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 manufacturing
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 cannot 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 onto 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.
Money tree painting is one of the most sought after DIY projects. Such a picture is a solid gift for any holiday and just for the joy of loved ones. Money tree is perfect for any interior, as it has a neutral color without energetic colors.
There are various techniques for creating such images. It is generally accepted that the painting “Money Tree” with a crown of coins brings prosperity to its owners in the financial sphere.
Nuances of collage technique
What we need in our work:
- base for wood, burlap or any other;
- napkins or toilet paper;
- acrylic paints in gold, black, silver;
- ordinary water;
- coins of any denomination;
- foam sponge;
- pencil and scissors;
- cosmetic shine;
- picture frame or photo frame with plywood without texture damage;
- quick-drying glue and PVA glue.
A fabric base for the future canvas is cut from the prepared material. It must be placed on the plywood from the back of the photo frame or any other picture. The fabric is cut exactly to the size of the lining used and secured with glue. When the fabric base is no longer sticky and dry, a rough sketch of the tree is drawn.
PVA glue and plain water are diluted in a medium-sized container. The amount to be diluted should be 1:1. Paper napkins of any color are cut into strips 2 and 3 cm wide. The finished cut pieces are lightly dipped one at a time in a container with diluted glue.
On a note! Don't overdo it with glue on the paper, as it may fall apart.
The resulting strips are carefully and tightly rolled into tubes. Soaked strips of different widths will be used for different parts of the tree, thicker ones for the crown, thinner ones for the branches. Therefore, when twisting, you should pay attention to this and not confuse it. When a sufficient number of flagella are ready, leave them until completely dry.
On a fabric basis, at the location of the tree sketch, a small amount of glue is applied to the place where the crown is formed. Dried strands of paper are laid out on a layer of glue, forming roots, branches, and crown. The work is left until completely dry.
After preparing the wood, you can start gluing the coins. Coins must be pre-cleaned and degreased with alcohol tinctures or any detergents. To securely attach coins, it is better to use quick-drying glue. Glue banknotes as you wish, but be sure to cover all ends of the branches. The tree is ready.
The next stage is the design of the painting, that is, its painting. For this purpose, black aerosol paint is used, sprayed throughout the entire exhibition.
The top layer of gold paint has a wonderful combination. It is imperative that each coat of paint requires drying time.
To give a light shine, you need to go over the entire exhibition with a foam sponge with silver-colored acrylic paint, but without painting, but only dipping the work. After allowing time to dry, the final touch is performed - shading with acrylic gold paint, but only in coins. For shine, you can apply cosmetic gloss over the entire work, before it dries completely. The product is ready, left until completely dry.
Fasten the finished fabric blank with a completely finished tree of coins in a frame, and you can enjoy your individual work.
Trying to create a panel
To complete the work you will need:
- Dense plywood base;
- Putty and spatula;
- Masking tape;
- Paper napkins of any color;
- Item for sanding a painting;
- Glue "Moment";
- Acrylic paints black and gold;
- Foam sponge.
On the prepared base, a sketch of a tree trunk and a pebble on the ground is depicted. The drawn lines of the image are sealed with masking tape cut into narrow and short strips.
To perform the next step, putty and a spatula are required. The putty is applied using a tool to the pebbles and to the trunk of the future tree. The material is applied carefully, without bending the masking tape.
After 20 minutes, until the putty has dried completely, the strips of masking tape come off. The work waits until it dries completely, which is about another two hours.
When the work is completely dry, the top layer must be carefully passed with a sanding object.
The next stage of the work is gluing the coins in any order, but preferably at a maintained distance from each other.
PVA glue and plain water are diluted in a small container; the diluted amount should be 1:1. Napkins of any color are cut into shreds up to 2 cm wide. The finished cut pieces, one at a time, are lightly dipped into a container with diluted glue; do not overdo it with glue on the paper, as it may spread. The resulting strips are carefully and tightly twisted with your palms in the form of tubes. The finished bundles are glued one at a time between the coins.
After gluing the flagella, you can place more coins on top, which will create a volume effect.
After the glue has completely dried, black acrylic paint is applied over the painting. When the paint is dry, use a foam sponge and acrylic gold paint to cover the tree trunk, pebbles and coins.
The outline of the tree trunk and stones can be highlighted with a brush with gold paint.
Additional items can be added at the discretion of the master. The “Money Tree” panel is ready!

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 focus of the craft 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:
- first glue one coin;
- place two coins on top so that the first is partially hidden and they touch each other in the center of the bottom coin;
- Glue the remaining coins in the same way, laying them out like scales, layer by layer;
- treat the covered crown with varnish to enhance shine.
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:
Drill holes in the coins and put each one on a small piece of thin wire - these will be the leaves on the petioles.
Connect the leaves into branches.
Build a tree from the branches, attaching them to the trunk using a thick flexible cable.
Place the tree in a pot or glass with plaster.
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 (spending 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.
