There are many ways to make it, for this you can use real money of various denominations, you can make a picture from old money or even from money printed on a printer. How to make a painting out of money with your own hands for a wedding or birthday?

Making a picture out of money

For the picture you will need a photo frame, but the execution can be very different.

Painting-ship

You can make an excellent picture of money for a wedding with your own hands if you make it in the shape of a ship.

Important! It is best to glue all the details of the picture with double-sided tape - it holds perfectly, but if desired, the bills can be easily removed without damage.

How to make a picture of money for a wedding in the form of a ship? The background for the ship will be excerpts from geographical maps:

1. Choose your favorite pieces from the geographic atlas and cut them out. There should be so many of them that the entire area of ​​the frame is covered.
2. Now this geographical background needs to be aged. This can be done using matches. To do this, use a match to set fire to the edges of the card and, without letting the paper flare up, extinguish it.
3. If you want to get burnt marks on the card, you need to hold it over a burning match, preventing the fire from burning through the paper.
4. Place the aged pieces of the card on the cardboard from the photo frame and glue them in the desired order with double-sided tape.
5. Now you need to assemble a ship from banknotes. We assemble the first tier of the ship from two bills. To do this, you need to bend each bill lengthwise, bend the bill across on one side, bend it at an angle on the other side, and combine both bills together, placing one inside the other.
6. The second tier of the ship consists of one bill, which must be folded lengthwise and bent at an angle on both edges.
7. We insert the second tier into the first.
8. Now we need to make the mast. We twist the bill into a tube and glue the end with double-sided tape. You need two of these tubes.
9. We make sails. We fold the bill in half, then bend it into a triangle, and fold the excess back. We need three such sails.
10. Now we assemble our picture, attaching the details of the ship to the map with double-sided tape.
11. To decorate the rest of the picture, we use coins of different denominations, which we also attach to double-sided tape and decorate with twine, placing it randomly on the card. You can add your own touches. For example, put a compass if you have one.
12. When the composition is ready, cover it with glass and insert it into a frame.

Other options for paintings made from money:

• You can make a tree out of coins, make leaves out of banknotes, decorate it with ribbons made from banknotes, and plant butterflies and fancy birds on the branches.
• Place the bills on the cardboard away from the frame, chaotically but beautifully. Well, then you need to carefully glue them to the cardboard.

Important! You don’t even have to glue it, but just grab it - apply the glue pointwise. The main thing is that the bills are only slightly fixed on the cardboard, because they will still be pressed against the glass.

• For the newlyweds, you can make a picture using banknotes of various currencies. It is better to choose bills and coins of different denominations and sizes - this will make it more interesting and original. Such a picture can be accompanied by a wish for the bride and groom: “So that the young family has the opportunity to visit all the countries of the world whose currencies are in the picture!”
• You can make origami out of money or an applique. Banknotes of different sizes make excellent images of butterflies and bows, leaves and flowers, graceful birds and swans.
• You can lay out a picture exclusively with coins - it will turn out beautifully, especially if after gluing them you cover them with varnish.

Important! You can glue coins using double-sided tape or a glue gun.

Method No. 7 – Decorative cake

Is everything wrong? Then look at how unusual it is to give money for a wedding. Then make a money cake for your wedding day; the newlyweds will definitely love it.

• Prepare a round cardboard base.
• Now carefully roll the bills into a tube, then lay them out in three rows.
• Next, you need to tie the “layers” with ribbon, and decorate the cake with flowers (think about the design in advance). The gift as a gift will undoubtedly surprise and delight you. Don’t forget to say congratulatory words upon presentation. You can prepare such a surprise for your sister, girlfriend or friends.

On a note:

You can make a ship in the same way.

A detailed description of creating a decorative wedding cake is presented in the video tutorial.

Or give a “money cake with wishes”!

• You need to print and cut out a template for one segment of the cake (we will use it as a template). Trace this template on colored sheets of thick cardboard (preferably double-sided), in total you need 12 blank segments of the future cake.
• Using a non-writing pen and ruler, draw strips along the dotted lines to bend the cardboard more evenly.
• On the square, where there will be a gap (for closing), cut this very gap with a stationery knife along the marked line, so that later this piece of cake can be closed.
• Apply glue to the “allowances” of the workpiece and glue well. Do not glue the entrance to the “piece of cake”; we will put wishes and mini-gifts there.
• Decorate each resulting piece of cake at your discretion, it can be sparkles, flowers made of satin ribbons, buttons, beads.

