Money tree in the house: care, signs and superstitions. Do-it-yourself painting of a money tree made from coins with video Do-it-yourself painting of a money tree

Good day to all!
I made this “Money Tree” as a gift.

I used:
- wooden photo frame 30x40; 30x45 (smaller size possible)
- Fibreboard (chipboard)
- PVA glue, hot-melt gun or Titan glue (Moment glue transparent)
- coins (washing powder, Comet, vinegar, salt, alcohol or degreaser, rubber gloves)
- brush, pencil, scissors, foam sponge
- two-layer - three-layer paper napkins, papier-mâché from egg trays, pieces of wallpaper, tow, twine, thick threads for knitting
- a piece of leather for a money bag (imitation leather), braid for decoration
- black acrylic enamel paint (dark brown) for primer
- bronze acrylic enamel paint for stamping
- scrapbooking: key lock, owl, pebbles-shells, eggshells (glued with PVA glue, beans are pebbles (glued with Moment glue), chain, money bag, birds-butterflies, flowers-leaves, sun, turtle , ladybug and any little thing.

1. Prepare the frame and base: remove the glass, replace the cardboard with chipboard. The glass can then be inserted from the reverse side and a congratulation or description of the symbolism present on the panel can be placed under it). A description of the symbolism can be read here - If you make a mount on the back side to hang a picture, then glass will not be needed. Drill 2 holes in the chipboard, insert screws and secure a strong cord on which the panel will be hung. On the front side, the screws will be covered with a layer of coins. The frame can be left initially as is, or it can be stamped with a sponge and gold or bronze acrylic paint, or decorated with crumpled napkins on PVA, painted and stamped before inserting the panel into the frame.

2. Prepare coins: soak in 9% vinegar and salt in a thick paste for 20 minutes. and wipe with gloves) can be cleaned with washing powder, soda, “Komet”. Degrease with alcohol (degreaser). Dry.

3. Roll flagella from 2-3 layer napkins (strips 1.5-2 cm wide or of different widths): * take a strip, moisten with water, twist at an angle of 45 degrees in one direction, not tightly. Lay out the flagella to dry.
To form the trunk, you can use thick threads, tow, papier-mâché from egg trays, and twine. The background on chipboard can be decorated with PVA napkins with a crinkled effect.

4. Draw a sketch of the trunk and crown. Coat the area where the barrel will be with PVA glue. We form a trunk from flagella, gluing chipboard on PVA to the base. If the flagella are dry, spray them with water from a spray bottle to make them elastic.
When gluing the extreme contours of the trunk, use as little glue as possible without going beyond the boundaries of the sketch.

5. Form a trunk, branches, roots and hollow for the owl. Using a heat gun or just glue from a bottle, create a tree crown from coins, first along the outline of the sketch, then fill in the middle.
Dry and remove the “cobwebs” from the glue using a coarse brush.

6. Glue symbols: the sun, an owl in a hollow, butterflies and birds in pairs, a lock key on a branch, a chain on a trunk, a ladybug, a turtle, leaves on the crown, pebbles or eggshells placed at the roots of the tree, a money bag at the bottom of the panel ( made of thin leather or leatherette, foam inside), flowers, etc.
We cover the first layer of coins and the entire panel with black acrylic paint, painting over all the cracks. Dry

Stamp with bronze acrylic paint or gold: lightly dip a foam sponge into the paint and carefully, pressing slightly, stamp over the entire surface of not only the wood, but also the background and symbols. The sponge with paint should be almost dry. Before stamping, make a test print on a sheet of paper to remove excess ink. We highlight the sun with sweeping movements, forming rays.

Glue the second layer of coins (the empty spaces between the coins so that they do not show through). Glue the last 3rd layer of the most shiny and beautiful coins on top of the painted coins. The painting can be varnished.
Insert the finished panel into the prepared frame.

“The money tree attracts money.
Let there always be enough of them in your home!
May this gift bring joy.
As the tree grows, let your income grow."

A beautiful money tree is not only a real plant with a thick trunk and voluminous fleshy leaves. Among needlewomen there is a concept associated with the money tree. Many craftswomen have already made topiaries with coins or banknotes.

