A do-it-yourself money tree from beads can be made quite quickly and easily. To do this, you just need to stock up on some patience, the necessary materials and show creative imagination.
Many refuse to make a money tree out of beads with their own hands just because they do not know how to weave various figures from small beads with holes. However, in this creative endeavor it is absolutely not necessary to master such a technique perfectly. This is due to the fact that beads are necessary only for simple and easy creation of leaves, and the trunk and branches themselves will be made of wire and gypsum.
How to make a money tree from beads with your own hands?
Necessary tools and materials for work:
- a small decorative pot - one piece;
- thick copper wire - two to three meters;
- gypsum - two hundred grams;
- PVA glue - one hundred milliliters;
- thin copper wire - three to four meters;
- green beads or Chinese coins - several packages (for leaflets);

- golden or brown spray paint - one spray can;
- dishes for diluting the sticky mass.
Step-by-step instructions for creating a trunk
Do-it-yourself money tree made of beads (more precisely, its frame) should be made of thick copper wire. It is worth noting that the size and direction of growth of such a plant you should choose at your own discretion. However, the more branches there are on the tree, the thicker and more beautiful your self-created souvenir will turn out. Thus, having built the base of the wire, it should immediately be installed in a small decorative pot and fixed using special glue.
In order to create this mass, in a separate bowl it is necessary to mix PVA glue and building gypsum in equal proportions . It is worth noting that such a mixture hardens instantly, so it is recommended to use it extremely quickly for its intended purpose.
After the frame is installed in the pot, you should proceed to its design. For this, the newly diluted adhesive mass must be glued to the wire so that in the end it is similar to a tree trunk.
