How to make a fabulous tree with your own hands. How to grow a magic tree with your own hands? We are updating the apartment. How to make a fabulous house with your own hands: step by step photos

Whom now, in the era of globalization, will you surprise with the Eastern traditions of growing trees in flower pots? If you don’t have the patience to do this for several decades, then you can simply buy such a plant at the nearest flower shop. But the article will focus on an unusual tree, a tree with secrets.

You can make a magic tree for your child, or maybe for yourself, with your own hands. This idea came to me when I leafed through one of the magazines about the interior. Very interesting, creative solutions for arranging an apartment can sometimes be found in popular publications. The most interesting thing is that you can do a lot with your own hands, with a minimum of skills, tools and materials.

I do not claim authorship, I will only tell you how one such idea can be realized - to “grow” an unusual tree in an apartment. This is a tree-hanger, a tree-chest, a tree - a meeting place for children's clothes, which usually "walk" around the house.

I'll start by listing the necessary materials and tools. Materials: plywood 10 mm thick, two wooden blocks 20x30 mm, bolts 6 mm with nuts, screws, small furniture hinges, coat hooks, a piece of iron or aluminum sheet, a rope made of natural fiber, paint. Tools: electric jigsaw, electric drill, wrenches or pliers, screwdriver, sandpaper, brushes for painting the product. In my opinion, a little.

We cut out the crown and trunk from plywood. You can not buy plywood, but pick up suitable pieces from old furniture, as I actually did. I tried to depict an apple tree with a rounded crown. If your pieces of plywood are oblong, then you can make poplar or cypress. In my tree, the trunk is tall and allows the tree to “grow” over time by rearranging the crown to the next attachments up relative to the trunk.

Tree back view

For the strength of the structure, wooden bars are installed from the back side along the trunk. The stability of the tree is provided by roots extending from the trunk to the sides, and an additional root directed forward. Near one of the roots, a pretty snail “creeps”. The extension root is made of plywood and is hinged so that it can be folded if necessary.

Decorative elements (birds and nest)

Decorative elements, and these are birds, a nest and apples, are also cut out of plywood. The figurines are simple and cut by hand with a pencil, with minor adjustments. If you can't, ask your child. After all, no matter how believable thrushes or woodpeckers will look on your tree, the tree is magical. An apple is even easier. The petiole on which it hangs, the branch on which the birds sit is a clothes hook. We drill holes in the nest along the office, through which we lace the rope, depicting the interlacing of branches.

You can hang clothes not only on hooks, but also on decorative elements that are attached at a distance from the main plane of the crown. To do this, a small bar 2x2x2 cm is placed under the decorative element or a piece sawn off from the handle of a shovel 2 cm long. The fastening bolts pass through the decorative element and the center of the bar. For large elements, two or three bars are installed.

secret hollow

There is a secret hollow in my tree where you can put the children's "jewels". The hollow is carved in the trunk, and its cover is slightly larger than the hollow itself. The size of the hole must be calculated so that the child's hand can easily crawl through. The lid rotates around the bolt in the upper part, on which it hangs. On the reverse side of the tree, so that the “jewels” do not spill out, we fasten a box of sheet aluminum with screws.

We process all the details of the tree with sandpaper and paint in the appropriate colors. We put the finished product near the wall. It will not fall back, under its own weight and the weight of the clothes it will lean forward a little. In front, our tree holds an additional root. The finished tree-hanger can easily withstand 20 kg of clothes (tested by 2 years of operation). Bags, handbags, backpacks, toys and so on are hung on it.

My tree grew suddenly, on the night before my daughter's birthday. Joy knew no bounds. But now, after more than two years of operation, my daughter and wife cannot imagine where to put all the clothes that are now “growing” on our apple tree. And the daughter's favorite toys and jewelry are stored in the hollow.

Here is such a magical tree growing in our house. Nice and useful. In conclusion, in spring, flowers bloom on top of apples one morning. They are cut out of white plastic or a thick plastic bag with a yellow circle in the center. Feel like a designer gardener, make a gift for children, and make your apartment happier and more comfortable!

Beautiful fruit topiary will be a great addition to your interior.