Do you also want to make a money tree with your own hands? If you use the step-by-step master classes with photos presented below and watch several selected videos, you will be able to make an incredibly beautiful, stylish, voluminous money tree. This craft in a pot will be a wonderful interior decoration. However, this is not the only benefit of this product. It is believed that such crafts bring financial well-being, joy, success, happiness, and the opportunity to achieve career heights to the home. Such a souvenir can be given to loved ones just like that or for a special occasion.

Step-by-step master class on creating an original money tree

Making a money tree with your own hands for interior decoration or as a gift is as easy as shelling pears. To do this, simply use the instructions with step-by-step photos presented below.

To make a money tree with your own hands, we will need a set of certain materials and tools. So, what do we need to get the job done? It is recommended to prepare the following:

• flower pot;
• a set of toy bills;
• plaster or plasticine;
• sisal;
• stick for the trunk;
• glue gun;
• several green satin ribbons;
• leg-split;
• scissors;
• Styrofoam.

To make a luxurious money tree from banknotes yourself, you first need to choose a container for the future tree. Even a small plastic cup will do. Do not be afraid. This container will not be visible. Later it is covered with decor. You can use plaster as a base weighting agent, but ordinary plasticine will also work, since the product turns out to be quite light and will not fall. For decoration you can take sisal. If you can’t find one, then any unusual paper that fits into the color scheme will do. As for the stick for the barrel, you can buy special devices. You can also use sushi chopsticks, ordinary twigs or wire. Such budget options can be draped with satin ribbons or twine. But the most important thing is the selection of foam for the base. Without it, our craft simply won’t work. When all the materials are prepared, you can safely get to work.

Step-by-step instructions with photos

Working on such a craft is incredibly exciting and interesting. Making a money tree with your own hands from banknotes is quite simple.

1. First of all, we need to take the prepared container. If you use plasticine, then it needs to be compacted into the selected cup. It is not necessary to fill the entire container with it. Also at this step it is worth measuring the stick. Don’t forget to leave a margin in order to fix the base on top, on which our banknotes will be fixed in the future.

1. Following the MK on creating a money tree with your own hands from banknotes, next you need to work on foam plastic and cut a blank from it. You choose the shape and size yourself. The figure can be any. However, the classic is a ball. The prepositional master class is also focused on creating a classic round base. Keep in mind: the larger your ball is, the more magnificent the crown of our future money tree with banknotes will be.

On a note! If you don’t want to do extra work, then you can immediately buy a round blank for topiary made of foam. In specialized stores, such a part costs mere pennies.

1. Now we need to design our container. To do this, take sisal or other fabric or paper that you have chosen for decoration. Fix the material with a glue gun. But remember that you should not apply too much of the fixing layer, as it may bleed through the sisal. Because of this, you can get burned, and the container will look untidy and ugly. Also, if you choose a plastic base, too much hot glue may cause it to melt or warp. For additional fastening, tie a satin ribbon around the container decorated with sisal. You will need to insert the barrel into the decorated container. This must be done thoroughly, since the integrity of the structure as a whole depends on its stability. Firmly compact the surface next to the trunk. Cover everything on top with sisal. You will need to attach a foam ball to the top of the barrel.

Note! You should first try the ball on the barrel. You need to make a hole in it and fill it with glue. Hold the foam ball onto the barrel as tightly as possible. This is necessary so that it is properly fixed, because the adhesive base does not set immediately.

1. Next we need to get to the fun part. This is the preparation of our decor. To do this, you will need to take artificial money; all bills need to be cut into two parts, in half. Many people often wonder how many cut souvenir bills are needed to decorate a topiary. It’s difficult to give a definite answer here, since foam bases can vary significantly in size. That is why each needlewoman is recommended to focus on her individual conditions. But you shouldn’t cut too many bills either. This is a waste of energy and time. It’s better to trim the missing elements later.

