Making a bouquet of money

Money is a rather original gift, quite appropriate for any celebration. Anyone for whom such a present has been prepared will be able to use it himself in the future at his own discretion and at the most suitable moment for this. The essence of the gift lies in the fact that one day the original composition of money could be easily disassembled and disposed of the money used in it for its intended purpose.

You can donate a certain amount in different ways:

• put money in a large jar, comically signed (for the manager);
• to build a "money suitcase", from which bright bills accidentally crawled out (for a friend);
• create a stylishly decorated house of colored money (suitable for a wedding);
• fold figures according to the origami system from the available small bills, for example, a shirt or a dove (for a colleague);
• make a "tree" of money or build a stunning bouquet of real banknotes.

The impressions of such a presentation will be simply unforgettable, even if the donor does it not with his own hands, but with the help of an experienced master. However, even for novice artisans, it will be quite simple to create flowers from money with their own hands. Especially if you choose such a simple option for decorating a festive bouquet, which will be quite feasible even for beginners.

On thematic sites, you can find many master classes on detailed coverage of the process of creating flowers from bills of various sizes with your own hands.

Before starting work, you should prepare all the essentials:

• the money itself (about 6-10 bills per 1 medium bud);
• base for buds (caps, pieces of foam rubber can play its role);
• thin elastic bands for securing money on a bouquet basis;
• small gun with good glue, narrow transparent tape;
• sharp scissors, stationery knife;
• an ordinary sponge, long skewers;
• a foam cone of a certain size;
• decor items for the finished bouquet: beads, artificial flowers and leaves, all kinds of ribbons, organza.

The steps of step-by-step instructions for making a rose out of money with your own hands will help you do the job.

• First, twist the straight corners of the paper bill with a regular toothpick from 4 sides - this will create the curled edge of a potential flower petal. Then the bill is folded in half so that the curls look outward, and a thin elastic is put on the fold.
• The petal is neatly fixed to the foam base. The same is done with other banknotes, the finished petals must be folded so that a delicate rose bud comes out. The exact number of petals of the flower being constructed is determined "by eye".
• Skewers (if there are no suitable "stems") are neatly wrapped with tape of a not very bright green tone, or they can be painted. A piece of sponge is glued to the tips of these skewers - glue is applied to it and a finished bud is attached on top. There is a base inside any bud and only it will touch the glue, but in this case the money will remain unharmed. Thus, the required number of buds is created.
• If you have a special wire for floristry, you can use it instead of a thin elastic band, simply transferring it to the fold of the finished petal and screwing it on, while giving the bud petals the required shape. All the petals then twist into one stem, which will need to be stuck into the foam base.
• Particular attention should be paid to decorating the space between the finished flowers of the money bouquet. You can take fabrics such as organza, mesh or tulle, point to glue beads, colorful feathers or bright rhinestones to them. Outside, a festive bouquet can be wrapped in corrugated rustling paper, beautiful crepe paper or special cellophane, elegant starched fabric, we tie a satin ribbon on top.

Many more will like this bouquet, where bills are folded in a bag. This way the banknotes will not deform much, and it will be much easier to pull them out of the gift bouquet. The bill is simply folded up in the form of a bag, attached to a skewer and inserted as accurately as possible into the bouquet being decorated.

When collecting a solid bouquet of banknotes for an adult man, it is worth taking into account such points as:

• the color of the packaging material for the man's money bouquet - darker colors should be used;
• usually carnations or roses are preferred as money buds;
• experts believe that bouquets for men should be made from real banknotes.

Have not decided what exactly to give your best friend for his next birthday, then just give him with the most mysterious look a whole "suitcase with money." To do this, purchase a small-sized male-type bag or even a case, you can put several heavy bags with some inexpensive presents inside, and fill the various pockets of this bag with banknotes of various denominations so that they are sure to be visible and so that they really are really many.

There are various popular ways to secure banknotes. If, for example, you use wire, it will allow you to safely remove banknotes from the bouquet, easily straighten them and use them for your needs.

• An excellent basis for an unusual tree can be a foam ball or a special sponge. Money should be placed as evenly as possible on this ball, and if empty spaces remain between the blanks, they can be quite successfully hidden behind the decor. Wooden phrases that are popular today will look original in these compositions, especially since they can be painted in advance in those tones that are best suited to the main color scheme of the bouquet.
• With the help of good glue, a large ball with bills is attached to the trunk (an ordinary tree branch can successfully play its role). The trunk is usually luxuriously decorated and fixed firmly in the pot. To make the whole composition look and behave steadily, a special solution is added to the pot. It will be necessary to wait some time until the plaster or alabaster solution hardens well, and only after that it will be possible to start its full decoration and festive decoration.

