Topiary made from banknotes is a fairly common room decor item today. And in order to decorate a room with topiary, you don’t need to spend a lot of money and time. Everything can be done with your own hands without much effort. To do this, you only need to see the master class once.
Topiary is the tree of happiness. Money topiary is quite common in European floristry. The wide popularity of the product is explained by the fact that it is an alternative to indoor plants. But compared to fresh flowers, you don’t need to take care of the money tree or worry about the composition dying from lack of watering or sunlight.
The money tree is a very original composition that always attracts the eyes of guests and it is not at all difficult to make it with your own hands after watching the master class once.
The money tree, which is made by hand from sisal and banknotes, looks original.
To create a masterpiece you will need:
Flowers for the tree are made from banknotes. First, you need to fold them diagonally so that you get a square. The excess is cut off. Subsequently, each square is also bent diagonally. The result is small triangles. Each corner of the base of the resulting triangles rises to the top and bends. Then the corners of the triangles are folded.
After the blanks are ready, they need to be glued together using a glue gun. It is preferable to use this particular adhesive because PVA takes much longer to dry, which means it will take much more time to create a money tree. Flowers are formed from ready-made 5 models.
For a ball with a diameter of 70 mm, 24 flowers are enough. Before making topiary, it is better to watch the master class.
The vase must be decorated with sisal fiber. The shade depends only on the imagination of the author of the exhibition. But, it is better to choose fiber and satin ribbon of the same color. The fiber is laid out in a vase, on which a regular T-shirt bag is placed.
The plaster will hold the “trunk” of the money tree. First, gypsum or alabaster is diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio to the consistency of thick sour cream. The composition is poured into a plastic bag, a cable and 4 pieces of thin wire are inserted into the center of the thick mass. They will become branches of the money tree. The plaster hardens very quickly, so after 10-15 minutes, the master class on creating topiary from banknotes can be continued.
After hardening, the plastic bag is removed, the plaster is placed in a decorative vase on the fiber and the top is also decorated with sisal. Satin ribbon is needed to wrap it around the trunk and branches of a tree. Not straight stems, but twisted ones will look very beautiful.
The ball serves as the crown of the money tree. You don't have to take a foam ball. If you don’t have such a handy tool, then a regular newspaper will do.
A ball is formed from it, on top of which threads and sisal are applied to strengthen the structure. The ball is attached with glue to a cable - a tree trunk. Ready-made flowers made from banknotes are glued onto the ball. To make money topiary look more magnificent, individual “tendrils” of fiber are passed between the flowers.
To create such a product with your own hands, you will need all the same materials that were described above. Only this master class involves decorating a topiary with five decorative leaves and ladybugs.
First of all, you should make “pounds” for the crown. To do this, each bill is cut in half and “balls” are formed from them and secured with glue. 50 bags are enough. Then all the pounds are glued together with their sides. The result is a single flower made from banknotes. This is the base of the crown of the money tree. But it will consist not of one, but of several layers, and the number of “balls” decreases with each layer. To make it clearer, let me watch the master class.
Decorative branches are attached to the cable, which is pre-wrapped with a satin ribbon, using thin wire. The cable does not have to be straight; it can be twisted in a spiral.
The decorative vase in which the money tree will be located is filled with foam cubes, which are filled with plaster. Then the cable and branches are installed. Drying time – 20 minutes.
A circle with a diameter of 110-140 mm is cut out of cardboard. A hole is cut in the center of the circle. Through it it will be easy to decorate the base for the crown with a satin ribbon. Decorative leaves are glued to the base. After this, a multi-layer crown of banknotes is attached using a glue gun.
The plaster is covered with sisal on top, the branches are straightened or curled. The crown and cable are attached to each other with a glue gun. Finally, ladybugs are placed on the money tree. After watching the master class, you can clearly see all the methods described.
For the New Year, all living spaces are decorated with appropriate items. And not just a tree, but a Christmas tree made from banknotes will look original and unique.
To make a tree with your own hands you will need:
Part of the cone is cut off and placed in a vase. The cone itself is placed on wooden sticks and placed in a vase. There is no need to cut the banknotes; they are folded in such a way as to form a fold. The money is attached to the foam cone with small pins. You should start forming rows from the bottom. After this, you need to examine the tree from all sides and make sure that there are no gaps left. The final stage is a star, which is cut out of paper and attached to the top of the money tree using a toothpick. This Christmas tree decoration looks good in combination with multi-colored ribbons or tags.
To create a money topiary from dollars you need:
Combine the cardboard into a tube, dilute the plaster with water and fill the mold with it, after installing a skewer in the center of the plaster base - the table of the future money tree.
