Making a Money Tree

RE: Making a Money Tree Post By MS. "K" ldyer (Guest Post) (10/01/2008) Thanks for the ideas. Here's mine: I purchased from the 99 cents store a small lazy Susan (black) for the foundation of the tree (the tree can spin for the guests to add money or just to admire), 4 coiled plastic center pieces that are made up of green leaves meant for placing candles in the middle, and 2 more coils made to look like they have pears and peaches on them. I am going to strategically place the coils around a Styrofoam cone shaped piece after i have painted the Styrofoam green. Then place little branches with clothes pins around the tree to hold the gold coins and paper two dollar bills for my granddaughter's birthday!

I am gettting a branch any size that is good for you will do. Spray painting it silver, using blue ribbon with beads tied on the end to fill in. I am using white ribbon with small clips for the money. spray painting a 16in clay pot and painting school logo on it. Also is fun to paint in college colors that the student is going to.

I did that for my husband one Valentine's Day and tied littled red bows at the bottom of the fan. It also fills out the tree.

It's the same concept as the tree except it was a Styrofoam base with the dollars stuck in with craft wire. Just make sure you edge the outsides with ribbon BEFORE you start sticking in the money pins! It had it's own table at the party and everyone left their cards on the table, some even added money on top! She loved it! Hope this is helpful!

Just a suggestion.

This should not a very large tree since we will have to carry it to the party. Any ideals would be appreciated. Thanks, Janice Answers: Plaster of Paris Base I have made money trees by puting a branch from the yard into plaster of paris in a pot (flower pot) and letting it set till the branch is firmly upright. I spray painted both the branch and pot (color of choice). I always get new bills as they are crisp and hold a fold well/ I fan fold them lengthwise with very narrow folds, wrap the center with fine craft wire and attach to the branch. pull the ends of the bills open to form the fan shape, add any ribbons or other embelishments you want, some shredded mylar around the base, enjoy. Money can also be folded and made into roses for a different presentation. (08/15/2005) By Donna Large Branches You don't want a "tree" - you need to use a large branch w/many little branches that has been turned on its end into a vase or pot. Choose a branch that when placed on its cut end has a tree shape to it. Some folks use dogwood branches or similar type tree that has multiple branches. You could spray paint it gold to give it a special "rich" effect!! (08/15/2005) By Tripleb Directions You take an approximately 24 inch branch containing many little branches, rinse off any bugs or dirt lingering on the branch. When dry, it can be spray painted or you can dust glitter over glued branches. Stand it up, inverted, in an attractive pot or vase containing colored rocks. Tape short pieces of ribbons onto the branches. Twist the bill once in the center to form a ribbon and tape onto the end of the ribbon.

They are wasting their money and I am loving it. I'll put this somewhere in my blog. http://funuselessstuff.blogspot.com/ Report Spam or Abuse
