If you are one of such people, and are thinking about a non-trivial gift that can not only surprise a young family, but also be very useful, then we suggest you presenting a cake from the money for a wedding with your own hands.

This gift will not only allow you to get away from the trivial process of giving money in an envelope, but will also help you make a material contribution to the formation of a new family. Money is never superfluous, especially if you donate it in a non-trivial way.

Let's consider in detail a master class on how to make a money cake for a wedding celebration. This is a simple process, even a person who is far from creativity can easily cope with it. The main thing is to clearly and step by step follow the instructions for making a wedding gift presented below.

Before you start making a monetary wedding gift, you need to take care of the material that will be required in the work.

The main emphasis, naturally, is on banknotes. They need to be prepared well in advance. The best option is to create a cake from bills of the same denomination. So the bills will not be full of different colors, and the gift itself will look beautiful and original. Be prepared for an average of 100 to 150 bills you need.It is better if they are new, whole, without traces of pollution and other blots, as this can spoil the appearance of the wedding gift, and all efforts will be in vain.

Both national and foreign currencies can act as banknotes that will decorate the wedding cake, everything will depend on the size of the budget that you are willing to spend on a gift for the newlyweds. Dollars, for example, can be exchanged for small denomination bills.

In addition to money, you will also need:

• several sheets of thick and flexible white cardboard;
• glue - the best option is PVA, it will reliably fasten the entire structure;
• paper clips - it is best to purchase a pack right away, since you will need a lot of them in the process;
• a simple pencil, ruler and compasses;
• scissors;
• a variety of ribbons, beads, artificial flowers, butterflies - they will be used to decorate the cake.

The classic model of a wedding cake is a product that consists of three tiers. If you are on a budget, then you can get by with a two-tiered wedding cake.

At the heart of such a gift should be located low cylinders made of cardboard. They should be similar in shape to a top hat. Depending on how many tiers the money cake will have, you will need to make as many cylinders. These figures must be made with the same height, but differ in diameter. Such cylinders are located one above the other: at the bottom there will be the largest figure in diameter, and at the top - the smallest one.

Consider the process of making a cake from wedding money with your own hands step by step.

At the base of the cake, there will be a cylinder with the largest diameter. To do it, you need to draw a circle with a diameter of 30 centimeters on thick cardboard. In the middle of this circle, draw a small circle with a diameter of 25 centimeters.

Carefully cut out the large circle using your clerical scissors.

It is necessary to draw a rectangle on soft cardboard: its length is 80 centimeters, and its width will be equal to the height of the bill. This rectangle will be used as the side of the cylinder. For the product to adhere well, it is necessary to retreat approximately 1.5 centimeters from each side of the rectangle. This distance will be used as seam allowances.

Cut out a rectangle. The distance that you left for the seams must be made in the form of teeth. The cut particles will make it easier to glue the collar to the base of the cylinder. The part of the rectangle that acts as a seam allowance must be bent at right angles to the side. It must be glued to the circle, placing it around the inner circle, the diameter of which is 25 centimeters. For this, the edges of the side should be smeared with glue and held for several minutes until they stick to the cardboard base. The side edges also need to be glued with an overlap, closing the vertical side into a ring.

The process of attaching banknotes to the bottom tier of a money cake is as follows:

1. you need to take one banknote and twist it into a tube not too tight, the diameter of such a product should be approximately 2.5 cm;
2. apply a tube rolled up from a banknote to the side so that its outer end leans against the cylinder and is located on the left side;
3. using a paper clip, you need to attach the top of the tube to the top of the side;
4. do the same with the next banknote, rolling the same tube out of it.

The second money tube should be located on the left side of the first, adjacent to it. It is also attached with a paper clip.

Please note that for a wedding cake made of bills to look harmonious, all bills should be rolled into tubes of the same size.

Moving slowly around the circle, you can decorate the bottom of the wedding gift with money tubes.

The manufacturing process of the second tier will follow the same pattern as the production of the first tier. All you have to do is cut a smaller circle equal to 25 centimeters ÷ using thick cardboard. In the middle of this circle, you also need to draw another small circle, the diameter of which is 20 centimeters.

In order to make a side, you need to cut out a rectangle from soft cardboard, the length of which will be 66 centimeters, and the height will correspond to the height of the banknotes. And also do not forget to step back a little space for the seam allowance.

In the same way as you made and decorated the first cylinder with money tubes, you need to make the second tier.

If you present a two-tiered cake from the money for a wedding, then you can proceed to the direct assembly of the product.

If your cake will have three tiers, then you need to make the topmost tier in the same way. Its parameters are:

• a large circle with a diameter of 20 centimeters;
• inner circle with a diameter equal to 15 centimeters;
• a rectangle that is 50 centimeters long.

When all three tiers are ready, you can proceed to the actual assembly of the wedding gift.

The bottom of the middle cylinder should be covered with glue and attached to the top of the largest cylinder. Hold it with your hands so that the tiers adhere well to each other. You need to wait a few minutes until the glue is completely dry.

The uppermost tier is attached in a similar way.

Do not rush, do everything very carefully so that the glue does not spread and splash during work. If it gets on the bills, then they will stick to the paper base, and it will be very difficult for the newlyweds to separate them. This can ruin the gift, because a young family should use the money for its intended purpose, and not just admire your gift.

When the money cake is ready, you can proceed to the final stage - decorate it beautifully, giving it a festive look.

Wrap each tier of cake with ribbons, the ends of which should be decorated with large bows. The lower part of the uppermost tier must be decorated with artificial flowers. Place them snugly against each other so that the cardboard is not visible.

On the remaining lower sections, you can place small flowers and bows made of organza. Decorative butterflies can be placed on large flowers.

To give the artificial flowers a more natural look, you can stick rhinestones on their petals, which will imitate dew drops. Do not limit your imagination and you will have a beautifully decorated money cake.

When the wedding gift is ready, it can be placed in a specially prepared decorative box or placed on a beautifully decorated tray by analogy with the usual cake.

Now you are ready to go to the wedding ceremony and surprise the newlyweds and other guests present with their extraordinary gift, as well as the skill of making a cake from the money for a wedding with their own hands.

When presenting a cake from bills, try to prepare in advance and say the appropriate congratulations. Giving a money cake, wish the newlyweds good material well-being and replenishment of the family budget. You can also not be limited in the wishes of only monetary accents. Wish the married couple happiness, health and passionate feelings that they can carry through a long happy family life.
