DIY money tree
The money tree is not only the most popular, but also the most effective talisman of wealth. In addition, it will decorate any interior. It’s quite easy to make a money tree with your own hands; you just need to stock up on the necessary materials, time and inspiration.
So, to make a money tree you will need:
First you need to twist tubes out of money.
If you use small bills for the money tree, you can make “bags” out of them and secure them with glue.
They must be the same size. If large bills are taken to make a talisman, then they can initially be cut into smaller ones.
The number of “bags” depends on the diameter of the foam ball (when making the tree in the photo, a ball with a diameter of about 7 cm and approximately 90 twisted “bags” were used).
We make a hole in the foam ball with an old pen, then secure it in it with glue.
We have a base for a tree with a trunk.
We take a skein of thread and tightly wrap the handle, in some places we secure it with glue so that it does not unravel.
We begin to glue rolled up bills onto the top of the foam ball.
You should try to place the “bags” as close to each other as possible so that there are no gaps.
After the entire ball is pasted over, we spread the alabaster.
We transfer the finished mixture into a flower pot or any unnecessary container (for the money tree in the photo a cut-off bottle of shower gel was used), place the tree trunk there, fix it in the desired position and wait for it to harden completely (you can change the steps as desired: first pour the barrel in alabaster, and then stick banknotes onto the foam ball).
After the alabaster has hardened, you can decorate the pot in which the tree will stand. Alabaster can be laid on top with sisal, half beads, or, for example, covered with coins.
If a special flower pot was used to make the money tree, you can leave everything as is. In our case, the container needs to be hidden. To do this, cut out a piece of foamiran or any other fabric and paste it over the pot.
Next, we tie it with a beautiful thread and decorate it with another bill.
The money talisman is ready! You can do it either for yourself or at present for any holiday.
