So that next time you can not only pleasantly surprise your friends and loved ones with the originality of the gift, but also once again show your love and respect for your family, because a gift made with your own hands is worth a lot. The easiest way to give money is a handmade money bouquet.

Bouquet of money: gift ideas

The most beautiful thing in a person’s life is the opportunity to give joy and happiness to one’s family and friends. The fact that the best gift is a gift for no reason is a fact long recognized by everyone.

And despite this, most often we spoil our loved ones during the holidays. Gift selection- this is always a vain and pleasant process, but what to do in cases where you don’t know a person’s preferences, don’t know how you can surprise and please him?

Of course, the easiest way out of the situation is to donate money so that the person himself buys the thing that he really likes. If you want to not only give a gift, but also surprise a person, do bouquet of banknotes.

The technique for making such a gift is quite simple and this fact will definitely play into your hands. If you decide to give a gift in such an extraordinary way, you will never go wrong. And the person for whom this gift is intended, and all the other guests, will certainly remember you as a talented needleworker.

On almost any occasion, in addition to the main gift, it is customary to give flowers. No one would even think of disputing the fact that receiving a bouquet is incredibly pleasant.

Lilies, roses, and many other flowers that we usually give will certainly appeal to most people, but have you ever thought that you can make an interesting and at the same time beautiful bouquet from banknotes? There are many ideas for such a bouquet, it all depends on your preferences and imagination.

Bouquets made from banknotes can be exactly the same as those made from fresh flowers:

• small
• big
• in the form of roses
• lilies
• daisies

It’s also worth saying that you can make compositions by combining fresh and paper flowers, and if you wish, it’s not difficult to even make wonderful money trees from banknotes.

How to make the simplest bouquet using money?

There is nothing difficult in making such a monetary gift, and, nevertheless, people who first decided to try to make such a miracle may encounter certain difficulties. It is worth remembering that everything comes with experience, which is why all difficulties will disappear if you show a little patience and perseverance.

The simplest way to make a money bouquet is to wrap the stems of fresh flowers in banknotes. At first glance, such a gift may seem completely uninteresting and unoriginal, but this opinion is wrong, and as soon as you make such a gift yourself, be sure to be convinced of this.

So, to make a simple bouquet of banknotes using this technique, you need the following:

• Take a pre-prepared bouquet of fresh flowers. Be sure to wipe their stems dry, since if they are damp or wet, the bills will simply get wet.
• We carefully wrap the flower stem with a non-crumpled bill and fix it with glue.

IMPORTANT: It is worth paying attention that with this method of decorating bouquets it is recommended to use souvenir bills.

For gluing in this case, both PVA glue and a glue stick are suitable, but when using PVA, be very careful - apply it only to the edge of the bill and in a very small layer.

If with the previous type of bouquet everything was more than simple and clear, then for the next one we will need to put in a little more effort and patience.

Bouquet of flowers made from paper money

Roses are perhaps one of the most beautiful and luxurious flowers, which is why it is not surprising that they are also in great demand in the technique of making bouquets from paper and banknotes.
To make one rose we will need:

• 6-8 bills, depending on how lush the rose you want to get.
• PVA glue
• wire 0.5 mm, as well as 1.5 mm
• scissors

So, let's begin:

• Before you start collecting the flower itself, you need to prepare the petals and stem. For the petals, the banknote needs to be bent in the middle and fastened with a thin wire, leaving its tails (we need them to fasten the leaves of our rose together).
• For the stem, we also use wire (1.5 cm) in the middle to fasten the bent banknote, but immediately twist its tails to the end.
• Do everything very carefully, because wire can very easily damage the bill.
• All ends of the banknote need to be twisted. You can do this either with your hands or with a toothpick, simply twisting money onto it.
• Now let's start assembling the flower. Take two petals and place them one on top of the other, and on the other side twist the ends of the wire together (you don’t need to twist them all the way - leave room for the rest of the petals)
• From these two petals fastened together you need to form a flower bud.
• If the bud does not want to keep its shape, you can fasten the petals together with PVA glue (you need to fasten them in several places).

