Let us 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 follow the instructions below for making a wedding gift clearly and step by step.

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

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

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

In addition to money, you will also need:

• several leaves 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 buy a pack at once, as they require quite a lot in the process;
• simple pencil, ruler and compasses;
• scissors;
• various 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 limited in budget, then you can get by with a two-tiered wedding cake.

At the heart of this gift should be placed low cylinders made of cardboard. In shape they should look like a hat-cylinder. Depending on how many tiers your money cake will have, so many cylinders you will need to do. These figures must be made with the same height, but differ in diameter. Such cylinders are located one above the other: below there will be the largest in diameter figure, and on top - the smallest.

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

At the base of the cake will be located the cylinder with the largest diameter. To make 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.

It is necessary to carefully cut a large circle, using stationery scissors.

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

Cut a rectangle. The distance that you left for the seams, you must arrange in the form of cloves. With the help of notched particles, it will be easier to glue the rim to the base of the cylinder. The part of the rectangle, which acts as an allowance for the seams, must be bent at a right angle to the side. It must be glued to the circle, placed around the inner circle, the diameter of which was 25 centimeters. For this edge of the side should be smeared with glue and hold for a few minutes until they stick to the cardboard base. The side edges also need to glue the lap, closing the vertical side in the ring.

The process of attaching banknotes to the lower tier of a monetary 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 equal to 2.5 cm;
2. Apply a tube rolled out of a banknote to the side so that its outer end is leaning against the cylinder and is located on the left side;
3. using a paper clip, you need to attach the upper part of the tube to the upper part of the rim;
4. With the next bill, do the same, turning the same tube out of it.

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

Pay attention that the wedding cake of notes looks harmonious, all banknotes must be rolled into tubes of the same size.

Slowly moving around the circle, you can decorate the lower part of the wedding gift with monetary tubes.

The manufacturing process of the second tier will occur in a similar pattern as the production of the first tier. You only have to cut a circle of smaller diameter, equal to 25 centimeters ÷, using thick cardboard. In the middle of this circle also need to draw another small circle, whose diameter is 20 centimeters.

In order to make a rim, you need to cut a rectangle from soft cardboard, the length of which will be equal to 66 centimeters, and the height corresponds to the height of banknotes. And also do not forget to retreat a little space for seam allowance.

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

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

If your cake will have three tiers, then you need to likewise make the uppermost tier. Its parameters are:

• a large circle, the diameter of which is equal to 20 centimeters;
• inner circle with a diameter of 15 centimeters;
• a rectangle whose length is 50 centimeters.

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

The lower part of the middle cylinder should be smeared with glue and attached on top of the largest cylinder. Hold it with your hands so that the tiers stick to each other well. 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 does not splash in the process. If he 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 spoil the gift, because a young family should use the money for its intended purpose, and not just admire your gift.

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

Wrap each tier of the cake with ribbons, their ends should be decorated with large bows. The lower part of the uppermost tier should be decorated with artificial flowers. Arrange them tightly to each other so that the cardboard is not visible.

On the remaining lower areas you can place small flowers and bows made of organza. On large flowers you can arrange decorative butterflies.

To give 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 get a beautifully decorated cash cake.

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

Now you are ready to go to the wedding party 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 the wedding with their own hands.

Presenting the cake out of bills, try to prepare in advance and pronounce the appropriate greeting.

Wish the family couple happiness, health and passionate feelings that they can carry through a long happy family life.