1. Now we need to start rolling up our blanks. Take half a bill. It needs to be rolled up like a little bag.

1. Then it folds in half lengthwise.

1. Next you need to bend it again.

1. The result is a design that resembles two small pockets. There is no need to smooth the resulting banknote blank.

1. Holding the paper element with your fingers, you need to drop a little glue onto its tip. The paper blank is glued to the foam base.

1. You need to glue the foam ball from the bottom; the banknote blanks are fixed in rows, completely covering the ball to the very top. The distance between them must be determined individually. The main thing is not to leave empty seats. The foam should not show through again! All that remains is to decorate the topiary. Here you can give free rein to your imagination. The composition can be supplemented with beads, rhinestones, satin ribbons, coins, whatever you like. Moreover, if you plan to give the finished tree to someone close, then supplement the money tree with real banknotes. Nicely roll up and tie the money with twine, attach it to a tree trunk or place it on top of the sisal.

We have created such an unusually stylish, beautiful, original money tree.

MK on creating a lush tree from banknotes

Here is another version of a money tree made from money that you can make with your own hands. This product looks very airy and stylish. The crown for this topiary is also created from paper bills. Such a money tree can become a talisman for the home or a wonderful president for friends or relatives.

Required materials and tools

What do we need to make such a money tree? To work you will need to prepare:

• 200 bills from the joke bank;
• toothpicks;
• sisal;
• trunk;
• toothpicks;
• foam base;
• architectural plaster;
• varied decor;
• glue gun

If you want to make a money topiary tree from real money, then prepare small bills in the amount of 200 pieces.

Step-by-step instructions with photos

Even a child can create such a money tree with his own hands.

1. The first step is to prepare all the necessary materials. You can see them in the photo below. As you can see, we don’t need any particularly rare materials or tools to create such a topiary.

1. Next you need to start preparing the bills. If you use them all, the tree will turn out too big. This is why it is recommended to cut the paper money from the joke bank in half. From them you need to roll the so-called pounds. It is recommended to glue toothpicks into some blanks. But you will also have to fix the halves of wooden skewers. Since it takes a lot of time to make pound cakes, do this work in several stages. Otherwise, you will quickly get bored with the process, and you will lose interest in creating such a money tree.

On a note! It is recommended to calculate in advance the exact required number of paper blanks. If you use a standard foam base (5 cm ball), then you will first need to make about 70 blanks from artificial banknotes. If there are not enough of them, you can always add new pounds.

1. Now we need to create a crown for our money tree. To do this, a foam ball is fixed to the barrel. To do this you need to use a glue gun. Now you need to glue the blanks equipped with toothpicks into the ball. Needlewomen often call them beacons. For such a craft, it is optimal to use about 20 similar blanks. All other paper elements will be placed between them.

1. It is recommended to glue them in groups: it is convenient and quick. But do not forget that toothpicks must be lubricated with a solution from a glue gun. This is what we got.

1. All the space between our boys needs to be filled with the rest of the paper blanks. It is recommended to glue sisal fibers in some places between the pounds. They will make our tree more voluminous, lush, and beautiful.

1. Now you need to take care of the pot itself. Take a container. This could be an ordinary flower pot. It needs to be filled with architectural plaster. But first, do not forget to fill it with foam cubes; these are the ones that need to be filled with plaster.

On a note! If you fill the entire container with plaster, it will turn out too heavy.

The topiary trunk is inserted in the center. Before the plaster hardens, you need to decorate the pot. For this purpose, grass is made from sisal. It can be decorated with various decorative elements. It is best to use a glue gun for this. What can be used as decoration? A variety of elements are suitable here: flowers, keys, beads, greenery, rhinestones, birds. Of course, you don’t need to use everything at once. You can choose only what you like.

If you have never made topiary from coffee beans, money topiary is a great option for your first craft.

