To make a picture of a money tree you will need: a picture frame, hard cardboard (you can use a large notebook), burlap the size of the picture, any suitable material to sew up the inside of the picture, paper napkins, coins, dark aerosol for shoes, varnish, glue gun , iron, scissors.
First, you should cut the cardboard so that it fits freely into the frame. You need to give small gaps to the fabric. The burlap must be ironed and glued to the cardboard using a glue gun. Fold the edges of the burlap and glue it on the back side.
Take the fabric for the inside and carefully tape the other side of the picture. Next, you should check whether the picture fits in the frame. The basis for the picture is ready.
Cut the napkins into two and four parts.Twist them into thin flagella and form a tree with branches on the canvas. You need to glue the flagella with a glue gun.
Then it was time to glue coins onto the picture. It is necessary to glue coins near the branches and trunk, forming a lush crown. To make the tree look more impressive, you should glue more coins near the roots of the tree, like fallen leaves.
To darken the picture and give it a finishing touch, you need to paint the coins a dark color with shoe spray. This is best done outdoors. The paint on coins dries in 20-30 minutes.
After this, the coins should be opened with varnish. You can take a regular small bottle of colorless nail polish. After the procedure, the bottle will have to be thrown away, as the brush will become dirty with black paint and the varnish will no longer be suitable for further use. On a few coins, you can rub the brush a little harder to bring out the golden reflection. Let the varnish dry.
Place the picture in the frame and secure it with hot glue. That's it, the money tree picture is ready.
