Maybe here is such a variant of the money tree as a gift:
Or more simply:
But today we will make real roses from bills ...
Let's make a reservation right away that when twisting flowers from money, not a single banknote was damaged. The bouquet is untwisted in the reverse order, the bills are smoothed out - and ... Hello, shopping!
So, we need banknotes ... different, not necessarily dollars:
By the way, such a bouquet can be made not only from real banknotes, but also from printed ones. Stylization will turn out - a gift with a wish for wealth, prosperity, financial well-being.
First, let's prepare everything you need. It is better to take banknotes brand new, even, rustling. One rose takes 4-6 bills, depending on the desired degree of splendor of the flower. Immediately calculate how many buds will be in the bouquet and how many bills you will need. For 3 roses - 12-18 banknotes.
Now let's think about the base for the flower. You can use a bottle cap for this or borrow stems from artificial flowers. If you don't have either. nothing else, do the following...
Fold a sheet of A4 paper in half, and then in half again. Cut 4 rectangles along the fold line. Roll each one tightly around a thick pencil or marker. Secure the end with tape. We got 4 parts for the base.
Now let's make petals from banknotes. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, twist all 4 corners of the bill so that you get a petal curl.
Empirically, you will find out how steep the curl should be - the splendor of the bud depends on this.
Bend a banknote with curled edges in half with curls outward. Place an African braid elastic or pharmaceutical elastic in place of the fold.
Return to our paper blank for the base of the flower. Wrap a petal with an elastic band around the tube and secure it firmly to the base.
Similarly, you need to do with the next bill. In total, when using 4 banknotes, you will get a rose of 8 petals. If it seems a little, make 1-2 more wraps, but do not overdo it, roses should remain buds.
Now let's take a look at the stem. In the absence of the best option - stems from artificial flowers, we will replace them with wooden skewers - a completely universal option. Skewers can be pre-wrapped with green thread and glue to make them green. Or just paint with acrylic paint.
Put a little glue on the end of the skewer and wrap it with a piece of sponge. For reliability, you can also fix the sponge with a thread. Now put some glue on the sponge itself and put the bud on it. The glue touches only the paper from the inside, while the banknotes remain intact.
Now we form a bouquet according to our own preference ... You can additionally decorate the bouquet with artificial flowers, or form it only from cash roses.
Use ours to find out how best to arrange a bouquet further.
What can be done with money? Just spend? Trite. Giving someone a gift is no better option. You can find another use for money - to make flowers out of them with your own hands. You can also make a tree out of money. Having mastered the technique and using your imagination, you can make original crafts from money, which you can then give to someone.
money tree
To create such a tree, you will need:
- the basis for the tree;
- flower pot;
- banknotes (33 banknotes of different denominations were used for this tree);
Instruction
Prepare the base for the tree. It can be made from metal or wooden twigs, painted with paint. Place the base in a flower pot, after pouring small stones into it or placing floral foam.
Prepare money. Iron all bills so that they are even. Use a regular flat iron or straightener.
Now, using the origami technique, you need to make petals from banknotes.
Take a bill and fold it in half lengthwise.
Bend the corners down to make a 90 degree angle.
Unfold the folded corner and fold over the side so that it lines up neatly with the fold line. Repeat with the second side.
This is how your bill should look after you take the third step.
Wrap the tops of the corners on the bill.
Fold the bill in half lengthwise. You should have small diagonal "pockets" on the outside. If there are none, then you have folded the bill incorrectly.
You have prepared one petal for the flower. Make similar petals from three more bills.
Take one of the petals, as shown in the picture, "insert" it into the pocket of the other petal. Repeat the process. with the rest of the petals.
After that, spread the flower petals with your fingers.
Make as many petals and flowers as needed to decorate your tree. Attach them to the tree and once again spread the petals well.
Flowers from money - the second way
You can make flowers out of money in another way. No glue is used to create them, instead a binder is used, which can be easily detached, and the bills can be used for their intended purpose.
Keep in mind that crumpled banknotes will not work in this case either, so iron the banknotes before creating flowers.
To make a flower out of money with your own hands, you will need to apply the origami technique again. Those who are at least a little familiar with this art know that square-shaped paper is usually used to create such crafts. The banknote, on the other hand, has the shape of a rectangle, so the flower technique will be slightly changed.
Take a bill of any denomination, put it on a flat horizontal surface, fold it as shown in the figure.
After that, fold the left and right sides to the center of the bill.
After that, fold the bill in half and fix it with a binder.
Repeat the above steps with four more bills, you should have a total of 5 petals.
To connect all the petals, just pinch them with a binder.
If you do not bind the bills with a binder, but simply roll them up a little and then bend the corners, you will get a flower that looks like a tulip.
To create flowers, you can use banknotes of any denomination, and make any number of petals. The person to whom you present this gift will be able not only to admire it, but also to use the money from which the present is made for its intended purpose.

Hello. Here's a rose I'll show you how I made it. On the Internet, a slightly different method is shown, they were fastened with rubber bands for money. But I did not do this, because with an awkward movement or tension of bills in the fold, it can break .... And we need to preserve the integrity of each money at all costs.
It took me seven bills for each rose ... For six bills, I bent the edges like this: one edge in one direction, the other edge in the other. And for one, which will be attached first, all 4 corners are bent in one direction. So, after a long bending, I started wrapping each money in a circle, with paper ...
Actually, this is what should happen .... The bill needs to be folded in half, slightly offset.
And we begin to glue on hot glue, press firmly. And we carefully look so that the glue does not drip onto the money. This method is good because the bill fits snugly together and does not fall apart. The base, I took a wire, with a piece of penoplex.
In the very last row, if you see fit, you can carefully trim the paper with scissors. Then cut out the sepals and glue. Tape.