Assembling a topiary begins with the base. This could be a foam ball. This blank can be purchased at a craft store. The base can be a ball, a polyurethane foam ball (it can be easily made using a balloon, which then needs to be burst with a sharp object), or a macroflex ball. One of the most budget options is a DIY ball made from old newspapers. Following the step-by-step master class, you can make such a simple base for the craft:

Paint the branch with paint and cover it with a protective layer of varnish. The traditional color is brown. Gold and silver paint looks especially elegant and magical. You can use different colors, but it is important to respect the overall composition and stick to your chosen style. Instead of a branch, you can use sushi sticks glued together.
7. Make a pot for topiary. You can make it from a plastic bottle or glass vessel. You can buy a plant pot at the store. Place balls or glass beads into a transparent container to make the craft look more beautiful.
8. Attach a branch to the bottom of the pot or container with hot glue.

Making a money topiary with your own hands is not at all difficult; the main thing is to understand the principle of making this art object, which is popular today among needlewomen and lovers of unusual room decoration. And if you know about options for replacing parts of the craft and various ways to decorate the pot and crown, then you can even create your own unique tree of happiness, unlike anyone else’s.

Why from money?

Topiary or the tree of happiness in the form that will be discussed further has existed in Europe for many decades. Craftswomen from Russia and the CIS countries relatively recently began to master the art of making topiaries, but have already succeeded quite greatly in this.

Money topiaries, popular today as a decorative element in an ordinary apartment

Initially, topiary is the art of landscape design, which consists of cutting the crowns of trees and bushes in a special way (not only in the form of geometric shapes, but also in the form of animals, birds, etc.), and a topiary is a topiary master. Over time, there was a confusion of terminology, and today topiary is an artificial tree with a round crown, which is not related to any real plant and is only a figment of the imagination of designers and needlewomen.

Topiary is a small artificial tree “planted” in a pot with an unusual spherical crown. There are no more strict rules and regulations regarding making a tree of happiness and there cannot be any more. This, of course, plays into the hands of creative people, because the scope for imagination opens up extraordinary!

So, topiary today is made from paper and feathers, coffee and fabrics, flowers and sweets! It is made according to the style of the room or designer’s find, in honor of a personal or family celebration.

Topiary made from banknotes is one of the most unusual embodiments of the tree of happiness, which has been rapidly gaining momentum lately.

Money topiary

Why make topiary out of money and how much can it cost?

You won’t believe it, but a topiary whose crown consists of banknotes will cost you no more than a craft made from artificial flowers or coffee. The fact is that no one ever makes money topiary from real paper bills; coins can be real, but this is not at all necessary.

Of course, one could be puzzled and make a tree from ten or fifty ruble banknotes so that the craft would be relatively inexpensive, but the fact is that such a topiary will look cheap or undignified. A tree made from banknotes of 100 dollars, 50 euros or 5 thousand rubles looks much more interesting, “more expensive” and more presentable!

Why make such a tree of happiness? Tasks and goals can be very different:

• Money topiary is an unusual interior decoration that will add zest to your home.

If you strive to create an unusual interior, unlike anyone else’s and reflecting your individuality, then such an art object is what you need.

• A tree of happiness made from banknotes is an original gift for a birthday, anniversary or other holiday, and not necessarily a joke gift, because a couple of real, impressive ones can be attached to a crown of counterfeit money.
• Money topiary can also be used to attract capital into your life, if you do it with a certain mood and a desire to get rich in the future.

One way or another, no matter what goal you pursue, topiary made from banknotes will delight you with its simplicity of execution and an unusual and very beautiful result of the work.

Step-by-step master class

In order to make a money topiary with your own hands at home you will need:

• gypsum and water for diluting it
• polyurethane foam
• flowerpot
• car spray paint
• joke bank banknotes
• tree branch
• glue gun
• scissors
• toothpicks
• sesal
• decorative ribbon (organza, satin), wrapping paper and other materials of your choice for decoration

The sequence of actions when making a money topiary is as follows:

Preparatory stage: securing parts of the future topiary

• Form a ball of polyurethane foam and place it on the branch before the foam has time to dry.
• Dilute the plaster with water to obtain the consistency of thick sour cream. Pour the resulting mixture into the pot to the edge, insert a branch into the pot and hold until the mixture hardens.
• When the plaster is completely dry, carefully paint the entire structure in the color of your choice and wait until it is completely dry before continuing to work.