The easiest way to build a stylish bunch of money is considered to be the option where the stems of real flowers are wrapped tightly with real banknotes.

The master class will help in creating the simplest bunch of bills, the main thing is to act according to a certain scheme.

• Take a bouquet of real flowers. The stems should be wiped dry so that the bills do not get wet. This is not so important if the bills are not genuine. But if the money is real, then it is better to first put it in a tight file and seal the gaps in it with transparent tape - this way the money in the bouquet will not suffer at all.
• You need to carefully wrap the stem of a living flower with a bill and fix the bill in a file with glue.
• For strong adhesion, ordinary PVA glue or glue stick is perfect.

You can use completely different flowers for such a bouquet - carnations, lilies, chrysanthemums, everything will depend on who exactly you decided to create this kind of present for.

There are many other variations of gifts with money - no less original than in the case of bouquets or crafts from brand new banknotes.

Banknotes are often used when creating bouquets from ordinary balloons - in this case, the banknotes will end up inside the balloons, from which the entire gift composition will be formed.

To arrange this kind of gift, you need to follow the points below.

• Take a long ball, inflate it with a hand pump to a certain size, then deflate it a little.
• Carefully tuck the tightly rolled bill into this half-deflated ball. After that, we again pump the balloon with air, tie its tip.
• We make a regular ring out of a long ball and carefully tie the 2 ends together.
• Further, the resulting "ring" will need to be bent in half and besides that, twist it 2 times right in the middle, so that 1 ring is in the hands, which consists of 2 equal "sausages".
• The resulting craft must be divided again, but already into 3 parts, and twisted in 2 places. So it turns out 3 parts.
• After these manipulations, a much-needed "accordion" is obtained from our workpiece and you need to fix it so that interesting looking petals come out of it.
• Now it's the turn of the green balloon (it should be inflated to the very end, but not very tightly), we leave a knot at the end of the balloon.
• It is necessary to step back from the edge with a knot tied about 10 cm, fold the tip of the ball in half and then twist it so that the knot is moved to the place of twisting.
• Insert this blank into the middle of the finished “petals” and twist the stem so that you get 2 leaves.

Candy-money bouquets have taken their place of honor among other creative gifts.Firstly, it is very original and causes a storm of joyful emotions, secondly, it is also tasty, and thirdly, given the availability of money, it is also very practical.

You can find a huge number of variations on how to quickly make a cute bouquet of delicious candies and a certain amount of money. Consider one of them

• First, we buy round sweets without tails, the best of all are bright ones (the most popular are products in wrappers in golden and silver tones).
• The number of flowers is calculated to the maximum - about 15-19 pieces.
• We take the roses made in advance (when you make flowers, the bud in the flower must be rolled loosely so that there is room for bright sweets).
• We carefully insert the candy into the middle of the bud of the money flower. When the flower is completely ready, it is included in the bouquet.

To give an exquisite souvenir to someone close to you, you can create a “money tree” with bills folded into an “accordion”.

To create this craft, you will need:

• a pot for a tree;
• large dowel made of wood;
• paints (acrylic);
• polystyrene ball;
• foam blocks for floristry;
• flowers or leaves for decoration;
• special pins;
• artificial moss;
• quality glue.

Let's consider in detail the whole process of creating crafts.

• It is worth starting by staining the pot of your choice, its color can be absolutely any.
• As soon as the paint dries, you need to place a block of foam for floristry inside a small clay or plastic pot, if you do not have one, use a regular sponge.
• Make a hole in the middle of the foam, it is necessary in order to insert the dowel - it will play the tree trunk. Fix it in the resulting hole with glue.
• The moss will need to be cut to the diameter of the pot itself so that it covers the foam, and glue it to it.
• While the glue dries, you can take the time to make "leaves" for the tree. You can take both fake and real crispy bills, best of all by exchanging them for $ 1.
• You can start from any edge - the bills are simply folded in the form of an even "accordion", the most important thing is not to press hard on the fold line so as not to spoil the appearance of the banknotes.
• If you want to use real money, then you should not glue it to the existing base, but it is best to choose a special pin for florists or a small piece of thin wire for this purpose. It wraps around a bill, collected in an "accordion", and is neatly attached to the ball-base.
• Spread out the top of the bill so it looks like a fan. You need to make several similar blanks, fix them on the base-ball, and gently spread them with your fingers.
• The density of the "crown" of such "accordions" will entirely depend on your financial generosity. Even if the base ball is not completely closed, this kind of tree will look dignified and attractive among other presents. If you decide to fill in the existing gaps between the banknotes, then use decorative leaves, securing them to the ball.
