Any home would be incomplete without cute little oneslittle things that create coziness and a special atmosphere. You can decorate your home with a variety of things and ways. Some people prefer a rustic style, others like high-tech or modern. And some mix several styles and get an amazing and original cocktail. There are so many interior accessories for decor that there is something special for everyone. Recently, topiary has become increasingly popular - small decorative items in the form of a tree with a geometrically correct crown shape. Initially, topiary appeared as a direction in landscape design. Trees with a beautifully trimmed crown have been known since the times of Ancient Rome. It is from there that the name of this decorative element came to us. Topiaries were special slave gardeners who had to look after the topiary - a separate section of the garden with trimmed trees. In modern design, a completely different topiary is used. It does not need trimming, watering and other agricultural concerns. This decorative element is not a copy of any existing tree. Craftswomen make beautiful and original topiaries that decorate homes from a variety of available materials: ribbons, coffee beans, beads, sisal, paper and many others. There are no general requirements for topiary. The shape of the crown can have absolutely any geometrically correct form, and the fittings and materials are left to the choice of the craftswoman herself. The topiary can be placed on the floor, decorate a table or a bookshelf. It will perfectly replace live plants, because all care comes down to periodic dusting. In addition, a wide selection of materials of various colors, shades and textures will allow you to choose this decorative element for almost any room setting. In this article, we suggest making several beautiful topiaries.

First, you need to make a hole in the tennis ball. Dip one end of the stick in glue, or just cover it with glue and insert it into the hole. Wait until it driesHow to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors. Photo # 2Mix the alabaster with water until it reaches the desired consistency.thick sour cream. Now we take our container, pour alabaster into it and insert the blank with the ball. There should be another three - four centimeters of space from the alabaster to the edge of the pot. We leave it until it hardens completely, having made supports in advance so that the blank stands level. While our base dries, we begin to make roses from ribbons. We take a ribbon 2.5 cm wide and place it with the shiny side away from us. Now we fold the right end into a triangle so that the edge of the ribbon looks down and the shiny side becomes visible. We fold the lower right corner to the left and make a tube with another turn to the left. We bend the free edge of the ribbon so that we get a triangle with a shiny side and turn the tube to the left again. Here you need to use a needle and thread to secure the core of the future rose. We continue to bend and twist the ribbon, periodically stitching the winding. We make petals until a small tail remains. It needs to be secured with a needle and thread.How to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors.

Pins are great for temporary fastening. When you have decided on the locations of the flowers, you can plant them on glue. Wait until they dry. We also need to decorate our stick with a ribbon, on which the topiary “grows”. The beginning and end of the ribbon that we will wrap it with must be glued.How to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors. Photo №7Now let's start decorating the pot,stem, etc. in our pot or cup, stepping back from the top edge a couple of cm, we make neat holes at an equal distance from each other in a circle. Now we take the silver fabric and cut out a circle from it. The radius of the circle should be larger than the value from the center of the bottom of the pot to its top edge by a few cm. Sew along the contour of our fabric with a thread. Try it on, the threads should go above the edge of the pot, if you put it in the center. We place the pot in the circle, lift the fabric and tighten it. We wrap the free edges inside the pot. Now we do two things at once - we decorate the pot with sequins and sew the edges of the fabric. To do this, we pass a needle and thread through the holes that were pierced earlier.How to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors.

Before we start creating a topiary, weyou will need to make a base for the future crown. To do this, inflate the balloon, grease it with something greasy, such as cream, and wrap it with cotton threads, previously soaked in PVA glue. If the glue is very thick, you can dilute it with a little water. Now you need to wait until the glue dries completely. This can take from 24 to 48 hours, depending on the size of the workpiece and the thickness of the winding. Now deflate the balloon, and our base for the crown is ready.How to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors.

Photo Number 14Now let's get started with the satin rosesribbons. We need to cut the cardboard into square pieces measuring 3 x 3 cm and 5 x 5 cm. The cardboard should be thick. Now we need to embroider something like a snowflake with threads. The number of "rays" should be odd. In the center, we need to make a hole without catching the threads, such that we can thread the ribbon. We begin to roll the rose. To do this, we thread the ribbon through the hole, twist it a little and thread it through one of the "rays", twist it again, etc. (see photo). To make it easier to work, use a crochet hook. Do not tighten the ribbon too much. Free coils look more floral, voluminous and organic. Now we need to thread the end of the ribbon through the central hole to the wrong side. Sew the ends of the ribbons. Cut the cardboard so that it is not noticeable from the face. We glue a couple of leaves and the rose is ready.How to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors.

The first stage is preparing the petals.To do this, cut the ribbons into squares. The edge sides of the ribbon should be the right and left sides of the squares, and the top and bottom should be cut off. You can first cut out a pattern from paper, then stack several squares and cut out many blanks at once. Melt the rounded side on top over the fire so that the petal bends a little with the front shiny side outward. For one flower, on average, you need 9 - 13 petals.How to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors.

Take the third petal, drip glue again on the shiny outer side and wrap our workpiece in it. The petals go in a checkerboard pattern, i.e., the edges of the previous one are covered by the middle of the next one. Glue all the flowers in this way.How to make your own hands a topira with a satin ribbon decor, step-by-step photos of making topiary with the use of different techniques for creating colors.