The process of making “leaflets” from banknotes

• Make “leaves” of banknotes: put each one in a bag (for this you may need to first fold the bill in half), fill the sharp end with glue and insert a toothpick into it, as shown in the photo. The number of leaves will depend on the size of your tree's crown.
• Cut out squares measuring 10 by 10 cm from felt, bend them in half and also glue a toothpick in the middle (see photo). This will be a decorative element of the future topiary.

Decoration of the crown of the money topiary

• Begin to form the crown of the topiary by sticking the banknote leaves into the foam ball. The main part of the crown should be banknotes, and felt leaves can occasionally be found in the upper part among banknotes and completely form the lower part of the topiary.
• Distribute the rest of the decor, in this case sesal, over the crown of the topiary.

Decorating a money topiary pot

• Decorate the topiary pot with the remains of the sesal, securely gluing it to the plaster with a glue gun.
• Roll up a real bill, if you plan to give real money, carefully tie it with a ribbon and place it near the trunk of the topiary.

Ready tree of happiness

Manufacturing options for individual parts

Making a tree of happiness in general and a money topiary in particular is a process that cannot be regulated by any strict laws and framework from beginning to end. Everyone is free to work in any sequence and use any available materials, based on financial and other realities and possibilities. Let us give several examples of the use of improvised materials for individual components of topiary.

The ball, which is the basis of the topiary crown,can be made not only from polyurethane foam, but also from:

• foam spherical blank, purchased at any hardware and craft materials store;
• a homemade ball from newspaper, PVA glue and twine (to do this, just roll up a tight ball from newspapers, wrap it with rope and carefully glue it so that it does not open in the future);
• from a floral sponge, which is sold in any flower shop;
• made from a soft children's foam ball.

As a basis for the topiary crown, you can use, among other things, a children's foam ball.

For the topiary trunkNot only a natural tree branch is also suitable, but also other materials and solutions:

• skewers placed together and wrapped in rope;
• a plastic stick from a flower shop;
• wooden base from a brush or other similar object;
• sushi sticks;
• a homemade stick, for example, from a wire frame and foil or plaster, if you want the shape of the trunk to be unusually curved or of different thicknesses in different areas.

As topiary pot The following options are suitable:

• an ordinary inexpensive flowerpot from the nearest garden store;
• a beautiful coffee cup or mug;
• plastic cup;
• any compact box.

In order to secure the topiary trunk in a pot, you can use not only plaster, but also sand and/or pebbles.

Decorative pebbles and pebbles can be used not only for decoration, but also to secure the topiary trunk in a pot

Composition design options

When making a money topiary with your own hands, you are not limited not only in materials, but also in the design of the finished composition.

• Banknotes can be folded not only into a bag, but also into an accordion, an airplane, a fan, a tube, etc.

You can fold a banknote for topiary in any way you like

• The crown can be decorated not only with paper money, but also with a combination of bills and coins, both in the crown of the tree of happiness and on the trunk or in a pot.

Money topiary can combine paper bills and real coins

• There is also an option when the money topiary is made entirely of coins, and this is certainly a stunning sight.

A money topiary made entirely of coins is a very, very impressive sight.

• The color scheme of the money topiary can be dictated by both the decorative material you have on hand (sesal, felt, etc.) and the color of the banknotes.

Sometimes the color scheme of topiary is suggested by the color of the banknotes themselves

• A ready-made artificial tree can serve as the basis for a money topiary, and the combination of paper bills and natural foliage color will make your tree of happiness even more unusual.

Money topiary, the basis of which is an artificial tree, can combine “natural” leaves and leaves from banknotes

• And, of course, there are an endless variety of design options for flowerpots: from the simplest and minimalist to those filled with all sorts of interesting details (figurines, ladders, beads, grass, bags, wallets, etc.). The materials can also be very different: paper, various kinds of fabrics, ribbons, etc.

In the design of money topiaries, burlap and twine are often used both for the design of small details and as the main decor for flowerpots

So, making a money topiary with your own hands is not a difficult task, but it is fascinating, and the result will be an unusual art object that will decorate any home or office.
