Key recommendations
Before you make a bouquet of money with your own hands, it is important to remember a few basic rules.
If you are making such a gift for the first time, and there is no practical experience yet, then it is best to make a trial version of souvenir notes. So you can understand the technology of the process without fear that the money will go bad.
If adhesive materials are used during the work (PVA, silicone or hot glue), they should be fixed in such a way that the appearance of the bill was not damaged. It is also best to use souvenir money.
How to make a bouquet?
Making flowers out of notes is only one part of the story. It is important to have a clear idea of what a bouquet of money will look like when you complete a job. There are many techniques for designing artificial crafts, but you should focus on the following:
- The standard design of a bouquet of money. This method implies that the finished cash flowers will be wrapped in paper for packing fresh flowers, kraft paper or a special floral grid. The advantages of this method are that a bouquet of money takes on a neat and finished look.
- The addition of cash flowers live or artificial. Crafts look very harmonious, in which there are not only independently made money flowers, but also, for example, real roses, small peonies or decorative daisies. However, if there are no fresh flowers at hand, you can make them, for example, from beads, satin ribbons or decorate a bouquet of money with artificial flowers.
- Dilution of a bouquet of sweets. If there is a desire to make a completely non-standard gift, then you can dilute the craft with sweets, candies or small decorated gingerbread cookies. However, in this case, it is worth remembering the basic rules of hygiene - a lot of bacteria and microbes accumulate on the money, so sweets must be separately packed.
A simple bouquet of money - a master class
To make one flower you will need six to seven bills. First you need to fold each bill in half. Next, use a toothpick or a ballpoint pen to draw the corners so that they twist to the outside. The same operation should be done with all other bills.
Next, you need to form a bud - the first bill is the center of the flower, the second and third are the middle, and the rest are extreme. In order to make the flower magnificent, you should add money petals in a spiral, shifting each leaf by one or two centimeters from the previous one. In the end, so that the bud does not fall apart, you need to tie it with a thin elastic band.
After the flowers are prepared, proceed to the assembly of a bouquet of money. The easiest way would be to take a foam ball and use the toothpicks to plant shaped flowers on it. The volume of the ball depends on the size of the bouquet.
In order to decorate the bouquet, add small living flowers, and at the very end, wrap the craft with floral paper.