• We continue to attach all the remaining petals using the same technique, forming the flower itself (twisting their ends of the wire together).
• We attach our stem last, and screw all the remnants of the previous wire to it
  Now let's decorate our stem.
• To do this, take a banknote and cut it into small strips (1-1.5 cm). We completely coat the stem with glue and wrap it with prepared strips.
• If desired, we attach the finished textile sepals
  Our rose is ready, but to make a whole bouquet you need to make the number of flowers you need and form a bouquet, while you can use the skills of forming bouquets of fresh flowers.

The easiest way to arrange a bouquet is as follows:

• We tie the stems of all roses with thread so that they do not fall apart.
• We take corrugated paper and make a “wrapper” out of it for our bouquet (we wrap it tightly enough so that it holds its shape), fasten the edges of the paper with glue.
• We tie our bouquet with satin ribbons and tie a bow.

Making a bouquet is quite an interesting process, don’t forget: in order for everything to turn out original and beautiful, you don’t have to follow the instructions step by step, you just need to follow them, adding something of your own.
Using the technique given above as a basis and showing your imagination, you can easily make many other flowers, such as daisies and calla lilies.

Such bouquets can be both excellent gifts for any holiday and a completely appropriate piece of furniture.
As mentioned earlier, flower bouquets made from money are a wonderful gift for absolutely any occasion: be it a birthday, anniversary, Women’s Day or wedding.

Bouquets of banknotes for birthdays, weddings, New Years

Here, in order not to mislead you, it would be appropriate to say that money bouquets for all these holidays are made using the same technology, but the design of these bouquets in this case plays an important and, perhaps, the main role.

It is absolutely clear that the design of a bouquet for the New Year will differ from the bouquet for a wedding. A wonderful birthday gift can be a bouquet of roses made from money, the manufacturing technique of which we discussed earlier.

You can add that you can buy multi-colored souvenir bills to make flowers for such a holiday. And depending on whether you want to give such a gift to a man or a woman, choose one or another color of banknotes.

For women, it is considered more appropriate to use warm and gentle tones, and for men, on the contrary, although this is all purely a matter of each person’s taste.

If you are planning to give such a gift to someone for their wedding, we recommend experimenting. A bouquet of fresh roses and chrysanthemums made from real banknotes will look quite beautiful and unique.

In order to make one chrysanthemum we will need the following:

• three bills
• thin wire
• decorations for decorating a bouquet (again we remember our imagination)

Chrysanthemum leaves are made as follows:

• We take a banknote, bend the lower and upper left, as well as the lower and upper right edges upward so that 4 triangles are formed (we get a piece of money with the edges of the bill itself bent upward in the form of triangles).
• Next, we bend the lower and upper edges of the bill up to half the banknote.
• Then we bend the resulting money in half along its entire length.

When we have three such blanks on hand:

• we combine them together, adding them one by one
• secure with wire in the middle
• straighten the leaves
• the stem is made from twisted wire

We attach the stem under the bottom of the flower to the wire that holds the chrysanthemum itself. Our product is ready, then we either collect a separate bouquet of chrysanthemums, or combine fresh roses and our money flowers.

Much less often, but still there are bouquets for the New Year. Here you can leave a wish regarding the paper that will be used to wrap our bouquet. A paper “wrapper” with a New Year’s theme looks very interesting. If desired, the outside of our packaging can be decorated with decorative snowflakes and beads.

Many people have a question about the appropriateness of such a gift as a money bouquet for a man.

Bouquets of banknotes for men

Here I would like to make a small clarification that bouquets for men are, in principle, no different from bouquets for women. If you still have a different opinion and think that there are differences and they are significant, we recommend that you pay attention to several possible differences.

When making a bouquet of banknotes for a man, the following points are most often taken into account:

• color of paper for wrapping bouquets, flowers (use darker shades)
• as a rule, preference is given to roses
• some believe that flowers for men are better made from real banknotes

As you can see, there are no significant differences; it all depends on what your idea is and how exactly you want to implement it.
An even more original gift can be considered a present that combines something pleasant, useful and tasty.

