Make a money tree like a painting. Coin topiary: how to make a money tree with your own hands. Which money tree is better according to Feng Shui?
The art of Feng Shui teaches us: in order to become rich, you must have a money tree, because it is this tree that attracts material wealth and prosperity like a magnet. In souvenir shops there is a wide selection of such talismans for every taste, but if you make a money tree with your own hands and put a piece of your soul into it, this will enhance its effect several times. We bring to your attention several options for making a homemade tree, which does not lose either its beauty or magical abilities.
Topiary made of coins
When starting to make topiary from coins (a decorative tree with a shaped round crown), you should adhere to the following rules:
- The main emphasis is the crown, and its diameter should be larger than the pot in which the tree grows.
- The maximum size of the pot is equal to the width of the crown, but it is better to take a smaller pot so that it does not draw attention to itself.
- The total height of the souvenir tree will be approximately three times the diameter of the crown itself.
- The trunk should be thin but stable.
- To prevent the tree from falling, the base of the pot must be filled with heavy filler.
One of the simplest options for a coin money tree is to use a round foam ball as the base for the crown. Some craftsmen make it from newspapers, rolling them tightly and gluing them together, but this option is not the best, since it is very difficult to achieve an even round shape. To make the crown perfect, it is better to choose a foam ball. Its size depends on the desire and the number of coins available, but it is worth considering that there should be a lot of them, because the ball is completely covered.
The ball should first be covered with paper napkins - this way it will not be slippery and the coins will stick better.
So, to make a topiary money tree with your own hands, you need to select small coins of the same denomination, for example, 10 rubles. They can be attached either with a heat gun or PVA glue (the first option is preferable, as it will ensure good adhesion). The crown should be formed in the form of scales, namely:
A small area of the ball should remain empty - the trunk will “grow” from here.
The tree trunk can be made from an ordinary sushi stick and then it will be smooth, or from a piece of thick aluminum cable, bent in a fancy way. Painting will give the wooden trunk a golden effect, but the cable must be wrapped with tape or paper of a similar color. 
All that remains is to collect and “plant” the money tree, namely:
- Secure the barrel in the hole left on the crown ball, using glue if necessary.
- Fill a small plastic glass or a regular cup with plaster and install the tree.
- When the plaster hardens, cover the “soil” in the glass with coins, paint it with gold paint or cover it with glitter.
- Decorate the pot with paint or cover it with beautiful lace.
If desired, you can attach leaves or bows to the stem, and plant a butterfly on the crown - it all depends only on the imagination of the master.
Graceful money tree with branches
You can make a very delicate money tree with your own hands from coins and wire: a beautiful flowing crown with golden coin leaves will be the main decoration of your home. Making a talisman is not difficult, for this:
Coins can also be combined with beads, and the barrel can be given different shapes.
Coin painting
Not only does a three-dimensional tree look impressive, but also when laid out as a painting on canvas or paper. This kind of work can be done with children, because there is nothing complicated about how to make a money tree in a picture. The craft itself is as follows:
- Draw an outline (trunk and crown) on the canvas.
- Lay out the stem from paper napkins twisted into flagella.
- Make a crown out of coins.
- Paint everything with gold paint.
- Place the picture in the frame.
What does the money tree symbolize?
There are many signs associated with the money tree. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, the main task of this talisman is to attract financial well-being and wealth to its owner, but the effect will only be if the tree is placed in the right place, namely in the wealth zone. The south-eastern side of the room is responsible for this, and to enhance the effect of the money tree, it is recommended to install a fountain nearby.
Chinese Feng Shui experts claim that decorative talisman trees should have 10 branches containing exactly 100 coins - this combination has the maximum magical effect.
If you shake such a tree and jingle the leaf-coins, you should soon expect material benefits. Whether this is true or not is up to you to decide.
As for the living money tree (crassula), the plant also retains its symbolism if it is properly cared for. In this case, in order for the flower to have a positive effect on the material condition, it is necessary to regularly wipe the leaves, preventing dust from forming on them - it will lead to the opposite effect (waste and loss of money). The drying out of the bush also portends unplanned waste.
To activate the action of the money tree, you should place a coin at the bottom of the flowerpot and wash it under running water every year on the eve of Christmas.
To summarize, I would like to say: if you have supplies of small items in your house, including old coins, you should definitely try to make a talisman from them. A money tree made with love by your own hands will not only decorate your home, but will also become an original gift for friends and acquaintances.

