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.
Original wedding gift
Many people give newlyweds money, and rightly so. It is better to present banknotes than some household item that the newlyweds do not need at all. To make the wedding, including the part where gifts are presented, unforgettable, it is better to present an original gift.
Let it rain money on the young. To do this, you will need:
- new umbrella;
- paper clips;
- thin satin ribbon;
- money.
When the time comes to present your gift of money, go up to the newlyweds, open an umbrella over them and wish that such money rains would fall over them, and wealth would literally fall from heaven.
This would be a perfect gift for an anniversary or birthday. If you don't know what to present to your boss for an event, you can use this option or consider others.
What to give your boss
If you are thinking about this question, then again take advantage of the win-win option. The main thing is to present the banknotes in an unusual and original way. If your boss has a sense of humor, he will certainly appreciate your impulse.
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”. Hand over 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.
How to make a present for a friend
If you don’t know what to give a good friend for his birthday, give him a suitcase of money and something else, supposedly from the mafia. To do this, buy a small man's bag, put a few bags of flour inside, and fill the pockets of the bag with small denominations of money so that there is more of it. Open the zipper on the bag a little and let the banknotes peek out.
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.
If something remains unclear to you, then watch the video at the end of the article, it clearly shows how a shirt and tie are made from money. If you are not yet strong in origami, then it is better to first practice on a sheet of paper, cutting out a rectangle from it the size of a banknote.
Tree of banknotes
Such a symbol of wealth will certainly bring good luck. There are several ways to make a money tree with your own hands. The ones presented are some of the easiest.
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:
- paper bills;
- small plastic ball;
- glue gun;
- wooden stick 25 cm high;
- low flower pot;
- awl;
- varnish or spray paint:
- building gypsum.
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.
Roll the other side of the dollar or banknote into a little bag. Apply glue to the free edge and secure the resulting figure.
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.
Dilute plaster with water in a 1:1 ratio. Pour the solution into a pot, place the base of the money tree in it, do not let go of it immediately, wait until the solution sets. At this time, you can place colored twigs in plaster next to the trunk for decoration.
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.
Wealth symbol - another idea
To make such an exquisite souvenir or money tree for yourself that will attract wealth, take:
- flower pot;
- large wooden dowel;
- acrylic paints;
- polystyrene ball;
- floral foam blocks;
- decorative flowers or leaves;
- floral pins;
- natural or artificial moss;
- glue.
When the paint is dry, place a large block of floral foam inside the pot and small blocks around the edges. If you don't have such material, replace it with regular sponges.
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.
If you are using real money, then do not attach it with glue, but use a floral pin or a piece of wire for this purpose. We wrap these items around the dollar and attach it to the base ball as shown in the photographs.
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 still want to fill in the gaps between the bills, then take a decorative leaf, cut some of the wire so that it is flush with the bills, and attach the sheet to the ball.
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.
In conclusion, we present to your attention a craft that can be created quite quickly. If you don’t have much time, but want to present money in an original and beautiful way, then make roses out of them. A similar bouquet can be presented to anyone - both a woman and a man. These flowers will never wither, and any day the petals can be turned into banknotes again and bought something you need.
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:
- cork or foam blanks or A4 sheet;
- toothpicks;
- artificial flowers with lush leaves or wooden skewers;
- thin rubber bands.
For the base of the flower you need a plug 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.
See how to make flowers from banknotes. Take a toothpick and use it to twist all 4 corners of the money so that a petal curl is formed.
Now fold the bill in half so that the curls are facing out. Place an elastic band over the fold.
Wrap the petal with the rubber band around the paper blank and secure the petal to the base by twisting the rubber band around it several times.
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.
Having made several buds, proceed to the next stage of making a rose from money.
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.

If you don’t know what to give your friends for a birthday or holiday, but you don’t have time to buy a gift, you want it to be unusual. You can make a bouquet of roses from banknotes with your own hands, this is a rather interesting way to give money to the birthday boy and will surely surprise him with this money bouquet.
In order to make roses from money we will need:
- Paper bills (you choose what their denomination will be);
- Wire (Preferably if it is in green insulation);
- Rubber bands for money;
- Floral tape;
- Stems with leaves from any suitable tree, you can take from roses.
How to make a bouquet of roses from banknotes, step-by-step instructions:
For each rose we will need 4 banknotes, and it is up to you to decide how many such cash roses there will be. First, let's bend 4 edges of each bill using the twisting method.
