And it is better to build a topiary on your own, because according to Chinese ancient doctrine of feng shui, this tree brings joy to the house. Making a decorative tree, a person charges it. According to legend, a topiary can bring happiness only to its creator.
Topiary: history and significance in a modern interior
The word topiary or topiary comes from the term "topia" - a decorative garden plot. The concept came from Ancient Rome and meant various figures carved from the crowns of trees or bushes. The ancient Roman civilization disappeared, but the Catholic Church took up the idea of beautifully designed gardens. Then the topiary entered secular life. Their heyday came in the XVII century: it was then that decorative trees appeared in the residences of the rulers of states, including and in the Russian Empire. Then they were forgotten about them, but in the 20th century, the topiary again became popular. Now they no longer decorated the gardens and walls of the palaces, but planted them in pots. Today, the topiary is no longer planted. They can be made of any materials. Topiary make the most bizarre shapes and colors, often quite controversially combining materials. In another way, they are called trees of happiness, believing that they bring joy to the house. They can be made from:
coffee beans;
walnuts;
fir cones;
straw;
sweets;
napkins;
silk ribbons;
plastic bags, etc.
Where to start assembling wood
The assembly of the topiary must begin with planning the appearance of the future tree of happiness and finding the necessary details. The appearance of the topiary is determined by the style of the interior for which it is made. To begin with, there are materials necessary for constructing the base of the tree.In any case, you will need tapes, glue, colored paper, polystyrene foam, mounting foam, etc. The list of details is limited only by the creator’s imagination. After collecting the necessary things, you can begin to create a topiary. First, the trunk is going, because it is the basis of the topiary. Moreover, it must not only be strengthened, but also coated with varnish or paint. Then one end of the trunk is attached to a pot, stone or sink, and a ball is hung on the other, which will later become the crown of a tree of happiness. It is best to use glue to hold all parts of the topiary together.
The foundation
To construct the foundation of the tree of happiness, everything that is at hand at this moment is suitable. To make the basis of newspapers, first you need to crush them well, and only then form the sphere according to the given parameters. Newspapers are wrinkled and pressed tightly, after which they are wrapped with tape. The basis can also be made from newspaper clippings, but in this case they should be folded into a plastic bag. If you need to make a small base from sintepon, first you need to ram it into a sock or stocking, then give it the necessary shape and tightly wind it with thread for sewing. It is even better to make this base of polystyrene, taking ordinary packaging from household appliances. But the polystyrene foam crumbles, it is inconvenient to roll it into a ball, so this basis is not very popular. In addition to the above, the following materials can become the basis of a topiary:
polyurethane foam;
Knitting thread;
papier-mâché, etc.
Trunk
The trunk of a tree of happiness connects the base with the crown, so it must be strong and stable. An ordinary wire fixed by an art tape, twine or plastic may play its role. For the realism of the product, this trunk can be made of a wooden branch or sliver. But first this branch needs to be cleaned of bark, varnished and stained. If a small topiary is made, then as a trunk you can take a popsicle stick, sticks sticked together for sushi or wooden skewers. The color and type of barrel depends on the base material and crown. For topiary with coffee beans, white or brown is suitable.A curved trunk for a European tree can only be made of wire. You can also take any material that is approximately suitable for the topiary trunk, arrange it and fill it with gypsum.
Crown
For the manufacture of crown topiary absolutely any materials that are currently at hand are suitable. To do this, you can take paper napkins, corrugated paper, folded origami, nylon ribbons, etc. Then the crown must be decorated. To do this, take fir cones, real seashells, coffee grains, artificial flowers, etc. Crohn is the main accent of the tree of happiness, therefore, its design must be approached very seriously. The trunk and stand only emphasize the general theme of the topiary, so it is advisable to first determine the material for the crown, and only then design the rest of the tree. But the topiary trunk may not be able to withstand too large a crown, so it should not be overloaded. Some elements can only decorate the stand of the tree of happiness.
Stand
As a support for the topiary, you can take an ordinary flower pot, a large flat stone or an iron bucket, beautifully decorate them and put under the crown. The decor of the stand of the tree of happiness can be any. It is decorated using the decoupage technique, decorated with lace or bright unusual patches. On the stand you can stick stones, shells and artificial flowers. This element of the topiary is a semantic continuation of the crown, so its design should be based on existing elements of the decorative product. If the tree is decorated in a marine style, then shells and multi-colored pebbles will be appropriate, and for a topiary in a romantic style, lace and hearts from colored paper will be needed. The size of the crown of the tree should be larger than its stand, so that the composition looks harmonious.
