just painted with paint.

Such pots are often decorated with twigs or paper rolled into tubes.

The filling into the base can also be varied and rather simple in execution. It can be from the same piece of foam, polyurethane foam, alabaster, gypsum, cement.

For topiary also need glue... Usually it is a transparent polymer glue like a dragon or a special glue gun with so-called liquid nails. The latter is almost odorless, which is important. The work is painstaking and lengthy, you need to take care of your safety. If the glue is odorless, it should be kept in a well-ventilated area. And the final moment will be decorating topiary... All kinds of decorative elements, ribbons from organza and satin, decorative nets, beads, rhinestones, sand for filling realism, sparkles, stones and so on are used.

Master class by example

Topiary of coins begins with the selection of material. To create such a tree, we need new shiny coins.

And if there are none, you can use the old ones, but then cover with gold paint.

The ball in our case is a soft foam rubber ball, for its hardness we glue it with tape, since the foam rubber can open. We begin to glue the ball on top, first one coin, then around it at an angle, continue from top to bottom, like fish scales.

It is more convenient to glue with a thermal gun, the glue hardens very quickly, you just have to press and wait a second. So circle by circle we glue the entire ball to the bottom, at the end we leave a place for attaching the trunk. For clarity, see step-by-step photos:

The barrel in our topiary is a thick aluminum wire, we wrap it with a shiny decorative ribbon and stick it into our ball of coins. If there is empty space left, we supplement it with coins. We decorate the coins themselves with self-adhesive rhinestones. And finally, cover the lower part of the crown with flower petals from a ribbon, as shown in the photo.

Under the pot, we take an ordinary plastic glass, which we disguised with gold paint, we decorate our pot with sparkles and the same ribbons that we wrapped around the trunk. Glue a gold leaf on the front part.

We put the trunk with the crown in a pot and fill it with a mixture of alabaster and sand.

It is worth noting that alabaster dries quickly, so it is easier to knead the composition right in the pot and "plant" our product.

When everything is dry, leaves and beads are attached to the trunk, paint over the very base in the pot with paint. If you have used regular coins, then we advise you to varnish from above.

The money tree can be different: on one flower bills "grow", and on the other - coins. Both options are good, it's about execution. And yet, coin topiary looks more convincing, and somehow more associated with the theme of prosperity and financial plans.

The money tree is not just a souvenir. This is a topiary, which in any sense of the word has value also because new ten-ruble coins are often taken for its manufacture. Why new? Because you don't have to polish them with your own hands or decorate them in any way - they themselves look good.

To create a topiary from coins, you will need:

  • Foam ball for the base;
  • Ten-ruble coins (new or souvenir);
  • Thermal gun;
  • PVA glue;
  • Aluminum cable;
  • A pot or plastic cup;
  • Decorative little things - sequins, rhinestones, ribbon, braid;
  • Acrylic paints.

The master class begins with the fact that you have to paste over the ball. A ball is either a foam blank or a base for the crown, which you will have to do with your own hands. It can be a papier-mâché construction, or filled with polyurethane foam, slightly inflated balloon... You can also glue coins on small balls for children.

For the coins to stick well, the surface of the ball must not be slippery. Cover it with paper or napkins. You need to glue the coins with a heat gun. If you stick it out of place, the tree will not have a beautiful crown.

Coins are glued like this:

  • First glue one coin, and above it, two more on top. These two should be fixed so that the first coin is underneath them, in the middle, and they lean against it like scales.
  • Then glue the island of these three coins on all sides. And then gradually glue the coins scaly.
  • In one of the places on the ball, leave a small area for the hole in which the barrel will enter.

The money tree should have a beautiful crown, therefore the sequence of gluing the coins is so important.

DIY coin topiary: we do it step by step

Actually, the crown is the most difficult thing that you have to do with your own hands, if we consider this particular master class. If you are afraid that the coins will not stick as they should, use the photo as a guide. If it turns out to make the same row as in the photo, move on.

And now about what kind of trunk a money tree should have. This master class proposes to build it from an aluminum cable. You can bend the cable the way you want, and then it is perfectly fixed with glue in the hole in the ball-crown. You can decorate the trunk by simply wrapping it with a thin golden ribbon.

Next, see how the trunk looks like with the crown. If you want some more decoration, then stick rhinestones on the coins, not on everything, of course. Another option is volumetric stickers. These are the same adhesive-backed beads and rhinestones that you can often buy in the children's art department.

Topiary from coins: decorating the pot with your own hands

The next thing that this master class says to do is a pot. It is difficult to find a flowerpot that is ideal for a souvenir tree. It is clear that it should be the same in decor, that is, golden.

How to make a beautiful pot with your own hands:

  • This mini master class consists of simple steps... Take a regular plastic cup, preferably a wide one. Degrease it and paint it with beautiful golden acrylic paint.
  • Painting alone won't be enough... You can use glitter, colored salt, small crystals and colored buttons. The grandfather's way, when sequins are made by hand by beating Christmas tree decorations, will also work. In general, flip through the photo gallery, you may want to repeat something, what to do in your own way.
  • Next, you need to fill the pot with plaster, and while the plaster is not frozen, stick a table into it, making sure that it is firmly fixed. The top layer of gypsum must be decorated, otherwise the coin topiary will have a gap in this place. The easiest option is to throw in the same coins or just sprinkle some glitter.

Do not forget to take a photo - if the tree turned out to be beautiful and graceful, it will not be superfluous to show it off. Or you can take a photo master class.

  • The most popular topiary of this type that you can create with your own hands is the coffee wallet.... Such a tree has its own zest, and it lies in the fact that you paste over the crown with coffee beans, leaving a triangle for coins. Select this triangle with a zipper, from where you can see the coins. The only difficulty is that you need to fix everything very carefully, both coffee and coins.
  • Often a topiary made of coffee and coins is made in the form of a floating cup. The main thing is to build a solid frame with your own hands in the form of a jet of coins and coffee. It is he who holds the structure together. Coffee beans can also be on a platter, where the stream is supposedly pouring.
  • Sometimes coffee is dyed to match the color of coins.... Then you will get a beautiful golden structure that does not lose its zest, and this, of course, is a coffee aroma.