Bouquet of paper money and sweets

Candy bouquets have taken pride of place among original gifts, and this is understandable, because when presenting such a gift, “you kill two birds with one stone.” Firstly, it is original and unusual, secondly, it is tasty, and due to the fact that the sweetness is wrapped in money, it is also practical.

Anyone who wants to will find a countless number of options on how to make a bouquet of sweets and money, but today we will take the simplest route. To simplify your task, first let’s remember our money bouquet of roses.

To make a bouquet of paper money and sweets, do the following:

• First, we buy round candies that are wrapped without tails, preferably bright ones (the most popular ones are in golden and silver wrappers).
• We increase the number of flowers to the maximum (15-21 pieces).
• We take pre-prepared roses (when we make roses, in order to then place candy in the middle, we roll the flower bud not very tightly and not narrowly, that is, we leave room for sweetness).
• We take glue, and carefully spread the candy, insert it into the bud of our flower. It is advisable to hold the sweetness in this position for a little while so that the glue sets.

Our flower is ready, then we do the same with the rest of the preparations, and then we form a bouquet. Please note that with this method of assembling a flower, namely, if you use glue to secure the candy, it is recommended to use souvenir bills. Well, a bouquet of balloons is very unique and unusual.

How to make a bouquet of balloons with money?

In order to make such a present we need the following:

• Take a long balloon of any color you like and inflate it using a hand pump, then deflate it.
• We put the tightly rolled bill into our uninflated balloon. Then, with the banknote inside, we inflate the balloon with air, while leaving its tip uninflated by about five centimeters. We tie the ball.
• We make a ring out of the inflated balloon and tie the two ends together.
• Next, our ring needs to be bent in half and twisted twice in the middle so that we get one ring consisting of two “sausages” of the same size.

• We divide what we got again, but now into three parts, and twist it in two places. This gives us three separate parts.
• Then we make an “accordion” from the blank and fix it so that petals are formed. Having done this, our flower is almost ready.
• Inflate a green long ball (inflate it all the way, but not too tightly), make a knot at the tip of the ball
• We step back from the edge with the knot about 10 cm, fold the tip in half and twist it so that the knot moves to the place of twisting.
• We insert what we have into the middle of the petals and finally twist the stem so that we get two leaves.

Having made several of these flowers, we form our bouquet.
Finally, it must be said that such a wonderful gift as a money bouquet is, of course, very cool, but not only the gift is important, but also the words with which it is given.

Video: How to give money in an original way?

Hello. I’ll show you this rose as I made it. The Internet shows a slightly different method; it was secured using rubber bands for money. But I didn’t do that, because with an awkward movement or tension, the bills in the fold could tear.... And we need to preserve the integrity of each piece of money at all costs.

It took me seven bills for each rose... I folded the edges of six bills like this: one edge in one direction, the other edge in the other. And the one that will be attached first has all 4 corners bent in one direction. So, after a long time of folding, I started wrapping each piece of money in a circle with paper...

Actually, this is what should happen.... The bill needs to be folded in half, slightly offset.

And we start gluing it with hot glue, pressing it tightly. And we carefully watch that the glue does not drip onto the money. This method is good because the bills fit tightly together and do not fall apart. The base, I took a wire with a piece of penoplex.

In the very last row, if you consider it necessary, you can carefully trim the paper with scissors. Then cut out the sepals and glue. Tape.

Not everyone knows how to give money in an unusual way. In the presented master classes you will find a detailed description and step-by-step photos of making money trees, rain; learn how to make a rose with your own hands from banknotes.

The content of the article:

As you know, the best gift is money. The person to whom they are given will be able to use the banknotes at his own discretion and buy what he wants. But how to give them? If you simply put it in an envelope, the gift will not make the right impression. And if you make flowers out of banknotes, make a real money shower, or present a tree with dollars instead of leaves, such a gift will be remembered for a long time.

Original wedding gift

Many people give money to newlyweds, and rightly so. It is better to present banknotes than some household item that the newlyweds do not need at all. To make the wedding, including the part where gifts are presented, unforgettable, it is better to present an original gift.

