The procedure for making a tree is not at all complicatedand does not take much time. The first thing to do is make a crown. Each denomination is added with a "kulechkom", the edges are fixed with glue. The number of such "leaves" will depend on the size of the ball-base. Or you can make a curly crown: for this, you need to fold the accordion (remember, as a fan in childhood?). The tip of the banknote in this case is bent and fastened to the base with pins. The more you make the leaves, the more chic the tree will look. Now wrap the future trunk with foil and insert one end into the base of the crown, and the other into the pot filled with gypsum. If the plaster was not found, it can be replaced with any solidifying mortar. Finish decorating the tree on your own. You can add artificial green leaves to the crown or tie the trunk with red ribbons. If the article is prepared as a gift, place in it a few stickers with wishes.

To make twigs, prepare a copper wire, a floral tape and acrylic paints. Well, of course, do not forget about the pot of gypsum, into which you "plant" your talisman. Wire cut into pieces of 12-15 centimeters - this will be the branches of our tree. Now we weave in each branch three pebbles and one coin. When all twigs are woven, we wrap them with floral tape, connecting them together. We got about seven main branches. From them we collect the future trunk, which is also wound with a ribbon.

- To the branch with three leaves we attach a coin;
- Now take a twig with a coin and a couple of twigs with five leaves and twist together. You got one solid branch for the tree;
- We repeat the procedure of weaving until you have 50-60 branches on your table;
- Now you need to build a tree. For this we twist all the branches together and we weave;