Place pre-printed wishes for the newlyweds in each piece of cake.

1. A trip to the sea (you can additionally put small seashells in a piece of cake);
2. Prosperity and abundance (here we put the most important gift - money);
3. Sweet daughter (you can put tiny baby booties, socks or a pink pacifier);
4. Four sons (here you can place 4 keychains depicting: a soccer ball, a basketball ball, a tennis ball, an American football ball);
5. Good luck (you can put lottery tickets here) ;
6. Love (candle in the shape of a heart);
7. Health (vitamins from the pharmacy);
8. Sweet life (candies, you can fill the whole box with M&M's);
9. Many true friends (write the phone numbers of mutual friends and laminate them; or make a paper garland of people);
10. Lots of energy and vigor (put in the energizer batteries);
11. Happy family holidays (pipe with a spinning tube, balloons, confetti, streamers);
12. Golden wedding (50 years) diamond wedding (60 years) (image of a Swarovski bar or stones).

When all the cake pieces are filled, place them on a tray or wooden plate (available at Ikea) and tie them with satin ribbon to prevent them from moving apart. Place the plate itself in a transparent gift bag and tie it with a huge bow.

Carpet made of money

You can make more than just paintings out of money. A monetary gift in the form of a beautifully designed carpet will not leave anyone indifferent. But creating it requires patience and time, as well as a case made of transparent material and banknotes of different denominations:

1. The cover is carefully stitched so that each banknote has its own compartment.
2. A large photograph of the newlyweds fills the middle of the carpet.
3. Money is placed around it - you can use real money, or you can simply use colored, printed or purchased bills.

Important! In addition to banknotes, you can place images of cities and vacation spots that young people would like to visit.

Bow for a man's gift

It is quite possible to give a gift with a bow to the recipient of the stronger sex, but the decoration should not look overly feminine. It is appropriate to make a bow from grosgrain ribbon

, more rigid and holding its shape well. This will allow us to give more strict and clear lines to our product, but we must remember that grosgrain ribbons do not drape well, and their knots turn out to be bulky. You need to know one trick on how to make a bow for a gift from a grosgrain ribbon: you don’t need to tie it at all. Let's arm ourselves with sharp scissors and thread to match the future bow.

A horizontal bow is made from a piece of grosgrain ribbon folded into a ring. It should be flattened so that two loops are formed. The middle is tightened with thread. From the ribbon you need to cut out separately two “tips” of the bow and a small strip for a ring that will cover the place of the tie with thread. It is convenient to glue the edges of the ring with polyethylene hot glue or carefully sew it together. The seam remains on the bottom of the bow; the “ends” are also glued or hemmed there.

It is not necessary to make a bow in the classical sense for a man's gift. Creativity is always welcome

Helpful information!

We create a gift for loved ones with our own hands

A grosgrain bow for a man's gift can be complicated by choosing a design with four loops. Then take two large rings of tape and fold them crosswise at a slight angle to each other. They should be covered by a common ring. It is clear that such a bow may not have ends at all. You can also make only two instead of the four laid ones: after all, they are cut out separately.

Money Tree

Quite often, a money tree is given as a wedding gift, which can be made not only from banknotes, but also from coins:

• The easiest way is to cut out a tree from hard cardboard and sew or glue bills and change onto it. Cardboard can be covered with fabric, which is decorated with embroidery or appliqués.
• You can also attach banknotes to a real tree - for this it is best to purchase a small decorative tree.
• You can build a tree yourself from wire and beads, and fill the pot in which it stands with coins of different denominations.
• A great option is to make tree leaves or flowers from banknotes.

Important! A combined bouquet of money and sweets would be an interesting monetary gift. A great way to wish the newlyweds or the birthday boy a sweet and rich life.

Award ceremony

The gift has been purchased, packaged - now all that remains is to present it to the birthday person at the highest level. How to beat a birthday gift? We will share with you the brightest and most impressive ideas for congratulations and gift giving.

The effect of surprise

If the celebration involves a walking walk, then you can’t help but take advantage of it:

1. Ask the birthday person to check the mailbox
   - a gift may be waiting for him there, as well as a large congratulations poster on his door. In the summer, a large congratulatory collage drawn with chalk may appear at the entrance of the hero of the occasion, and in winter - a congratulatory snowman.