To form a rosebud, you need to squeeze each of the 4 bills carefully in the middle and twist them with wire, bending 2 edges of each bill in the other direction from the wire, and the twisted corners of the bills were on the outside of the bud.
Now we form the rose itself, for this we take two of the four bills with wires and put one into one, so that the petals are rotated 90 degrees from each other. Now we twist their wires together. We straighten the petals, bend them where necessary, so that they look more like real roses.
Thus, we insert the remaining two bills with wires screwed to them. And again we weave all the wires together making a stem out of them. So we made one rose from banknotes, so we make several more roses.
We weave all the roses from money (we got 3 of them) together.
We take twigs with leaves and twist them with the remaining wire with money roses or tie them with an elastic band.
That's it, a bouquet of roses made from banknotes made by yourself is ready, you can also wrap the stem with additional floral tape to hide the wire.
Hello. I’ll show you this rose as I made it. The Internet shows a slightly different method; it was secured using rubber bands for money. But I didn’t do that, because with an awkward movement or tension, the bills in the fold could tear.... And we need to preserve the integrity of each piece of money at all costs.
It took me seven bills for each rose... I folded the edges of six bills like this: one edge in one direction, the other edge in the other. And the one that will be attached first has all 4 corners bent in one direction. So, after a long time of folding, I started wrapping each piece of money in a circle with paper...
Actually, this is what should happen.... The bill needs to be folded in half, slightly offset.
And we start gluing it with hot glue, pressing it tightly. And we carefully watch that the glue does not drip onto the money. This method is good because the bills fit tightly together and do not fall apart. The base, I took a wire with a piece of penoplex.
In the very last row, if you consider it necessary, you can carefully trim the paper with scissors. Then cut out the sepals and glue. Tape.
Even the most practical and universal gift - money, can be presented in such a way that everyone will gasp in surprise! We offer you a gift option that combines the beautiful romance of a bouquet and the possibilities of an envelope with banknotes. Such a gift is suitable not only for March 8, but also for birthdays, weddings, etc.
Look how different bouquets of banknotes can be. From very simple ones, where bills are simply inserted into the finished composition:
To such complex origami techniques as, for example, this dollar flower in polka dots:
Maybe this option for a money tree as a gift:
Or simpler:
But today we will make real roses from banknotes...
Let us immediately make a reservation that when twisting flowers from money, not a single banknote was damaged. The bouquet is untwisted in the reverse order, the bills are smoothed out - and... Hello, shopping!
So, we will need bills... different ones, not necessarily dollars:
By the way, such a bouquet can be made not only from real banknotes, but also from printed ones. The result will be stylization - a gift with wishes of wealth, prosperity, financial well-being.
First, let's prepare everything necessary. It is better to take brand new, even, rustling banknotes. One rose takes 4-6 bills, depending on the desired degree of flower splendor. Immediately calculate how many buds there will be in the bouquet and how many bills you will need. For 3 roses – 12-18 banknotes.
Now let's think about the base for the flower. You can use a bottle cap for this or borrow stems from artificial flowers. If you don't have either. nothing else, we do the following...
Fold a sheet of A4 paper in half, and then in half again. Cut 4 rectangles along the fold line. Roll each one tightly around a thick pencil or marker. Secure the end with tape. We got 4 parts for the base.
Now let's start making petals from banknotes. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, twist all 4 corners of the bill to create a petal curl.
By experience you will find out how steep the curl should be - the splendor of the bud depends on this.
Fold a banknote with curled edges in half with the curls facing outward. Place an elastic band for African braids or apothecary elastic at the bend.
Return to our paper blank for the flower base. Wrap a petal with an elastic band around the tube and secure it firmly to the base.
You need to do the same with the next bill. In total, when using 4 banknotes, you will get a rose of 8 petals. If it doesn’t seem like enough, do 1-2 more wraps, but don’t overdo it, the roses should remain buds.
Now let's take care of the stem. In the absence of the best option - stems from artificial flowers, we will replace them with wooden skewers - a completely universal option. The skewers can be pre-wrapped with green thread and glue to turn them green. Or just paint with acrylic paint.
Apply a little glue to the end of the skewer and wrap a piece of sponge around it. For reliability, you can also secure the sponge with thread. Now apply a little glue to the sponge itself and put the bud on it. The glue only touches the paper from the inside, while the banknotes remain undamaged.
Now we form the bouquet according to our own preference... You can additionally decorate the bouquet with artificial flowers, or form it only from money roses.
Use ours to find out how best to arrange the bouquet further.
