Guys, you correctly guessed all the riddles. I think that all of you are interested in learning about how money appeared?
The first money was not at all like the ones we are used to. Bird feathers, grain, salt, skulls, cocoa - beans, shovels, sheep, cows and much more were used as money. All this money was called goods - money. On occasion, they were exchanged for other goods.
Gradually, over the centuries, they gave way to more convenient money, such as kauri seashells. After all, they were more convenient than skins or grain: they did not deteriorate and did not lose their appearance, they could be strung on a string - that's a wallet for storage.
As you can see, people tried a lot of "money" until they came to metal money. These were metal bars, rings, shovels, hatchets and even bronze discs in the form of animal skins. They were made from silver, gold and copper.
Well, how did the ingots turn into coins?

The first round coins appeared in the 7th century BC, in Libya. Busy trade routes passed through this state in Ancient Greece and countries of the East. Heavy ingots were a hindrance in trade deals. The Libyans guessed to mint coins from a natural alloy of gold and silver. They flattened them, and then applied the sign of the city to them. This is how the first metal coins appeared.

In China there is ancient legend about a tree growing in the garden with gold coins. It is enough to shake the branches of the tree, and the money falls to the ground like raindrops. According to the Chinese teachings of feng shui, a money tree installed in the house attracts wealth and increases income. And in order to test the effect of such a talisman, I suggest you guys make a money tree with me. So,
let's get to work.

Working process.
1. Making flowers from banknotes.
We will need banknotes in denominations of 1 thousand rubles and 5 thousand rubles.
First, we will learn how to make a beautiful flower. We fold the paper bill with an accordion along the entire length. The width of one bend is 1 cm.

We tie the accordion in the center with a thread, straighten the resulting disk, glue the edges of the disk.

Here we have such beautiful flowers.

Now cut the bill in half. We fold diagonally to get a square with equal sides, cut off the excess. Fold diagonally, we get a triangle.

1. Raise the corners of the base of the resulting triangle to the top, bend.
2. We iron the folds well, straighten the triangles in height, bend the corners down.
3. We bend the triangles inward along the already marked folds.
4. We turn the corners.
5. It turns out such a module that needs to be glued along the inside.
6. One flower needs 5 modules.

Here's how many flowers we got.

Now, to make leaflets, cut the bill in half, glue two neighboring sides. We will get a bag, we will fold some of the bills with a tube, we will tie it with twine.

2. Preparation of the crown, trunk, installation of the tree.
Styrofoam balls wrap with napkins, tie with threads.

We glue adhesive tape on the walls of the pot, we begin to wind the twine.

Dilute alabaster with water to get the consistency of thick sour cream.

Pour the resulting mixture into a pot, insert the wire, holding it until the mass hardens. Next, wrap the wire with twine.

3. Decorating the crown.
Now the fun begins creative work- start decorating our tree beautiful flowers from paper bills.
First, on a ball of larger diameter, using a thermal gun, we glue the first row of money discs in a circle, then the second row.

Between the disks we glue bills folded into a tube and tied with twine.

We begin to decorate a smaller ball with flowers.

Glue coins on money disks and flowers.
Decorate the surface of the pot with coins, glue beautiful butterfly.

The money tree is not only the most popular, but also the most effective talisman of wealth. In addition, it will decorate any interior. Making a money tree with your own hands is quite simple, just stock up the right materials, time and inspiration.
So, to make a money tree you will need:

• counterfeit banknotes of any denomination;
• foam ball of the desired diameter;
• an old unnecessary pen or chopstick for Chinese food;
• threads;
• alabaster;
• a small flower pot or any unnecessary container;
• glue or hot glue gun;
• foamiran or any fabric;
• sisal, half beads or coins
• decorative ribbon or any beautiful lace.

First you need to twist the tubes out of the money.

If small bills are used for the money tree, then “bags” can be made from them and fixed with glue.

They must be the same size. If large bills are taken to make a talisman, then they can initially be cut into smaller ones.

The number of “bags” depends on the diameter of the foam ball (in the manufacture of the tree in the photo, a ball with a diameter of about 7 cm and about 90 twisted “bags” was used).

We make a hole in the foam ball with an old pen, then we fix it in it with glue.

We have a base for a tree with a trunk.

We take a skein of thread and tightly wrap the handle, in some places we fix it with glue so that it does not unwind.

On top of the foam ball, we begin to stick twisted bills.

You need to try to apply the "bags" as close to each other as possible so that there are no gaps.

After the entire ball is pasted over, we breed alabaster.

We transfer the finished mixture into a flower pot or any unnecessary container (a cropped bottle of shower gel was used for the money tree in the photo), place the tree trunk there, fix it in the desired position and wait for it to solidify completely (you can change the actions at will: first pour barrel into alabaster, and then stick bills on the foam ball).

After the alabaster has hardened, you can decorate the pot in which the tree will stand. Alabaster on top can be laid with sisal, half beads, or, for example, covered with coins.