Handmade money talismans will never lose their relevance. The thing is that by making such an amulet, you charge it with positive energy, which will subsequently attract material flows, endowing your home with wealth.
The doctrine of money talismans was practiced long before our era. Previously, people had a simpler attitude towards material problems, not considering them important. Indeed, in case of lack of money, hand-made amulets always came to the rescue. They helped attract money into the house, intercepting energy information flows and directing them directly to their owner. The most powerful talisman of wealth is considered to be a money tree or topiary made from banknotes.
How to make a money tree Topiary: step by step instructions
The crown of your money tree will be strewn with counterfeit bills, which can be purchased at any prank store or printed on your own. Money, even if it is not real, should all be standard and the same size. This way the topiary will turn out lush, voluminous and very beautiful.
First, you will have to give each bill the shape of a pentagon. This is necessary so that you end up with a symmetrical bag of each banknote. Arm yourself with scissors and cut all the money in half. Then form a little bag; for convenience, the edge of the bill can be cut off. Be sure to glue the fold so that your money bag does not come apart, and bend its tip and glue it to the main part. As it shown on the picture:
The required number of money petals cannot be calculated in advance, so it is best to make about seventy pieces at first. After the blanks are ready, you need to start creating the trunk of your money tree. You will need a small, even stick, twig, wire or thick cable, which you can improve with something: glitter, decorative tape, paint, etc. Creating topiary is a creative process in which there is always room for improvisation.
The money tree on which you will glue the petal bags should be based on a round and elastic object. We recommend purchasing a ball that is sold in any pet supply store. The diameter of the toy is 2.5 - 3 cm. Heat the core of the ball with a knife so that your decorated stick fits there. For reliability, it is best to fasten the barrel with liquid glue from a pistol.
It's time to remember your financial provisions. Start gluing from the bottom, exactly where you strengthened the future trunk of your tree and the elastic ball acting as the core of the topiary. Glue the bags not only to the ball, but also to the trunk, being sure to glue them together.
The top of the topiary should be done with precision and care, because this is the most important and noticeable part. In the end, you should have a money ball on a beautiful stick, which you need to plant in a pot.
The pot can be made from a regular jar left over from yogurt. Paint it with acrylic paint of any color. If you want, you can let your imagination run wild and decorate the pot with netting, ribbons and other decorative items.
The next step is that to plant a money tree in a pot, you will need a small amount of cement, water and soil. After stirring the mixture until thick, pour it into your pot, and place the money tree evenly in the core. After the mixture has dried, it is advisable to decorate it with glitter on top.
The finishing touches remain. We straighten the crown of the tree; it can be coated with transparent varnish for fixation and natural shine. It is advisable to decorate the topiary trunk with artificial leaves, gluing them to the base. That's it, your maintenance-free money tree is ready. Now you can no longer worry about material problems.
When creating money amulets for yourself, remember that your thoughts should completely belong to the manufacturing process. Forget for a while about all the problems and troubles, concentrating on the energy of light, well-being and abundance. It will not hurt if you imagine how you have already received everything you dream of. This will start the mechanism of the amulet. We wish you success. be happy and don't forget to press the buttons and

Advice! The choice of denomination of banknotes, as well as their authenticity, completely depends on the master. If you plan to give a small amount, you can add one real bill to the place of honor.
Money bouquet - another super gift idea
Money tree: master class
One of the most popular types of topiary is a money tree made from bills and coins. Making such a gift is not at all difficult if you follow the instructions step by step.
To make a souvenir you will need:
- a small pot for indoor plants or a mug;
- coins and bills;
- glue and double-sided tape;
- leg-split;
- scissors;
- alabaster;
- sushi stick.
It is better to have the necessary tools at hand
- Take a sushi stick and tie a knot of twine at the end, then wrap the rope around the entire stick to create a tree trunk. Place the finished barrel in a pot and secure it with alabaster, leaving space on top for coins.
Of course, the money tree for decoration is made from drawn banknotes
- Take the bill and fold it in half, slightly moving the edges. It must be folded unevenly so that the edges move, after which the uneven edge must be secured with double-sided tape and glue. Make an envelope from the folded bill, securing the edges with the glue-coated side.