Make 40-50 “bags” from banknotes, from which 3 layers of the Christmas tree are then formed. For example, the bottom one will consist of 13 bags, the middle one of 10, the top one of 7. The paper cones are attached to each other with glue. The tiers should be attached to the skewer in the same way. The plaster base is wrapped in a napkin. Perhaps just draw a picture with watercolors.
A tree made of dollars and beads, made by yourself, looks very beautiful. The principle of creating the product is the same as described above. Only to such a tree are decorative branches with seeded beads added, from which patterns are subsequently formed. Beads can be used to make edgings for money bags.
A tree that contains banknotes, coins, and beads will look no less effective. Just don’t forget that the composition doesn’t look “clumsy”.
In any case, before you start creating a money tree from banknotes with your own hands, it is better to watch a master class from decorating experts.
Not everyone knows how to give money in an unusual way. In the presented master classes you will find a detailed description and step-by-step photos of making money trees, rain; learn how to make a rose with your own hands from banknotes.
The content of the article:
As you know, the best gift is money. The person to whom they are given will be able to use the banknotes at his own discretion and buy what he wants. But how to give them? If you simply put it in an envelope, the gift will not make the right impression. And if you make flowers out of banknotes, make a real money shower, or present a tree with dollars instead of leaves, such a gift will be remembered for a long time.
Let it rain money on the young. To do this, you will need:
For the first idea, you will need a cute glass jar with a nice lid. Exchange money for bills of various denominations. If you want to present your boss with domestic money, which is popularly called “cabbage,” then fold the banknotes and put them in a jar. The inscription “cauliflower” will not go unnoticed.
If you intend to give your manager dollars, then also put them in a transparent container and write that these are “dried greens.” You can also give “canned cabbage”. Give a present with the words that a new bank account has been opened for the boss.
A gift for the boss may be a little different. You will need a head of real cabbage for this. Carefully cut it out, leaving only a few outer leaves. Put money inside.
A gift for your boss for his birthday or dedicated to another event may be a little different. In this case, the cabbage is made from corrugated paper. Green sheets are used to cover a round shape, such as a ball. It can be created from newspapers, crumpled up and tied with a rope. Then round blanks are cut out of green corrugated paper, slightly tapering towards one edge. With this part, glue them to the base, and make the top wavy.
When the glue dries, place bills between the leaves.
To prevent flour from spilling, use 2 or 3 bags for one package of “white powder” and check their integrity first. To do this, inflate the bag, pinch the hole with your finger and see if any air comes out.
Here's another gift you can give a man. A shirt made from a banknote will also be an unforgettable and original gift.
For this craft, it is better to use souvenir money printed on a color printer or purchased, since it needs to be glued to the base.
To work you will need:
A wooden stick can be decorated in several ways: wrap string around it and then coat it with varnish or spray paint. Or do not use thread, but immediately paint the stick and let it dry.
While this is happening, you will have time to make money preparations. To make the tree of banknotes lush, you will need a lot of them - about 150 pieces.
Fold the first piece of money in half crosswise, fold the edge back by 7 mm.
We begin to assemble the money tree with our own hands, or by calling an assistant. Cover the ball with bags. Lubricate the sharp corner of the first workpiece with a solution from a glue gun, and glue the workpiece to the ball from below.
In order for the tree to have a beautiful round crown, the bottom row of bags can be glued simultaneously to the ball and to the trunk, smearing with glue not only the corner, but also the side of the banknote.
Then, using the same technique, but applying glue only to the corner of the blanks, decorate the second lower tier. Gradually moving towards the center, fill the ball with banknotes. They need to be secured close to each other. You can alternate domestic and foreign banknotes.
Then let the solution harden completely and decorate its surface with coins or pieces of burlap, attaching them with a glue gun. Now the fabric under the tree (if you used it) needs to be coated with spray paint. You can put decorative stones on the surface of the plaster.
The time has come to admire the finished work, and you can give the symbol of wealth to the person for whom it was intended.
In the middle, make a hole for a dowel, which we will use as a tree trunk. Pour some glue into the hole.
Cut the moss to the diameter of the pot, making a small circle in the middle, into which insert an impromptu tree trunk made from dollars. Insert its lower end into the hole in the sponge and secure it in this position.
Let's let the glue dry, but for now we'll make “leaves” for it from fake dollars. You can also use real bills, exchanging, for example, $1.
Starting from the small edge, fold the bill into an accordion shape.
Straighten the top edge of the piece so that it looks like a fan. Make several of these blanks, attach them to the ball, distributing them evenly.
The density of the crown depends on your financial capabilities and the denomination of banknotes. Even if the ball is not completely closed, such a money tree looks very attractive and has value.