Let it rain money on the young. To do this, you will need:

• new umbrella;
• paper clips;
• thin satin ribbon;
• money.

It is better to buy a large umbrella so that the newlyweds can fit under it. To give money for a wedding in an original way, change the bills into smaller ones so that there are several of them. Attach a paper clip to each one. Cut the ribbons into short strips, tie one end with a paper clip and the other with an umbrella spoke. Fold it.

When the time comes to present your gift of money, go up to the newlyweds, open an umbrella over them and wish that such money rains would fall over them, and wealth would literally fall from heaven.

This would be a perfect gift for an anniversary or birthday. If you don't know what to present to your boss for an event, you can use this option or consider others.

What to give to the boss

If you are thinking about this question, then again take advantage of the win-win option. The main thing is to present the banknotes in an unusual and original way. If your boss has a sense of humor, he will certainly appreciate your impulse.

For the first idea, you will need a cute glass jar with a nice lid. Exchange money for bills of various denominations. If you want to present your boss with domestic money, which is popularly called “cabbage,” then fold the banknotes and put them in a jar. The inscription “cauliflower” will not go unnoticed.

If you intend to give your manager dollars, then also put them in a transparent container and write that these are “dried greens.” You can also give “canned cabbage”. Give a present with the words that a new bank account has been opened for the boss.

A gift for the boss may be a little different. For this you will need a head of real cabbage. Carefully cut it out, leaving only a few outer leaves. Put money inside.

A gift for your boss for his birthday or dedicated to another event may be a little different. In this case, the cabbage is made from corrugated paper. Green sheets are used to cover a round shape, such as a ball. It can be created from newspapers, crumpled up and tied with a rope. Then round blanks are cut out of green corrugated paper, slightly tapering towards one edge. With this part, glue them to the base, and make the top wavy.

When the glue dries, place bills between the leaves.

How to make a present for a friend

If you don’t know what to give a good friend for his birthday, give him a suitcase of money and something else, supposedly from the mafia. To do this, buy a small man's bag, put a few bags of flour inside, and fill the pockets of the bag with small denominations of money so that there is more of it. Open the zipper on the bag a little and let the banknotes peek out.

To prevent flour from spilling, use 2 or 3 bags for one package of “white powder” and check their integrity first. To do this, inflate the bag, pinch the hole with your finger and see if any air comes out.

Here's another gift you can give a man. A shirt made from a banknote will also be an unforgettable and original gift.

If something remains unclear to you, then watch the video at the end of the article, it clearly shows how a shirt and tie are made from money. If you are not yet strong in origami, then it is better to first practice on a sheet of paper, cutting out a rectangle from it the size of a banknote.

Tree of banknotes

Such a symbol of wealth will certainly bring good luck. There are several ways to make a money tree with your own hands. The ones presented are some of the easiest.

For this craft, it is better to use souvenir money printed on a color printer or purchased, since it needs to be glued to the base.

To work you will need:

• paper bills;
• small plastic ball;
• glue gun;
• wooden stick 25 cm high;
• low flower pot;
• awl;
• varnish or spray paint:
• building gypsum.

Pierce the ball with an awl. Coat the tip of the stick with glue from a gun and insert it into the puncture of the ball.

A wooden stick can be decorated in several ways: wrap string around it and then coat it with varnish or spray paint. Or do not use thread, but immediately paint the stick and let it dry.

While this is happening, you will have time to make money preparations. To make the tree of banknotes lush, you will need a lot of them - about 150 pieces.

Fold the first piece of money in half crosswise, fold the edge back by 7 mm.

Roll the other side of the dollar or banknote into a little bag. Apply glue to the free edge and secure the resulting figure.

We begin to assemble the money tree with our own hands, or by calling an assistant. Cover the ball with bags. Lubricate the sharp corner of the first workpiece with a solution from a glue gun, and glue the workpiece to the ball from below.

In order for the tree to have a beautiful round crown, the bottom row of bags can be glued simultaneously to the ball and to the trunk, smearing with glue not only the corner, but also the side of the banknote.