1. Having previously agreed with different people with whom the birthday person is not familiar, ask them to intersect with you at different times (if you are walking in a park or city center, then this will not be difficult to do). What is required from strangers is to say a few kind words and give symbolic gifts - a flower, a small card, and from you - to carefully pretend that you have nothing to do with it.

By the way, many people carry out such an operation on social networks: they ask strangers to call or write to the birthday boy and congratulate him. But we still advise you to involve your friends in such a flash mob, so as not to meet with fans of hard “pranks”.

1. Playing with the same idea with strangers, you can persuade them to gather in a group
   , suddenly surround your celebrating group and start singing a congratulatory song.
2. Do you know a police officer?
   Wonderful! “By chance” meet him while walking (naturally, the hero should not be familiar with the birthday boy). Next is a document check, which turns into an unexpected present for the hero of the occasion. And the mysterious policeman, as if nothing had happened, walks off into the sunset

In such an “accidental” congratulation, you can also involve animators, street performers, artists, DJs and waiters, having previously provided them with gifts for your hero of the occasion.

The courier is here!

For many, it is already a tradition to deliver unexpected gifts by courier. Particularly good in this version are a bunch of huge balloons, a luxurious bouquet, a basket of sweets or exotic fruits (see). At the holiday agency you can order a visit from an unusual courier.

Let's share the most win-win options:

1. Courier life-size doll
   . In some agencies, an animator comes to congratulate you, and in some you can rent such a costume. This is not only an unusual congratulation, but also a fun photo session with a funny character.

1. Animator in character.
   It all depends on what roles are available in a given event agency - a dude, a gangster, a ballerina, a catwoman, an angel and a demon, a cartoon character, a hero from a movie, etc.

1. Tropical butterflies
   . Such a congratulation will certainly delight the fair sex. The courier asks to open the box - and the birthday boy’s home is transformed into a magical hall.

Show

A bright, colorful, explosive congratulation (its price, of course, in some examples is not symbolic, but if you divide it between a friendly company, the amount will not be too catastrophic):

1. A small gift (decoration, envelope with money, certificate) can be placed in a special surprise ball. At the crucial moment it explodes, and the birthday boy finds himself among a scattering of streamers, small balls, confetti, and leaves of congratulations. His task is to find his gift in all this madness.

1. A soap bubble show, a sand show, and “Fun Chemistry” can impress not only the little but also the adult hero of the occasion - after all, at heart we remain children, and a birthday is the best reason to remember this.

1. A gypsy choir, a performance by a magician (who, by the way, will “conjure” your gifts), a fire show (if you are celebrating outdoors and in the evening), a vocal performance, a performance by a saxophonist - all this is available today, you just need to contact an event agency.

That's all we wanted to tell you about how to arrange a birthday gift and how to organize its delivery and congratulations to the birthday person in a memorable way. We hope that our tips will help you give a gift that the hero of the occasion will remember with a smile and warmth in his soul.

Bank with money

As Soviet films taught us: “Keep your savings in the bank.” So you can also offer a jar, but a glass one. This is the easiest way to decorate a gift in an original and not trivial way. It does not require large investments, just a few bills and the desire to please your friends. But what size the jar will be and what will be waiting inside is entirely your prerogative:

• You can take a three-liter jar and prepare a lot of small bills.
• You can fill it with fake money mixed with real money so that young people can look for it.
• Another non-standard option is to order toy banknotes with images of young people. And cover the jar with wishes for a happy life and advice that you can now store “cabbage” here, since this “bank” is the most reliable bank in the world.
• Most often, cucumbers are pickled in jars, so you can pickle money cucumbers - wrap each bill in green paper.

Humorous options

Do you want to surprise and impress your hero of the day? Give him a bag of money. These may be large denomination iron coins. Or small 10- and 50-ruble bills. Even 1000 rubles look respectable in such a pack.

On the bag, if you are preparing a wedding present, be sure to write or embroider the names of the newlyweds. Ancient protective symbolism will fill the fabric with additional meanings and make your gift even more pleasant. It is also customary to give newlyweds money chests, where they then collect bills from all the numerous guests: both for future children and for purchases for a new home.

