Topiary from a napkin. Process description

1. Mounting the ball (tree crowns) to the branch (trunk). In the ball, cut out a hole that coincides in diameter with the circumference of the branch, fill it with glue and insert the barrel of the future topiary. Hold for a minute until the details come to grips. If you do not have a ready-made ball of foam or plastic, you can take a tangle of unwanted threads or make a ball of paper. To do this, a large number of newspapers crumble, thread around the entire circumference, forming a ball. Then wrap the resulting blank with plain paper and fix it with adhesive tape.
2. Making flowers . We fold the paper napkin four times and fix it in the center with a stapler. We put a round pattern on it and circle it. Cut out the workpiece along the intended line. It turns out a round detail, consisting of 8 tiers of paper (4 tiers - this is a factory napkin addition, and 4 tiers - a napkin we put together). Each tier is compressed with fingers to the middle (to the stapler bracket). It turns out a magnificent flower, similar to a rose. How many such blanks do you need to make one topiary from a napkin? And it depends on the size of the ball and the template. Run first 12-15 pieces, and then add as needed.
3. Decoration of the ball . Over the entire area of the round base we glue the flowers close to each other. The voids between them can be decorated with the same roses, only smaller in diameter. You can also fill them with sisal fibers, artificial flowers or sweets.
4. Mounting the topiary in a container. Dilute the gypsum, pour it into the pot (plastic cup, ceramic cup). Center the tree trunk and hold it for a few minutes. Leave the product until completely dry.
5. Stage of decoration . To make a beautiful topiary from a napkin, you still need to decorate the original trunk and capacity. Wrap the thread with tape or tape, glue on top a few beads or decorative buttons in the form of butterflies, ladybirds. Wrap the wrapper with wrapping paper, secure with tape. Put the gypsum under the tree under a layer of beads or glass beads. You can put a small figure of a bird or some animal there. The crown of the tree can also be decorated with birds and butterflies.

Here also the topiary is ready from paper napkins. There is nothing complicated in its manufacture. The pleasure from work - the greatest, positive emotions - weight. Try to make such a tree - and see for yourself. Decorate your house with beautiful handmade items! It's fashionable, beautiful, original!