Technique for folding banknotes
- For a flower you will need 15 such envelopes; use the same technology to make 14 more pieces. From the resulting 15 envelopes, assemble a flower; the corner of the envelope should be in the center, expanding towards the outer edge. Grease the right side of each envelope and secure all bills together using double-sided tape.
Connect the elements together using a glue gun or tape
- Take two identical coins and glue them to the center of the resulting flower, one on each side, to secure the flower. Take a pot with a trunk and smear glue on the top of the trunk, putting a flower from envelopes on it so that the trunk is hidden inside. Secure with glue the back side of the barrel, which is covered by the inside of the envelope.
Elegant tree with your own hands
- All that remains is to decorate the pot with coins. To do this, take the resulting tree and coins. Lubricate each coin with glue and fix it under the tree trunk in a random order, placing one on top of the other to make a pile of coins.
The money tree is ready!
Advice! When working with coins, it is better to use a more reliable glue so that the structure does not fall apart. A glue gun or superglue is suitable for this.

DIY money cake
This master class is perfect for a gift with genuine banknotes, since the money will remain intact, without traces of glue or creases. A cake made from banknotes will be an excellent gift for a wedding, where a monetary souvenir is especially relevant, and the presentation will become more impressive and memorable.
For production you will need:
- thick and thin cardboard;
- thin satin ribbon and elegant bow;
- paper clips;
- double-sided tape and glue;
- bills (at least 100 pieces).
- Take thick cardboard and cut out 3 bases for each tier.
Blanks for money cake
Important! The largest one should be about 30 cm in diameter, and each subsequent one should be 2-3 cm smaller.
- Cover the edge of the base with satin ribbon to hide the cut. From thin cardboard, cut 3 strips for each base. The height of the strip should correspond to the bill rolled into a tube, and the length of the rolled strip should be adjusted to the circle.
The base of the cake is the largest part in diameter.
Advice! The folded strip should be slightly smaller than the base so that the money tubes can fit on it.
- When cutting out the strips, make 6 triangles in diameter equally spaced around the circle on one side and the other entirely from the jagged edges. Fold these edges and spread with glue, securing the edge of the cake to the base.
- Take a bill, roll it up and secure it with a paper clip. Use the outside of the paper clip on the bill to place it on the side of the cake. Do the same around the entire circle. Using the same principle, make the remaining 2 bases and decorate each with banknotes.
- From thin cardboard, cut out another circle corresponding to the diameter of the smallest base. A circle of thin cardboard is the top of the cake. In its center you need to secure a bow with glue.
- Assemble the cake by gluing one tier to the other by the visible triangles.
Cash trade is ready!
Custom handmade gift
Advice! If dollars are used, the tube should not be rolled all the way so that the president's face can be seen. Each subsequent bill is attached to the left, covering the tail remaining from the previous one.

The money tree is not only the most popular, but also the most effective talisman of wealth. In addition, it will decorate any interior. It’s quite easy to make a money tree with your own hands; all you need is to stock up on the necessary 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 Chinese food stick;
- 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 tubes out of money.
If you use small bills for the money tree, you can use them to make “bags” and secure them 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 (when making the tree in the photo, a ball with a diameter of about 7 cm and approximately 90 twisted “bags” were used).
We make a hole in the foam ball with an old pen, then secure 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 secure it with glue so that it does not unravel.
We begin to glue rolled up bills onto the top of the foam ball.
You should try to place the “bags” as close to each other as possible so that there are no gaps.
After the entire ball is pasted over, we spread the alabaster.
We transfer the finished mixture into a flower pot or any unnecessary container (for the money tree in the photo a cut-off bottle of shower gel was used), place the tree trunk there, fix it in the desired position and wait for it to harden completely (you can change the steps as desired: first pour the barrel in alabaster, and then stick banknotes onto the foam ball).
After the alabaster has hardened, you can decorate the pot in which the tree will stand. Alabaster can be laid on top with sisal, half beads, or, for example, covered with coins.
Everyone knows that a gift made with your own hands is much more valuable than the most expensive one purchased in a souvenir shop. Therefore, recently the fashion for homemade products has been actively spreading. Among all the others, it stands out significantly among the coins. Such a craft will not only make an excellent gift, but will also be a good talisman that will attract financial well-being to your home.