Then, using the same technique, but applying glue only to the corner of the blanks, decorate the second lower tier. Gradually moving towards the center, fill the ball with banknotes. They need to be secured close to each other. You can alternate domestic and foreign banknotes.

Dilute plaster with water in a 1:1 ratio. Pour the solution into a pot, place the base of the money tree in it, do not let go of it immediately, wait until the solution sets. At this time, you can place colored twigs in plaster next to the trunk for decoration.

Then let the solution harden completely and decorate its surface with coins or pieces of burlap, attaching them with a glue gun. Now the fabric under the tree (if you used it) needs to be coated with spray paint. You can put decorative stones on the surface of the plaster.

The time has come to admire the finished work, and you can give the symbol of wealth to the person for whom it was intended.

Wealth symbol - another idea

To make such an exquisite souvenir or money tree for yourself that will attract wealth, take:

• flower pot;
• large wooden dowel;
• acrylic paints;
• polystyrene ball;
• floral foam blocks;
• decorative flowers or leaves;
• floral pins;
• natural or artificial moss;
• glue.

We start by painting the flower pot; the color can be any.

When the paint is dry, place a large block of floral foam inside the pot and small blocks around the edges. If you don't have such material, replace it with regular sponges.

In the middle, make a hole for a dowel, which we will use as a tree trunk. Pour some glue into the hole.

Cut the moss to the diameter of the pot, making a small circle in the middle, into which insert an impromptu tree trunk made from dollars. Insert its lower end into the hole in the sponge and secure it in this position.

Let's let the glue dry, but for now we'll make “leaves” for it from fake dollars. You can also use real bills, exchanging, for example, $1.

Starting from the small edge, fold the bill into an accordion shape.

If you are using real money, then do not attach it with glue, but use a floral pin or a piece of wire for this purpose. We wrap these items around the dollar and attach it to the base ball as shown in the photographs.

Straighten the top edge of the piece so that it looks like a fan. Make several of these blanks, attach them to the ball, distributing them evenly.

The density of the crown depends on your financial capabilities and the denomination of banknotes. Even if the ball is not completely closed, such a money tree looks very attractive and has value.

If you still want to fill in the gaps between the bills, then take a decorative leaf, cut some of the wire so that it is flush with the bills, and attach the sheet to the ball.

If you gave a gift for a wedding or anniversary, you can write the name or names of those for whom such a wonderful gift is intended, and decorate it with ribbons, a bow or small decorative flowers.

In conclusion, we present to your attention a craft that can be created quite quickly. If you don’t have much time, but want to present money in an original and beautiful way, then make roses out of them. A similar bouquet can be presented to anyone - both a woman and a man. These flowers will never wither, and any day the petals can be turned into banknotes again and bought something you need.

To make a bouquet of money look beautiful, take new, crisp banknotes that have not been in circulation much.

In addition to them, you will need:

• cork or foam blanks or A4 sheet;
• toothpicks;
• artificial flowers with lush leaves or wooden skewers;
• thin rubber bands.

The presented work will be performed in two versions. Then, if you don’t have some material, you will see what you can replace it with.

For the base of the flower you need a cork like this, with steps cut out. If you don’t have these, then fold the larger side of the A4 sheet by 6 cm, cut off this strip of paper, roll it onto a marker or thick pencil and secure the edges with tape so that the part does not unwind.

See how to make flowers from banknotes. Take a toothpick and use it to twist all 4 corners of the money so that a petal curl is formed.

Now fold the bill in half so that the curls are facing out. Place an elastic band over the fold.

Wrap the petal with the rubber band around the paper blank and secure the petal to the base by twisting the rubber band around it several times.

Now attach the next bill in the same way. When using 5 bills you will have a rose of 10 petals. If you want to make it more magnificent, add a blank from another banknote, let it become 12 petals.

Having made several buds, proceed to the next stage of making a rose from money.

You can put a piece of sponge inside the paper tube on which we formed the flower and pierce it with the end of a wooden skewer, which is coated with glue. Then you will get flowers like this.

If you have artificial flowers, then remove the buds from them, and secure money roses in the sepals.

Now you can present roses, made with your own hands, to the person for whom they were intended, and in such an interesting way to give money.

