Three options for making a symbol of wealth money tree with your own hands
The art of Feng Shui teaches us: in order to become rich, it is imperative to have a money tree, because it is this tree that attracts material wealth and wealth like a magnet. In souvenir shops there is a wide selection of such talismans for every taste, but if you make a money tree with your own hands and put a piece of your soul into it, this will strengthen its effect several times. We bring to your attention several options for making a homemade tree, which does not lose either its beauty or magical abilities from this.
Topiary of coins
- The main focus crafts - this is a crown, and its diameter should be larger than the pot in which the tree grows.
- The maximum size of the pot is equal to the width of the crown, but it is better to take a less voluminous pot so that it does not draw attention to itself.
- The total height of the souvenir tree will be approximately three diameters of the crown itself.
- The trunk should be thin but firm.
- To prevent the tree from falling, the base pot must be filled with heavy filler.
One of the simplest coin money tree options is to use a round foam ball as the base for the crown. Some craftsmen make it from newspapers, folding them tightly and gluing them together, but this option is not the best, since it is very difficult to achieve an even rounded shape. To make the crown perfect, it is better to choose a foam ball. Its size depends on the desire and the number of coins available, but it should be borne in mind that there should be a lot of them, because the ball is completely covered.
The ball should be previously pasted over with paper napkins - this way it will not be slippery and the coins will stick better.
So, in order to make a topiary money tree with your own hands, you need to pick up small coins of the same denomination, for example, 10 rubles. They can be fastened either with a thermal gun or with PVA glue (the first option is preferable, since it will provide good adhesion). The crown should be formed in the form of scales, namely:
- glue one coin first;
- put two coins on top in such a way that the first is partially hidden, and they touch each other in the center of the lower coin;
- glue the rest of the coins in the same way, laying them like scales, layer by layer;
- process the pasted crown with varnish to enhance shine.
A small section of the ball should remain empty - the barrel will "grow" from here.
The trunk of a tree can be made from an ordinary sushi stick and then it will be even or from a piece of thick aluminum cable, bizarrely bending it. Painting will give a golden effect to the wooden trunk, while 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 barrel in the left hole on the ball-crown, using glue if necessary.
- Fill a small plastic glass or an ordinary cup with plaster and set the tree.
- When the gypsum hardens, glue the "soil" in the glass with coins, paint with golden paint or cover with sparkles.
- Decorate the pot with paint or glue it over with beautiful lace.
If desired, you can attach leaves or bows to the stem, and plant a butterfly on the crown - it all depends on the imagination of the master.
Graceful money tree with branches
You can make a very delicate money tree with your own hands from coins and wire: a beautiful falling crown with golden leaves-coins will be the main decoration of the house. Making a talisman is not difficult, for this:
- Drill holes in the coins and put each one on a small piece of thin wire - these will be leaves on the stalks.
- Connect the leaves into branches.
- Collect a tree from the branches, attaching them to the trunk from a thick flexible cable.
- Set the tree in a pot or glass with plaster.
Coins can also be combined with beads, and the barrel can be shaped differently.
Picture of coins
Not only a three-dimensional tree looks spectacular, 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 complicated in how to make a money tree in a picture. The craft itself is as follows:
- Draw an outline on the canvas (trunk and crown).
- Lay out the trunk from paper napkins twisted into flagella.
- Put the crown out of the coins.
- Paint everything with golden paint.
- Insert the picture into the frame.
What does the money tree symbolize?
There are many signs associated with the money tree. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the main task of this talisman is to attract financial well-being and wealth to its owner, but the effect will only be if the tree is put in the right place, namely in the zone of wealth. The south-eastern side of the room is responsible for this, and to enhance the effect of the money tree, it is recommended to install a fountain nearby.
Chinese experts in Feng Shui assure that decorative talisman trees should have 10 branches on which exactly 100 coins are located - this combination has the maximum magical effect.
If you shake such a tree and jingle with coin-leaves, you should expect material benefits soon. Whether it is true or not is up to you to decide.
As for the living money tree (bastard), the plant also retains its symbolism, if properly cared for. In this case, in order for the flower to affect the material condition in a positive way, it is necessary to regularly wipe the leaves, preventing the formation of dust on them - it will lead to the opposite effect (spending and loss of money). The drying out of the bush also portends an unplanned waste.
To activate the action of the fat money tree, put a coin on the bottom of the flowerpot and rinse it under running water every year before Christmas.
Summing up, I want to say: if there are supplies of small things in the house, including old coins, you should definitely try to make a talisman out of them. A money tree made with love with your own hands will not only decorate the house, but also become an original gift for friends and acquaintances.