According to the theory of Feng Shui, a tree in the house not only brings good luck, but also attracts well-being and prosperity. Since ancient times, it has symbolized the axis of the earth, connecting the Earth and Heaven, the human desire for heights and spiritual harmony. In the mythology of different peoples of the world, there are two key symbols: the Tree of Good and Evil, as well as the Tree of Life. It is no coincidence that crafts in the form of a tree are a favorite subject of needlewomen.

Craftswomen use various artistic techniques, types of applied art to create unique handicrafts: topiary, bonsai, panels, paintings and even unusual installations. Such decorations help to create not only a stylish design, but also to saturate the atmosphere with comfort, warmth and love. Here are some ideas and tutorials that will help you make original and beautiful trees from the simplest materials.

The history of the topiary dates back several centuries, it is constantly evolving, taking on the most unusual forms. Products in this style have a special charm, elegance, grace. It is especially pleasant that creating luxurious gardens, you can fantasize endlessly. We offer beginners to get acquainted with art on the example of simple and interesting master classes.


 Topiary will be both a gift and at the same time a beautiful decoration

Tree of happiness with a crown of ribbons

Decorative topiary can be created from a variety of materials. For a simple flowering tree, you need a Styrofoam ball, which you can buy at the store, a wooden trunk, glue, invisible needles. We will take a clay flower pot as a stand, and we will make a crown from packing tapes.


 Materials for creating a topiary from ribbons

Let's start the process:

  1. Take several patterned packaging tapes in rolls, cut into small pieces, roll each into a ring.
  2. Alternately, we fix the elements on the foam ball with the help of invisibility.
  3. We insert a barrel into the ball, which can be made from a sushi stick. To make the craft look more aesthetic, we wrap the stick with a satin ribbon, securing it at the top and bottom with a couple of drops of super glue.
  4. In a container, dilute the alabaster with water, kneading the batter. We insert the structure into the solution, let it dry.
  5. When the alabaster is dry, cover the surface with fine gravel or glass pebbles.

Instead of ribbons, artificial flowers made of fabric or napkins can act as a crown. On the eve of the holiday on March 8, an elegant topiary will be a wonderful gift for mom, grandmother, girlfriend or colleague.

Ribbon topiary

To make a luxurious decorative tree that will adequately decorate the wedding entourage, you will need cotton pads, a sprig peeled from the bark, pearl beads, and green crepe paper.

Advice: It is not at all necessary to buy foam balls for the base of the topiary every time. A light ball of the correct shape can be made from newspapers, tightly crumpled and giving the ball the correct shape with the help of threads.

Let's start creating a masterpiece:

  • The crown will be entwined with snow-white roses. We will make them from ordinary cotton pads. Roll the disk into a cone, staple the smaller edge, and then straighten the wide edge outward. A white rose blossomed right in the palm of your hand. We make such a number of flowers to completely cover the base.

 We create roses from cotton pads
  • We cover the base with a layer of glue, fix the flowers on the surface. We make sure that there are no gaps left, and the elements are located tightly to each other.
  • At the joints of the roses we glue the beads, and between them we insert green leaves from crepe paper.
  • Using hot glue, glue the base to the trunk. We dilute the gypsum in a pot, insert the structure into the solution.
  • Let's start decorating the base. To hide the plaster surface, you can cover it with a layer of sparkling beads or transparent organza. To give the craft a more elegant and wedding look, we wrap the trunk with a string of beads.

 The process of creating a wedding topiary

Wedding Topiary is a wonderful gift idea for newlyweds, it will become a family talisman, a symbol of love and prosperity.

New Year decoration

 Wonderful New Year's tree - a symbol of the holiday and the fulfillment of desires

Christmas tree cones

Even a child can do such crafts. Creating a whole forest of bright and cheerful Christmas trees will be real fun, an exciting creative process that you can do on a winter evening with the whole family. To work, take thick paper, a roll of colored corrugated paper, glue, pencil, scissors.


 Christmas tree materials

Everything is done simply:

  1. Roll a cone out of cardboard. The formula is this: what size the cone will turn out, this height will be the beautiful Christmas tree.
  2. We cut out two triangles from corrugated paper, the size of which is equal to the height and width of the base, and glue them.
  3. We cut out a circle from cardboard, its diameter is equal to the base of the cone, glue it on top with corrugated paper, making an edge larger in diameter.
  4. Insert a stick-barrel inside the cone, glue the base. We wrap a small piece of flexible wire with paper of the same color and attach the element to the top.
  5. Let's move on to the most creative part - decorating. Decorate our Christmas tree to your liking. You can use beads, appliqué, satin or packing ribbons, New Year's tinsel and everything that fantasy tells.
  6. We will intricately bend the top, hang an elegant Christmas tree toy on it.
  7. Ready for the stand. From the remaining cardboard we roll the ring, cut out the stand, fill it with gypsum mortar and “plant” the Christmas tree.