Wood Workshops
Doing it yourself is easy.You do not need to have an artistic taste or an education of a designer. The ideal tree of happiness is decorated intuitively from the available materials. There are many workshops on the Internet on this topic, some of which are presented below, but you should not follow these instructions step by step. According to Feng Shui, the topiary quickly and effectively activates any sector of the apartment or house, instantly filling it with the necessary energy. But for proper operation it must be decorated with the necessary elements. To normalize family relationships, jasper or amazonite should be glued to the topiary stand. To climb the career ladder will help a tree with a tiger's eye, charoite or turquoise. And to improve the general financial situation, you need to decorate the topiary with a jet or a falcon eye.
From coffee beans
For this, the topiary needs to take high-quality large coffee beans and stick them on the base for the crown, spreading the center stripe down. The ball is pasted over completely. To do this, it is better to take an adhesive gun, although you can do without it using ordinary glue from a tube. When the ball is completely sealed, a plastic tube is taken, which is glued along the entire length with double-sided tape, departing from both edges 2-3 cm. Satin ribbon, fabric or corrugated paper of the desired color is glued to the tape. Then you need to dilute the alabaster and pour the resulting mixture into a pot or iron bucket. Then the trunk is inserted into this mixture and they wait until the alabaster hardens. After hardening the mixture, its surface is laid out with coffee beans in 2-3 layers. A finished crown is glued on top of the trunk itself.
The resulting topiary can be decorated with an elegant bow or jewelry.
Of cones
Topiary of cones with their own hands is made according to a similar scheme. Small half-open pine cones with small gaps from each other are glued to the foam ball.If the gaps are too large, they can be filled with acorns or chestnuts. For additional fixation of the elements, you can use golden or brown threads. To make the barrel, you need to put together a few (up to 10) bamboo skewers, wrap them with thick white or brown thread, leaving open areas at the edges of the sticks. Then you need to dilute the alabaster with water or take the finished cement mixture, pour it into a flower pot and insert the tree trunk into the base. When the mixture hardens, it is decorated with needles or sisal, a fully decorated crown of a tree of happiness is attached to the trunk, and the pot is decorated with a satin or openwork ribbon.
From satin ribbons and other fabrics
As a basis for a topiary of satin ribbons, you can take a foam sphere or a ball of crumpled newspapers, fixed with thick threads dipped in PVA glue. Then you need to take satin ribbons of any color, twist them into small rolls, previously bending the ribbons at a right angle. You need to bend the satin ribbon several times until its length ends. As a result of these actions, a rose bud should be obtained. At the end of production, it is necessary to flash all the petals with a thin silk thread at the base. The number of such roses is determined by the size of the base. Usually 20-30 flowers are required. Then they decorate the crown of the topiary. As a trunk for such a tree, you can take an ordinary twig, and use a clay flower pot for the stand. The stand and trunk of the tree should be decorated with elegant green leaves of satin ribbons or silk.
From corrugated paper
First you need to take a round foam ball. Then you need to make roses from corrugated paper. If they are very large, then between the flowers there will be a lot of free space that will need to be closed with something, so it is better to make these roses medium. One small topiary will need 35-45 roses.To do this, it is better to take paper in different colors, in order to further alternate the shades of roses on the topiary. The trunk for the tree of happiness can be made from traditional chopsticks for sushi, and as a soil, take a regular polystyrene. Alabaster is difficult to make, and polystyrene is easy to find. Only the barrel into the foam base needs to be inserted the first time. At the same time, it is necessary to decorate the crown by gluing roses in a chaotic manner. Then the crown is attached to the trunk and the topiary is considered ready. If desired, the soil in the pot is laid out with artificial grass, and the trunk of the tree is decorated with a bright bow.
