Topiary made of cotton wool

Many women love when the house has all sorts of nice little things. Beautiful frames, unusual candles, lovely trinkets - all this allows us to decorate our apartment. Some needlewomen can not only buy all these things, but also do handmade crafts. For example, a tree of topiary made by itself is very beautiful.

For the tree crown, you can use all sorts of materials: corrugated paper , coffee beans , pasta , organza , satin ribbons , etc. You can also make a topiary made of cottonwoods.

Tree of topiary made of cotton wool with own hands

For crafting you will need:

For a basis it is possible to take the crumpled paper, a rubber or plastic ball. For the barrel a pencil, a branch or any other stick is useful. It is better to have in its kit an adhesive gun and super glue.

Let's consider a method of manufacturing a tree from wadded disks.

  1. We take a cotton pad.
  2. Bend the edges, it turns out like a tube, one edge should be already different.
  3. Where the party is already, we tie it with a white thread (that was in color with the material). If possible, you can use a stapler.
  4. We turn out a wide edge, and we get a rose. Everything is very easy - from the narrow edge turned out the core, and from the wide petal. We continue to do so to the right amount.
  5. When the roses are ready they need to be glued on the ball. You can take a ball from the children's dry pool, and you can do yourself - crumble paper or newspaper and wrap threads. We insert the barrel and fix it with glue. Now you can glue roses, do it carefully, gluing them tightly to each other so that there are no visible gaps. In the roses you can paste the leaves (cutting them out of crepe paper), so the tree will look more alive and beautiful. For greater effect we decorate with beads, pearls, rhinestones, ribbons, shell from nuts and all that comes to your mind.
  6. Now we have to plant our tree in a pot. You can take from under the flowers or from under the candlestick, but you can also do it yourself. For example, take a jar of sour cream, pour in a cast, fill with water, insert a tree and wait until the gypsum hardens.
  7. While the gypsum will harden, you need to decorate the trunk, all the same to your imagination. The pot itself can be decorated with a cloth or other material that you like.
  8. As a result, you get a beautiful tree, which you can decorate an apartment, and also give such souvenirs to the wedding and housewarming. Such a topiary from the cotton discs is also called the "tree of happiness".