The video will help you understand some of the subtleties of the fascinating process and give you another idea:

If you don’t know what to give your friends for a birthday or holiday, but you don’t have time to buy a gift, you want it to be unusual. You can make a bouquet of roses from banknotes with your own hands, this is a rather interesting way to give money to the birthday boy and will surely surprise him with this money bouquet.

In order to make roses from money we will need:

• Paper bills (you choose what their denomination will be);
• Wire (Preferably if it is in green insulation);
• Rubber bands for money;
• Floral tape;
• Stems with leaves from any suitable tree, you can take from roses.

How to make a bouquet of roses from banknotes, step-by-step instructions:

For each rose we will need 4 banknotes, and it’s up to you to decide how many such cash roses there will be. First, let's bend 4 edges of each bill using the twisting method.

To form a rosebud, you need to squeeze each of the 4 bills carefully in the middle and twist them with wire, bending 2 edges of each bill in the other direction from the wire, and the twisted corners of the bills were on the outside of the bud.

Now we form the rose itself, for this we take two of the four bills with wires and put one into one, so that the petals are rotated 90 degrees from each other. Now we twist their wires together. We straighten the petals and bend them where necessary so that they look more like real roses.

Thus, we insert the remaining two bills with wires screwed to them. And again we weave all the wires together making a stem out of them. So we made one rose from banknotes, so we make several more roses.

We weave all the roses from money (we got 3 of them) together.

We take twigs with leaves and twist them with the remaining wire with money roses or tie them with an elastic band.

That's it, a bouquet of roses made from banknotes made by yourself is ready, you can also wrap the stem with additional floral tape to hide the wire.

The statement that giving gifts is much more pleasant than receiving them has long been tested by many from their own experience. And, of course, the main reasons for giving gifts were and remain holidays. Choosing a gift is often a rather troublesome process - after all, you want to not only surprise and delight, but also present a truly useful thing. One of the options for an original and valuable gift could be a bouquet of money.

Handmade gifts are a separate independent category of gifts that have special value, because the author put a piece of his soul into them when creating them. Money, in itself, is, of course, a good present, but presenting it in an envelope has recently become too banal. Therefore, creative people came up with interesting ways to play with such a gift.

You can donate money in different ways:

• put them in an original decorated jar with comic signatures;
• make a “money suitcase”, from the pockets of which bills seem to be deliberately sticking out;
• create a house from banknotes (such a gift is popular for weddings);
• fold various figures from banknotes, for example, an origami-style shirt;
• make a tree or make a bouquet out of money.

Relevance of the gift

Money, like flowers, is a gift appropriate for any holiday. The person to whom the gift is intended will be able to dispose of it at his own discretion and at the right time. The impression from such a gift will be unforgettable, even if the giver did not make it himself, but ordered it. Although even for beginners, creating flowers from money with your own hands is not so difficult. Especially if you choose a bouquet option that will be quite feasible for a beginner. The point is that the finished composition can then be carefully transformed into banknotes and used for their intended purpose.

Bouquets of banknotes

Like bouquets of fresh flowers, compositions of banknotes can be quite varied. They may differ in size, number of colors and their type. After all, with money you can create a lot of different flower options - daisies, callas, roses, lilies. It is noteworthy that you can combine flowers made from money with fresh flowers in one bouquet, or even take fresh flowers as a basis and wrap them in money at the base of the bud. In the same way, you can use candy instead of fresh flowers.

To create flowers you only need new money, “crispy”, not yet having folds. Large bills must be exchanged in advance for the appropriate number of smaller ones, according to the number of colors. Or you can make flowers from money with your own hands according to step-by-step instructions, but replace real bills with souvenir ones.

Firstly, it is easier for a beginner to work with such “money”, because it is convenient to practice with it and it is not a pity to throw it away if the flower is not successful, you can glue it and form flowers from it without using additional devices. And secondly, they can be printed in any quantity and they will be smooth and without folds.

True, a gift made from souvenir money will only carry an aesthetic load. Having produced the desired effect and served for some time as an original interior detail, it will simply be thrown into a landfill, while a craft made from real money will never receive such a fate.