Marine Topiary
The sea tree of happiness can be made from materials brought from the sea: pebbles, shells, dried crabs and pearls. They should paste over the base for the crown of the topiary. If there are not many shells and pebbles, the space between them can be decorated with sisal, artificial starfish and crafts made from salt dough on a marine theme. When performing the topiary trunk, it is better to take sushi sticks decorated with satin ribbons of white, blue or sand color. As a stand for the tree of happiness, you should take a white flower pot, which can be decorated with artificial pearls, lace and small figures from salt dough. Inside this pot you need to fill in with alabaster and insert the topiary trunk into this alabaster mixture. Sisal fibers, sea pebbles and shells can be placed on top of the frozen fill.
Money topiary made of coins and notes
This topiary is usually made of counterfeit notes, but for the surroundings you can attach real coins to the tree crown or stand. Of course, it is better to use not ordinary, but rare, ancient or foreign coins. To begin with, each bill must be folded in half, slightly moving the edges, and then fold the envelope out of it, fixing the uneven edges with double-sided tape. The number of notes depends on the size of the base ball, but traditionally about 20-25 notes are required.The trunk of a money tree can be made from twigs or sticks for sushi, and take a cache-pot as a stand. The cache-pot from the outside can be decorated with special self-adhesive paper with the image of money or lace. Alabaster is poured into the pot itself, a trunk is placed in it and waiting for its drying. After this, the topiary soil is laid out with coins, sawdust of wood or decorative icamines.
From dried flowers and fresh flowers
A tree of dried flowers is quite simple. You can decorate the base for the crown of topiary with dried flowers and yellowed leaves, but the flowers and leaves taken for these purposes must be strong and dense, otherwise they just fall apart during work. Dried flowers are fixed directly to the foam ball. As a trunk, they take a curved twig from the street, and an ordinary clay pot turns into a stand. The pot inside is filled with alabaster, previously fixing the topiary trunk. This trunk is inserted into the finished crown of the tree, and the dried alabaster is decorated with dry leaves and flowers. Topiary made from fresh flowers is usually created by professional florists, but you can try to make it at home yourself. To do this, take rose buds, chamomile, lily or chrysanthemum flowers, correctly and carefully cut their stems and attach to the crown base. Otherwise, the methodology for producing a tree of happiness and decoration of a pot for a topiary is similar to its manufacture from dried flowers.
Beads, rhinestones and other crystals in the manufacture of wood
Before you start making topiary, you need to draw a diagram and a picture. The crown of a tree of happiness can be an ordinary multi-colored ball or a combination of unusual textured products. The beads are very small, so it does not attach to the crown base one thing at a time. For this, a thin wire thread is taken, on which beads of a certain color and texture are put on.The wire is strong and can independently hold its shape, so that the top of the topiary can be turned into a whole flower garden of bead weaves. Rhinestones are also attached to the base of the crown on the ribbon. Beads and rhinestones should be decorated with a tree trunk (ordinary chopsticks for sushi) and a stand. As a stand, you can take an elegant flower pot, an iron bucket, a large stone or just a gypsum mass on a grate, then painted in the desired color. Then the pot for the topiary should be decorated with beads.
Making bonsai tree
Bonsai is an oriental art of growing decorated miniature copies of real trees. For growing in the form of a bonsai hawthorn, pomegranate, calamondin, etc. are suitable. But for the manufacture, rather than growing a decorative tree, it is better to collect or buy hydrangea inflorescences. The collected inflorescences need to be dried well for 5-6 hours. Then the hydrangea flowers need to be fixed on separate branches and snags, which are suppressed on the opposite side by a foam ball. These snags can be replaced with a three-wire cable. Then, in a container prepared under the tree (salad bowl, ashtray, pot), you need to carefully pour the gypsum. Then you need to put the bonsai base in the middle of the pot and fix the resulting composition with a mixture of gypsum and PVA (the consistency of thick sour cream), while fixing the trunk and branches. After that, you need to dry the entire structure within 24 hours. After a day, you need to paint the tree trunk with acrylic paint or ocher.
After drying, you can decorate the bonsai with green decorative elements.
Conclusion
Do-it-yourself decorative trees can decorate any interior. They can be made from any improvised materials: threads, satin ribbons, cones or shells. Also, trees of happiness are made from fresh flowers, but similar compositions are not always obtained from lay people. Usually they are made by florists for weddings.Indeed, when they are designed, it is required not only to firmly fix the crown of the tree of happiness, but also to properly prepare the flowers used. If you cut the flower incorrectly or arrange it with an unfriendly plant for it, then it will quickly fade, and the topiary will lose its stylish appearance.
