The art of feng shui teaches us: in order to become rich, you must have a money tree, because it attracts material wealth and wealth like a magnet. In souvenir shops there is a wide choice of such talismans for every taste, but if you make a money tree with your own hands and put a piece of soul into it, this will increase its effect several times. We offer you a few options for making homemade trees, which does not lose any beauty or magical abilities.
Topiary made of
coins When starting to produce a topiary made of coins( ornamental tree with a figured round crown), you should follow the rules:
- The main emphasis of the crafts is the crown, and its diameter should be larger than the pot in which the tree grows.
- The maximum size of the pot equals the width of the crown, but it is better to take a less voluminous pot so that it does not delay attention.
- The total height of the souvenir tree will be approximately three times the diameter of the crown itself.
- The barrel should be thin but steady.
- To prevent the tree from falling, the base pot must be filled with heavy filler.
One of the simplest variants of a money tree made of coins is to use as a base for the crown of a round foam ball. Some craftsmen make it from newspapers, tightly folding them and gluing, but this option is not the best, because to achieve a smooth rounded shape is very difficult. To crown turned out perfect, it is better to pick up a foam ball. Its size depends on the desire and number of coins available, but it should be borne in mind that there should be a lot of them, because the ball is fully covered.
The ball should be pre-pasted with paper towels - so it will not be slippery and the coins will stick better.
So, to make your own money tree topiary, you need to pick up small coins of the same denomination, for example, 10 rubles. They can be fastened either with a thermogun or with PVA glue( the first option is preferable, since it will ensure good adherence).To form the crown should be in the form of scales, namely:
- first glue one coin;
- on top attach two coins so that the first one is partially hidden, and they touch each other in the center of the bottom coin;
- glue the remaining coins in the same way, stacking like scales, layer by layer;
- to process pasted over crown with lacquer to increase gloss.
A small area of the ball should remain empty - the trunk will “grow” from here.
The trunk of a tree can be made from ordinary sushi sticks and then it will be flat or from a piece of thick aluminum cable, fancifully bending it. The golden effect will be given to the wooden trunk by painting, but the cable must be wrapped with tape or paper of a similar color.
It remains to collect and “plant” the money tree, namely:
- Fix the trunk in the left hole on the crown ball, using glue if necessary.
- Fill a small plastic cup or a regular cup with plaster and install wood.
- When the gypsum hardens, glue the “soil” in the glass with coins, paint it with golden paint or fill it with sparkles.
- Decorate the pot with paint or glue with beautiful lace.
If you wish, you can attach leaves or bows to the stem, and you can put a butterfly on the crown - it all depends on the master's imagination.
Elegant Money Tree with
BranchesA very delicate money tree can be made with your own hands from coins and wire: a beautiful falling crown with golden coin leaves will be the main decoration of the house. Making a talisman is easy, for this:
- Drill holes in coins and put them on a small piece of thin wire - these will be leaves on the petioles.
- Merge leaves into branches.
- From the branches to collect the tree, attaching them to the trunk of a thick flexible cable.
- Set the tree in a pot or a glass with plaster.
Coins can also be combined with beads, and the barrel to give a different shape.
Picture from coins
Not only a three-dimensional tree looks impressive, but also laid out in the form of a picture on canvas or paper. Such work can be done with children, because there is nothing difficult in how to make a money tree in a picture, no. The craft itself consists of the following:
- On the canvas, draw a contour( trunk and crown).
- Lay out the trunk of the paper napkins twisted into flagella.
- Put the crown out of the coins.
- Paint it all with golden paint.
- Paste the picture into the frame.
What does the money tree symbolize?
With a money tree is connected a lot of signs. According to Feng Shui, the main task of this talisman is to attract financial well-being and wealth to its owner, but the effect will be only if the tree is put in the right place, namely in the wealth zone. The south-eastern side of the room is responsible for this, and to enhance the effect of the money tree, a fountain is recommended nearby.
If you shake such a tree and ring the leaves with coins, in the near future we can expect material benefits. True or not - this is up to you.
With regard to the living money tree( fatty), the plant also retains its symbolism, if properly care for him. In this case, in order for the flower to affect the material state in a positive way, it is necessary to wipe the leaves regularly, preventing dust from forming on them - it will lead to the opposite effect( waste and loss of money).Drying the bush also foreshadows unplanned waste.
In order to activate the action of the money-tree, the cuckoo should be put a coin in the bottom of the pot and every year before Christmas, rinse it under running water.
Summing up, I would like to say: if there are stocks of small items in the house, including old coins, you should definitely try to make a talisman from them. A money tree made with love with your own hands will not only decorate the house, but will also be an original gift for friends and acquaintances.