A variation of this idea would be a real golden shower. It is enough to place the birthday person in the center of the room, ask him to close his eyes, stand next to him on a stool and at the climax moment literally shower him with money.

Do you want to cheer up your hero of the day? Then take an ordinary three-liter jar, put the required amount into it (don’t forget about the small change) and roll it up with a tight tin lid. Don't forget to add congratulations and words that this is a special savings bank. Or tell us that its contents are from your own dacha, without nitrates and saltpeter, and therefore will benefit your health.

In the same topic, you can develop the ideas for preparations and write the corresponding label: “Dried greens” or “Cabbage, pickled in its own juice.” In general, use all your imagination here.

Another humorous option is a photo frame with banknotes. The options with a hammer attached and the inscription: “Break if necessary” already seem a little bearded. But if you say that in this frame there are photographs of your best friends, especially if the bills are in the form of dollars with the image of American presidents, then you are guaranteed cheerful smiles on the faces of all the guests.

On the postcard you can write a converted poem with the words that girls’ best friends are presidents, or even sing this song yourself.

The next original idea is money stuck in an inflated balloon. The main thing is to warn the person that there is a pleasant surprise inside, and this is the only air that is very expensive.

You can play on another popular name for money. We all know that they are called "cabbage", so the most logical thing to do is to put them in a huge cabbage. Cut it in half and remove the core from the bottom.

However, do not forget that cabbage is a fairly juicy vegetable, so be sure to place banknotes in waterproof packaging. Then we return the top part of the head of cabbage to its place (you can additionally secure the cuts with skewers) and pack it in transparent film.

The same can be done with a jar of sauerkraut, the main thing is to think about the waterproofing.

If you are a rare craftsman and have the necessary equipment, then you can take an ordinary brick, divide it in half, make a depression in the center and put your gold coins or a wad of dollars into it. There is no need to glue it too tightly so that the birthday boy can get to his treasure without any problems. But imagine his surprise when you give him this gift and tell him that this is the most expensive brick on the planet.

In fact, you can hide money in anything. It could be a loaf of bread or a loaf, a huge pineapple, a bottle with messages from an unknown traveler. Your task is to play with this idea in an original way so that everyone has fun.

Also try making a cake out of banknotes. The main thing is to roll them into identical rolls and secure them with ribbons. Then we put everything on a round shape, decorate it with ribbons, flowers and other bright decor. Such a cake consisting of several tiers will look especially realistic.

If you find a suitable box at the pharmacy, the name of the drug on which can be interpreted in a double sense, you can implement another interesting idea. For example, a medicine called “Vitamins for the eyes” will be an excellent container for banknotes. If the birthday boy has a good sense of humor, then you can even invest the banknotes in a means to improve potency.

And a really crazy idea would be a roll of toilet paper, on the back of which you carefully attach money. In such cases, do not forget to warn that the gift contains additional surprises. So that the roll does not end up on the mezzanine and is not discovered only after the next inflation or denomination.

That's all for today, my dears! As you can see: giving even such banal gifts as cash can be not only beautiful and unusual, but also humorous. Having spent very little time on packaging, you will be recommended as a guest with the most unusual approach. And I will always help you with ideas and their implementation. Be sure to visit the blog again. It will be more interesting next!

The first thing you need to take care of is packaging. The modern industry offers a lot of options - it’s worth going to a gift boutique or florist shop.

• all kinds of paper for packaging: plain, colored, shiny, with thematic designs;
• fabric bags of various materials and design solutions;
• polyethylene packaging - plain, transparent, with a printed pattern;
• boxes of various sizes and designs - drawings, embossing, varnishing, etc.
• wicker baskets, wooden and plastic boxes, paper and plastic bags.

Advice! If you are invited to a name day with someone you know superficially, opt for modest options: a stylish plain package, a box of dull matte or “newsprint” paper, wrapped in decorative twine. But when decorating gifts for loved ones, turn on your creativity at full power.

To each his own: choosing a color scheme

Before you start choosing packaging, let us introduce you to another important point - color:

Advice! When choosing gold or silver packaging, make sure that it is in moderation - separate inserts, ribbons. Otherwise, the packaging will look flashy and vulgar. For men, choose strict tones, for women - gentle ones, echoing spectacular bright inserts, for little birthday boys - cartoonish, colorful, but not offensive to the eye design.
