Money topiary - DIY candlestick. Master class with step-by-step photos. Making topiary from coins Tree of happiness from coins

In recent years, crafts in the form of trees (topiary) have become very popular, which look great in any interior. Topiaries made from coffee beans look quite original; they also have a light, unobtrusive aroma that brings an atmosphere of warmth and comfort to any room. Every day more and more new variants of coffee topiary appear on the Internet, for example, one of the latest - with an unfastened clasp and coins. The idea was very interesting, I couldn’t pass it by. 🙂

So, let's begin…

You will need:

base: foam ball or ordinary newspapers,
dark brown yarn
lock with metal zipper,
some small coins
coffee beans,
a can of quick-drying gold-colored enamel,
flowerpot, mug or any other suitable pot,
building plaster (alabaster),
trunk (skewers, wire, corelius sprig, etc. I have: round cable and thin strong wire),
brown acrylic paint (can be replaced with satin ribbon),
soft brush for applying paint (if necessary),
hot glue gun,
decor - optional.

Creating a tree trunk...

In this case, I really wanted to create a beautifully curved barrel, but I didn’t have a strong round cable, so I did the following.

She pulled out the cores from the soft round cable and inserted a strong wire in place of one of the cores. We bend beautifully...

We dilute the gypsum with cool water to the consistency of thick sour cream and place it in the prepared pot. We install the trunk of our future tree in the center and hold it until the plaster hardens well.

The trunk can be either decorated with ribbon or painted with brown acrylic paint.

While the paint dries, let’s work on the crown of the topiary...

Any material can be used as a base; an important condition is its lightness. This can be either a ready-made or a self-cut foam ball, or a tightly crumpled lump of ordinary newspapers. This time I used newspapers.

Wrap the ball well with brown yarn.

We glue the coins in a maximum of two layers so that they do not rise too much and the crown of our tree looks beautiful and natural. To control, we sometimes try on a lock.

I did something like this...

We fix the lock with hot glue...

The lock with coins needs to be painted gold; for this it is convenient to use a can of quick-drying enamel. But the yarn must be closed; you can use a regular food bag and tape.

Let's paint...

When the paint has dried, install the crown on the trunk. Fix with hot glue.

I also painted over the part of the lock where I was going to start covering it with coffee beans a little with brown acrylic paint.

When the paint has dried, we’ll start covering the crown with coffee beans. We fix each grain with hot glue, trying to avoid gaps, adjusting the grains to each other.

So, the whole crown...

All that's left to do is decorate a little. To do this, you can use fake banknotes, star anise flowers, cinnamon sticks, etc. Or, like I did, decorate with dried orange peel flowers.

This is the topiary I got...

Large and mini…

Have fun creating!

I was glad to help!

Knowing how to make a money tree from coins or bills with your own hands using a photo and the instructions provided, you can always decorate the interior or give an original gift.

The money tree can be different: flower bills “grow” on one, and coins on the other. Both options are good, it’s a matter of execution. And yet, topiaries made from coins look more convincing, and are somehow more associated with the theme of wealth and financial plans.

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

To create a coin topiary you will need:

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

The master class begins with the fact that you will have to cover the ball. The ball is either a foam blank or a base for the crown, which you will have to make yourself. This could be a papier-mâché structure, or a slightly inflated balloon filled with polyurethane foam. You can also glue coins onto small children's balls.

In order for coins to stick well, the surface of the ball should not be slippery. Cover it with paper or napkins. You need to glue coins with a heat gun. If you glue them at random, the tree will not have a beautiful crown.

Coins are glued like this:

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

The money tree must have a beautiful crown, which is why the order of gluing the coins is so important.

Do-it-yourself coin topiary: do it step by step

Actually, the crown is the most difficult thing you will 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, refer to the photo. If you can 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 suggests constructing it from aluminum cable. You can bend the cable the way you need, and then it is perfectly fixed with glue in the hole of the crown ball. You can decorate the trunk by simply wrapping it with a thin golden ribbon.

Next, look at what the trunk looks like along with the crown. If you want some other decoration, then stick rhinestones on the coins, not all of them, of course. Another option is voluminous stickers. These are the same adhesive-based beads and rhinestones that can often be bought in the children's art department.

Topiary made from coins: decorate the pot with your own hands

The next thing this tutorial 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.
Just painting won't be enough. You can use sparkles, colored salt, small rhinestones and painted buttons. The old-fashioned method, when you make glitter with your own hands by beating Christmas tree decorations, will also work. In general, scroll through the photo gallery, you might want to repeat something, do it your own way.
Next you need to fill the pot with plaster, and before the plaster hardens, stick a table into it, making sure that it is firmly fixed. The top layer of plaster 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 glitter.

Don’t forget to take a photo - if the tree turns out beautiful and graceful, it wouldn’t hurt 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 purse.
