Topiary "The soaring cup": how to make your own?

Before you get down to work, you need to make sure that you have all the necessary materials. Here's what you need:

- coffee cup and saucer (preferably from one service);

- thick wire (insulated) 20-25 centimeters in length;

- hot gun (glue) ;

- Stationery scissors;

- Pliers;

- materials (flowers, beads, beads, shells, coffee beans, ribbons and others).

Manufacturing begins with working with wire. The design may not be sufficiently stable if the length is too large. The wire needs to be bent until it looks like the letter S. With a hot gun, glue one end to the saucer and the other to the bottom of the cup, tilting it slightly forward.

Next on the turn are artificial flowers or any other materials. Decorate the decorations from the cup, and then gradually over the entire surface of the wire. Flowers from the cup seem like a falling fountain.

After finishing the work with the cup you will need to lay out and paste the flowers on the saucer as well. Add to the resulting composition something else interesting, such as artificial butterflies, hearts.

This technique of making the product "The floating cup" can be applied to other types of topiary. It can be small coffee trees, with coins, satin ribbons, bright paper, even dyed eggs.

Money symbol

It is believed that silver, gold coins, which are present in various souvenirs, attract prosperity and prosperity to the house. It would seem that making a monetary waterfall is not so easy, but it is not. The technique of production is quite simple.

For this we need the following materials:

- a mug and a saucer to it;

- fork or spoon;

- coins;

- an adhesive tape or an insulating tape;

- Pliers;

- glue gun (as well as a thermo gun for fixing coins).

Use pliers to bend the fork (spoon). The ends should be bent at opposite sides. This will be the frame of the scenery. Next, wrap the bent fork (spoon) with tape (tape). Also, the tape (adhesive tape) will attach the upper part of the frame to the bottom of the cup, the bottom to the saucer. It should be emphasized that the frame must be stable.

On a saucer saucer poured a coin of coins, the same thing done with a mug. The frame must also be pasted with coins. Thus, you will get a wonderful composition - a floating cup-waterfall, made by your own hands.
