1. From an ordinary newspaper, by crumpling it, we form a ball of the size we need, I have this ball with a diameter of 10 cm.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №12. We wrap our ball with threads.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo # 23.We select a stick that is suitable in length and width. Don't forget that the bottom of the stick will be completely in the pot, so you need to take this length into account. I use dry poplar sticks; it’s easy to remove dry bark from them and, despite their small size, they are always very textured with different protrusions. We don’t throw away the husks from the bark; we will need them later.We make the topiary with our own hands. Picture №34. Use a utility knife to dig a hole so that our stick can fit into it.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №45. Fill the hole with Moment Crystal glue.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №56. Insert the stick and wait until the glue dries completely.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №67. Then coat the entire ball well with PVA glue.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №78. Wrap threads around the top again to give it a more round shape. We wait for the glue to dry.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №89. Pour plaster into the pot and insert our tree. We hold the trunk until the gypsum hardens a little, wait for the gypsum to dry completely (the drying time should be indicated on the packaging with the gypsum).We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo Number 910.We paint the tree with bronze acrylic paint in one or two layers – See for yourself how the paint applies; if you do several layers, you must completely dry the previous one before applying another one. Then we cover the tree trunk with gley glitter with sparkles to match the color of the paint.We make the topiary with our own hands. Picture №1011. Now we begin to design the crown of the tree.We cut out a circle with a diameter of 6 cm from chocolate-colored artificial silk, from brown artificial silk a circle with a diameter of 6 cm, from white mesh a circle with a diameter of 6 cm, from light brown artificial silk 2 circles with a diameter of 5 cm, from brown mesh a circle with a diameter of 5 cm, from beige chiffon circle with a diameter of 3 cm, from milk artificial silk a circle with a diameter of 3 cm, from gold mesh a circle with a diameter of 3 cm. We will need this number of petals to make one flower, and for the whole tree we will need 17 flowers, multiply the number of petals accordingly and immediately prepare them for the whole tree. If your crown is more than 10 cm in diameter (and not like mine) then you may need more flowers.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo Number 1112. Using tweezers, burn the edges of the petals over the candle.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo number 1213. We assemble the flower, first a chocolate petal and sew one or two stitches in the middle from a white mesh.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №1314. Then we sew a brown petal on top.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo Number 1415. Next are two petals of light brown color and made of brown mesh.We make the topiary with our own hands.

And on top is a petal made of gold mesh.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo number 1718. Sew a bead and seed beads into the center.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo Number 1819. Do this for all 17 colors.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo Number 1920. Now we begin to tie a bow from a thin beige organza ribbon. To do this, we put a ribbon on the index and middle fingers, holding the tip with the thumb and ring fingers.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo number 2021. Wrap the ribbon around your fingers twice (you can do more, then the bow will be fluffier).We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo Number 2122. At the last turn, we thread the tape between the fingers.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo Number 2223. We wrap this ribbon around the wound ribbons in the middle and insert the end into the loop.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo # 2324. Tighten the knot.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo # 2425. Cut off the tip, remove the bow from the fingers and straighten it, treat the ends with a lighter.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №2526. So we make 4 light bows and 4 dark ones.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №2627. We will make more bows from a thin beige satin ribbon.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №2728. We tie a bow in the usual way, but so that the ends remain long; it’s good if one is a little longer than the other.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №2829. This is how we make 4 bows.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №2930. We begin to collect the crown.

Glue the second one at the base, close to the stick.We make the topiary with our own hands. Picture №3132. Now we glue two flowers between them.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №3233. We do the same on the opposite side. We have a ring of flowers around the ball.We make the topiary with our own hands. Picture №3334. Now we make such a ring perpendicular to the existing one.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №3435. And we glue the four remaining flowers onto the free spaces.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo number 3536. Glue 4 light organza bows around the top flower.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo number 3637. At the bottom, around the flowers that are near the stick, we glue dark bows.We make the topiary with our own hands. Picture №3738. Glue bows with long tails on top of the dark bows.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №3839. Tie a fluffy bow from a dark organza ribbon.We make the topiary with our own hands. Photo №3940.