The magic of an unusual tree
Since ancient times, there have been many beliefs and symbols, thanks to which the material condition of a person significantly improves. One of these symbols is the money tree. According to one of the Chinese legends, the presence of such a tree, plant or souvenir in the house will certainly bring happiness and prosperity to its owner. Its correct placement, according to the teachings of Feng Shui, cleanses the home aura and attracts additional finances.
But you can make a money tree out of coins. The energy invested in creating this craft is considered stronger than natural energy. It is not for nothing that they say that In addition, do not forget, when the tree is ready, to shake it - this ritual is mandatory for the tree to “work.”
Types of products
The most common are three types:
- panel "Money Tree" made of coins;
- small topiaries decorated with coins;
- tree with or without beaded coins.
Such souvenirs will be a wonderful gift for almost any event: anniversary, name day, birthday, wedding or wedding anniversary, promotion. In addition, the variety of shapes allows you to decorate any corner of the room, be it a wall, desktop, shelf or coffee table.
As you can see, there is room for imagination to run wild. Moreover, such products are created from almost everything that can be found in a needlewoman’s box.
Materials for production
Since coin money trees can come in different shapes, you need to find out what basic materials are required to make each type.
So, to create a panel or painting you should take:
- canvas or burlap;
- napkins or paper towels;
- coins;
- PVA glue and glue gun;
- brush;
- acrylic paints (most often black, gray and bronze colors);
- frame.
To create a “Money Tree” topiary from coins, you need:
- strong wooden or bamboo stick;
- pot;
- coins;
- round base (foam or plastic);
- plaster or alabaster;
- decorative elements (feathers, leaves);
- dye.
Coins are glued onto the prepared round base in layers, like scales. The base itself is mounted on a wooden piece and fixed in a pot or plaster. Before “planting” the stick must be covered with bent coins. If this is not possible, you can braid the workpiece with gold ribbon or corrugated paper. This topiary can be decorated with various decorative elements; it is also good in its original form.
Money trees made of coins, stones and beads
A separate variety consists of products made using various decorative materials. They can also be divided into the following subspecies:
- trees made of coins;
- trees made of beads and coins;
- trees created using coins and stones;
- trees made of coins and bills.
To create a money tree from coins, prepare:
- beads (if they will be used);
- coins (of different sizes and denominations). You can use special decorative coins or Chinese ones, with a hole in the middle;
- two types of wire for weaving: thin and thick;
- pot;
- gypsum mixture;
- acrylic paints.
Creating such a product is quite painstaking work. Each coin must be strung on a wire. If your coins are decorative, it is very easy to pierce them with a hot awl or a thick needle. But if you decide to create a tree from real coins, you can’t do without a drill and a drill. Using a thin drill, you need to make neat holes into which the wire will pass. From these blanks you need to form branches and a trunk. The base of the product is fixed in a pot of plaster and painted. If the tree is woven from beads, coins can be glued to some branches.
To make such a product sparkle in a new way, it is worth weaving various stones into the work. They will add brightness, uniqueness and add interest.
Making a money tree out of coins
There is no clear scheme for creating such a souvenir. The final result depends solely on your imagination, inspiration and source material. In addition, there is even a special ritual for the magic of the tree to work. Before starting work, you need to make a wish or even write it down. If the tree is in a pot, the piece of paper with the wish can be walled up in plaster.
Let's try to create a simple money tree that can become a wonderful picture. The most important thing in working with such a product, no matter what type it is, is to carefully think through all the details; you can draw them on paper.
By the way, you can create such a craft even with a child - his delight will know no bounds.
To make a small panel you should take:
- a sheet of paper with a picture of a tree;
- colored pencils, paints or markers;
- coins (preferably from different countries);
- glue “Moment” or glue gun;
- picture frame.
First you should decorate the crown with the appropriate colors.
After this, you need to glue coins to the crown. If desired, they can be tinted with acrylic paints. Don't forget to leave a gap between the coins where the crown can be seen. Wait until the product dries and your money panel is ready.
In a similar way, you can make a picture consisting entirely of coins. To do this, the schematic image of the tree is completely covered with coins, in some places in 2-3 layers. For an additional effect, you can decorate the craft with decorative leaves or flowers.
Conclusion
Creating a money tree from coins, as you can see, is quite easy. The main thing is that this work must be done with inspiration and faith in improving material well-being. A powerful charge of faith and your energy will create a real miracle. This craft will certainly bring positive changes into your life and significantly improve your well-being.