Making a bouquet

At the moment, the Internet is replete with master classes on flowers made from banknotes with your own hands. But, having chosen the most suitable one, you should first practice. Especially if the bouquet is planned to be created from real money. Before starting work, we prepare everything you need, namely:

• paper bills, at the rate of 6 to 10 banknotes per flower;
• bases for flowers (they can be bottle caps, stems of artificial flowers, tubes from A4 sheet);
• elastic bands for money according to the number of colors;
• glue gun and tape;
• scissors;
• sponge, wooden skewers;
• foam cone;
• decor for the bouquet: organza, beads, artificial leaves and flowers, satin ribbons.

Bud formation

Let's look at how to make a rose out of money with your own hands, following step-by-step instructions. To begin with, we twist the corners of the banknote from four sides. with a skewer or toothpick, curling the edge of the future petal. We bend the bill in half so that the curls look outward, and put an elastic band in place of the fold. We attach the petal with an elastic band to the base and place it in its final position. We do the same with the next banknote, and continue this until we get a rosebud. We determine the optimal number of petals “by eye” so that the rose is not too lush for a bud.

We wrap wooden skewers (if there are no stems for artificial flowers) with green tape or paint them. We glue a piece of sponge onto the tip of the skewer, onto which we also apply glue and put a bud on top. Since there is a base inside the flower, it will be the base that touches the sponge with glue, and the money will remain intact. The flower is ready, you can proceed to the next one, thus reaching the quantity required for the bouquet.

It’s even easier if you have floral wire - you can use it instead of an elastic band, placing it on the fold of each petal and twisting it, at the same time giving the petal the desired shape. The wires of each petal are then twisted into a single stem, which is convenient to stick into the foam base of the bouquet.

We arrange a bouquet

Candies can be “hidden” inside the buds, and artificial flowers and leaves will look good between the flowers themselves. We stick flowers on skewers into a foam cone so as to give the bouquet the intended shape. We decorate the space between the flowers - you can use fabrics for bouquets - organza, decorative mesh or tulle. Glue beads, feathers or rhinestones. We wrap the outside of the bouquet with corrugated paper or bouquet fabric and tie a ribbon. You can wrap the bouquet in several layers of crepe paper of different widths.

Some masters advise doing otherwise if you do not have a foam base for a bouquet - you should simply tie the stems of the flowers tightly together and wrap them in corrugated paper.

For flowers, you can take banknotes of different denominations so that the bouquet does not turn out boring due to the monotony of the color scheme. And, of course, even before starting work, you need to select materials so that they look harmonious in color in a single composition.

For money bouquets, craftsmen take banknotes not only of different denominations, but also of different countries - the more valuable and interesting the gift will be.

Tree as a type of bouquet

A money tree is a gift no worse than a bouquet. It will not be difficult for someone who has learned to make flowers from money to make such a composition out of them. Banknotes for a tree can be rolled up in other ways, for example, in the form of a bag. True, this method is not the best due to the fact that the bills have to be glued together and, in addition, glue must be applied to secure them to the base. Therefore, it will no longer be possible to disassemble such a gift and use the money for its intended purpose.

But there are other ways of attaching banknotes, for example, on a wire, which then allows you to remove the banknotes from the bouquet and straighten them. The basis for the tree can be a foam ball or floral sponge. The money blanks need to be evenly distributed over the ball, and if there are empty spaces between them, they can be decorated. Wooden inscriptions look interesting in such compositions; they can be pre-painted in colors that match the overall color scheme of the bouquet.

Using glue, the ball is fixed to the trunk, which can be made from a sushi stick or a fairly straight tree branch. The trunk is decorated and placed in a pot, where they are poured with a solution of plaster or alabaster, diluted to the consistency of liquid sour cream. You will have to wait until the solution hardens, and only then you can start decorating it and arranging the stand.

Money is also used when decorating bouquets of balloons - where banknotes are inside the balloons, from which the entire composition is formed.

There are also many other ways to create flowers from banknotes and combine them into a cute composition in accordance with the theme of the holiday for which the gift is being prepared.