Topiary from paper money actually represents the tree of happiness. It is a common occurrence in European floristry. Such popularity is due to the fact that it is used as a replacement indoor plants. A money tree, unlike natural flowers, does not require care. No need to worry that it will die from lack of sun and moisture.

The money tree looks very original. Its other benefits are:

• formation unusual item interior that will attract the eyes of guests.

Before embarking on the manufacturing process, you need to stock up on everything you need. To make a money tree with your own hands from banknotes classic version, you will need:

First you need to take care of making flowers for the tree. This role is played banknotes. They are folded diagonally to end up with square shapes. Excess fragments must be cut off.

Each square is then folded diagonally in the same way, forming triangles. At the base of these products, each corner is lifted and bent. The same is done with the corners of the triangles. When all the necessary blanks are made, you need to glue them glue gun. It is better to take a glue gun, because PVA glue takes longer to dry.

5 models are created, which serve as the basis for the formation of flowers. 24 flowers - so much should be obtained for a ball, which is 70 cm in diameter.

take decorative vase and decorated with sisal fiber. There are various shades available. It is advisable to select a fiber that would be combined harmoniously with a shade of satin ribbon.

A fiber is placed in a vase, and a regular polyethylene bag is placed at the top. Gypsum is used to support the tree trunk. Take equal parts building plaster- alabaster with water, after which it is intensively mixed until a mixture is thick in consistency. The resulting composition is poured into a bag, and 4 wires and a cable are placed in the central region. They will play the role of a branch of the money tree. Gypsum hardens quickly, so after 10 minutes you can continue working.

After solidification, a PVC bag is taken out, gypsum is poured into a pot or vase on top of the fiber. The top is decorated with sisal. An emerald-colored ribbon is required to effectively decorate the trunk of a tree and its branches. It is also recommended to twist the branches with your own hands, and not leave them straight. Thanks to this, the tree will look more expressive.

The ball plays the role of a tree crown. It doesn't have to be styrofoam. If there are old newspapers left in the house, you can roll them into a ball shape. Threads are applied to this element. The ball is attached to the tree trunk with glue. Flowers made from banknotes can be glued to the top. To give more splendor to the composition, individual fibers can be passed between the flowers.

Tree with ladybugs

To make a product of this type with your own hands, you can use decorative ladybugs, leaves and other decor items. But first of all, you need to make flowers for the crown. Each banknote is cut in the middle and form a kind of bags. They are fixed with glue. It is quite enough to make 50 such forms.

After that, the bags are glued on the side. It turns out a kind of flower, consisting of many banknotes. This is the base of the crown. It is desirable to make it multi-layered. With each subsequent layer, the number of bags must be reduced.

To make the money tree more attractive, you can fix the decorative branches with a small wire by wrapping the cable with a satin ribbon. It is not necessary that the trunk of the tree turned out to be even. You can twist it in a spiral.

In a mini-vase where the tree will be placed, you can lay out the foam squares and fill them gypsum mortar. Next comes the installation of sockets and cables. Drying time is no more than 20 minutes. Styrofoam squares are needed here in order for the stick to hold firmly. This is important, since it plays the role of the basis on which the entire composition rests.

A circle 110 mm in diameter is cut out of cardboard. A hole is made in the center through which the base is passed. Attached to it decorative leaves. Following this glue, a crown is fixed, which includes many layers.

Sisal is applied on top of the plaster. The branches are straightened or twisted. Glue fix the cable to the crown. At the end of the work, decorative ladybugs made of beads or bought in a needlework store are fixed on the topiary.

Christmas tree from banknotes

This is original solution for new year holiday. To make such a composition, you will need:

A cone made of foam rubber is strung with sushi sticks and placed in a vase. You do not need to cut the bills - just fold them so that they form a fold. Money is fixed on a cone using miniature pins. You should start from the bottom row.

After that, the tree is examined from all sides to be sure that there are no gaps. The final stage is the creation of an asterisk. It is cut out of paper and placed on top of the Christmas tree using a toothpick. Christmas tree looks great in combination with various mini labels and ribbons in bright colors.

Using dollars

This composition is loved by many owners. They often prefer dollars over domestic banknotes. To create such a topiary, you need to take:

• counterfeit money;
• drywall;
• New Year's or any other napkin;
• barbecue skewers.

They make 50 Easter cakes from banknotes. After that, three layers of Christmas trees are formed. The lower one can consist of 12 products, the middle one - of 10, the upper one - of 7. Paper cones are glued together with glue. Connect the tiers on a skewer in the same way. The gypsum base is wrapped in a napkin, any pattern is painted with watercolors.

Application of beads

For those who prefer brighter and more memorable options, we can recommend a topiary in which dollars and beads are used. Decorative twigs are fixed on the tree, beads are fixed on them, which are distributed in such a way that original patterns are obtained.

You can also make edging banknotes with beads. But the most decorative spectacular option obtained when beads, banknotes and coins are used. On the other hand, it is necessary to maintain a balance here so that the composition does not look too vulgar and tasteless.
