Stages of the creation of the panel.

1. Disassemble the photo frame, remove the plywood, put it on the base (wallpaper), circle with a pencil and cut out the blank. Glue the cut material to the outside of the plywood. After drying, draw a tree shape on the sheet.

2. Combine water and PVA glue in a 1: 1 ratio in a bowl. From the prepared napkins, cut the strips, lightly dip each into the previously obtained adhesive mixture, twist the tight tubes and wait for drying. If flagella of different thickness are obtained, then this is normal, in the future they will be needed for the decoration of the crown and branches.

3. Apply glue to the depicted tree in the area of ​​the crown, apply dried tubes of napkins, design the crown, branches, roots according to the drawn pattern.

4. Prepare alcohol or detergent, process them coins. This procedure degreases iron money so that they stick more securely. Stick the coins on the previously formed branches.

5. Spray the entire composition with black spray paint. After drying, you can apply a golden color on top. Next, with the help of a sponge should walk on the panel with silver paint. We are waiting for drying again.

6. Dip a dry sponge in a golden color, apply paint on the coins and blend. Treat the surface of the coins that is still wet from paint. Leave the canvas to dry completely.

7. Insert the picture into the frame and hang it in the right place.

For the manufacture of three-dimensional design follow these steps.

1. Tie pieces of copper wire to the coins. Suitable diameter - 0.3 mm.

2. Bind together the pieces with each other by five pieces - this is how the branches of the future tree will turn out.

3. To make a thin wire hold heavy coins, use an additional millimeter wire. Fold it twice, attach it to the base of the branch and wrap the connection area with FUM tape. This needs to be done with all branches.

4. Build from the branches of the general trunk, holding together all the tape. From the pieces of wire seal the trunk.

5. Pour the plaster mix into the container, lower the barrel there and strengthen the figure until the gypsum solidifies.

6. While the plaster sets, prepare a composition of alabaster, plaster and cement, dilute the compound with PVA glue dissolved in water. When the plaster mix hardens (usually it takes half an hour), remove the tree and put the substance obtained above on the trunk, decorate the grooves.

7. Paint the figure with spray paint, acrylic lacquer or glitter in your favorite colors. For example, golden, bronze, silvery shades look very solid.

Above are the most popular options for making a money symbol, but there are even more original and unusual examples.

• You can give the tree a natural color. For the summer version, the coins are dyed green and the barrel is brown. You can create a winter landscape: for this, the coppers are sprinkled with white paint - this technique will create a snowy, light, gentle effect.

• With the use of coins, you can design a Christmas tree. To do this, turn the pieces of cardboard in the form of cones, paste over each of them with iron money and decorate with cotton balls. The resulting figure will attract wealth in the coming year.

• Another original idea is a tree with a round crown. Glue a small foam rubber ball in several layers, leave space for the future barrel.Glue the usual branch with decorative ribbons, insert it into the hole left in the ball, first piercing a hole in the foam rubber, fix it with glue. In a beautifully decorated glass pour a mixture of sand, alabaster and water, fix vertically the previously obtained structure.

• Easy and fast way to make a money tree by yourself - to present it schematically. You can simply cover a sheet of paper with glue, scatter the foliage on it, wait for it to dry, place the panel under the frame, tightly pressed to the glass, and hang it on the wall. Such an instance possesses no less energy power than more complex variants.

• From coins you can embroider a picture. The barrel and branches are created with embroidery, and decorative leaves with holes are sewn onto the canvas as leaves.