If you gave a gift for a wedding or anniversary, you can write the name or names of those for whom such a wonderful gift is intended, and decorate it with ribbons, a bow or small decorative flowers.
To make a bouquet of money look beautiful, take new, crisp banknotes that have not been in circulation much.
In addition to them, you will need:
For the base of the flower you need a cork like this, with steps cut out. If you don’t have these, then fold the larger side of the A4 sheet by 6 cm, cut off this strip of paper, roll it onto a marker or thick pencil and secure the edges with tape so that the part does not unwind.
Now fold the bill in half so that the curls are facing out. Place an elastic band over the fold.
Now attach the next bill in the same way. When using 5 bills you will have a rose of 10 petals. If you want to make it more magnificent, add a blank from another banknote, let it become 12 petals.
You can put a piece of sponge inside the paper tube on which we formed the flower and pierce it with the end of a wooden skewer, which is coated with glue. Then you will get flowers like this.
If you have artificial flowers, then remove the buds from them, and secure money roses in the sepals.
Now you can present roses, made with your own hands, to the person for whom they were intended, and in such an interesting way to give money.

You can give a gift of money in an original way using the tips that we will present to your attention below.
The most pleasant and, undoubtedly, desired wedding gift is money. There is nothing shameful or provocative here, because the money that is given to the newlyweds for their wedding is their basis in the family budget.
In more ancient times, money was given in simple white envelopes, and the envelopes were thrown into glass jars, handed to the young people themselves, or thrown at their feet. 
After some time, money envelopes appeared, designed specifically for such special occasions, and every year they became more and more beautiful. Such envelopes could “hide” any amount. The main feature was that no one would notice exactly how much you gave to the newlyweds, and it is not customary to open such envelopes in front of everyone.
But even the most beautiful envelopes began to become boring over time. And a generation of needlewomen came to their aid, who came up with such a gift of money for a wedding as a savings book for the young. 
This is a special album in which there are many pleasant wishes, thematic pictures and photos of the couple are pasted into it, and in addition to all this, in various unexpected places you can find money for the most pleasant expenses and purchases.
Making such a savings book for newlyweds is not so difficult, especially if you have a creative touch and a great desire to surprise the newlyweds. If you do not have the ability to do this, then such a book can always be ordered on special websites.
The book itselfconsists of several important parts: 
If handmade is not your forte, and you don’t want to go through the hassle of creating a gift, then we suggest you familiarize yourself with the ancient art of origami. It will teach you some secrets on how to beautifully fold paper into a three-dimensional shape. 
Money is also paper, so making something from banknotes is not at all difficult. Most often, figures are made in the form of wardrobe items: dresses, shirts, ties or human figures. In addition, you can make a heart, a bird, butterflies and even a car.
You can always make the figure that will suit your occasion. Depending on who the gift is intended for, you can distribute the figures by gender: for women - flowers and dresses, and for men - a tie and shirt.
For example, you can make a money cake. Of course, it will be covered with souvenir bills, but it will be made from several boxes, which will be stacked on top of each other like a snowman. When opening each of them, the birthday boy will find a cash gift.
If there are no souvenir bills on sale, don’t worry. Use the printer and print out images of the desired banknotes. You can also decorate the cake with them.
Another interesting way is to give money in balloons. To do this, find a large box in which you will need to put all the inflated balls, in each of which some kind of bill will be hidden.
This is a classic, but in no way outdated way to give money for any occasion: wedding, birthday or anniversary. Such gifts are already often sold in stores, so you don’t even need to do everything yourself.
Place plasticine or soil in the pot. Insert a stick of wood into the plasticine and press it on top to hide our plasticine, and sprinkle earth on top. Make several indentations in the foam blank with a knife or blade. Insert bills into the holes, which will be folded several times.
Instead of drainage, you can use small change. You can paint the trunk of the tree with paints or decorate it with ribbons, serpentine, lace, fabric and beads.
As an option for an original gift made from money with your own hands, you can give a living money tree, which you will decorate with banknotes. To do this, buy a money tree and carefully attach banknotes to its branches, which should be rolled into a tube in advance and decorated with ribbons.
Decorate this item with wrapping paper, ribbon or serpentine, painted banknotes, rhinestones, and a lush bow on the handle. To such a shovel you need to tie a bag containing money. Banknotes can be attached simply to the shovel itself, without a bag.
This original gift of money is very easy to make. If possible, inflate the balloons with helium; if not, then do it the old fashioned way. The balls must have a bill inside.
Twist the money into a tube and put it in the not yet inflated balloon, and only after that start filling it with air.
As you can see, it’s quite easy to surprise your family and friends, the main thing is to properly use the money for the gift. And that's all!