After the solution has hardened, wrap the stand with beautiful paper or burlap, put miniature gift boxes under the Christmas tree. The original holiday decor is ready to decorate the interior of your home.

Today, many are trying to move away from the classic version - elegant natural pine or spruce, decorated with balls, sparkling tinsel.Do you want to decorate the room in a new way for the New Year holiday? We offer a very unconventional, but incredibly stylish wood wall decor.


 Unusual Christmas tree will surprise your guests

For our installation, we will need several branches of approximately the same thickness, which must first be stripped of bark. You will also need a garland, a star, which can be made in advance from a vine or willow branches with your own hands, as well as a strong rope. Putting together the installation:

  • Prepare the sticks that will become the crown of the Christmas tree. They should be of different sizes, gradually decreasing from the longest to the shortest.
  • We alternately tie all the elements with a rope, like a ladder, fastening the ends of the sticks together. You should get a figure in the form of a pyramid.
  • We leave a loop on top of the structure, for which it is convenient to hang the Christmas tree from a wall or door. Wrap around it with a garland, and attach an asterisk on top.

Stylish installation in eco-style will appeal to everyone who looks at the world creatively. In addition, she does not "steal" precious meters in the room, but no less brightly complements the New Year's interior.

Cherry blossoms

The most popular theme in bead garden art is the seasons.


 Beautiful blooming sakura will give a spring mood

We offer you to create a spring mood with your own hands by making delicate cherry blossoms. The algorithm of work is the following:

  1. We string pink beads onto a thin but strong wire. Then we begin to turn the wire with beads into loops of five beads to make a twig.
  2. Similarly, we prepare several branches. The more elements, the more voluminous and magnificent the crown will turn out.
  3. We begin to wind the branches together, applying one to the other in turn. The result is a figure of a thin tree.
  4. We wrap the sakura trunk with threads, prepare the stand. It can be a small pot in which we breed alabaster with water, insert the craft, wait until the whole structure hardens.
  5. We decorate the meadow. You can put real moss, reindeer moss or artificial sisal.

Fragile and delicate sakura will easily decorate the interior in any style, reminding that spring will come very soon.

Doing bonsai

The art of bonsai is very ancient. Miniature gardens, according to the inventive Japanese, are the personification of longevity, wisdom, give vitality and health. Would you like to have a famous bonsai garden in your home?


 Miniature beaded bonsai trees

We offer an interesting master class on creating an elegant tree from beads. The algorithm is the following:

  • We string green beads on a thin flexible wire. You should get a thread about 2 meters long. Be sure to fix the last bead with a loop so that the beads do not crumble.
  • We begin to wind the bead thread on a stick or pencil, making 4-5 turns. Then we cut off the length, passing the ends of the wire in opposite directions under the beads, as if tying a bow.
  • We tightly tighten the tails of the wire, twist them together, forming a stalk. Similarly, we will prepare about 150 branches.
  • We begin to form tree branches from the elements, gradually intertwining them so that we get the shape of a tree. To prevent the structure from falling apart, we wrap the wire with masking tape.
  • When the structure is ready, it is necessary to coat it with a plaster solution.
  • When the tree is dry, plant it in a pot, paint the trunk and branches with acrylic paint, and fix the surface with varnish.

Advice: Gypsum mortar recipe: mix PVA glue and gypsum in a 1: 1 ratio. The consistency should be moderately liquid. So that the crown of the branches does not get dirty during gypsum, we cover it with cling film. We apply gypsum with a brush, and a simple needle or toothpick will help to create the texture of the bark.

Bonsai are usually decorated with stones, moss, gravel, dry grass and other natural materials. The main rule is that the craft should have a natural and lively look.

We decorate the interior

Volumetric crafts in the form of a tree are not the only way to decorate. If you have an invaluable artistic gift, you can paint a picture.


 Materials for creating a panel of buttons

We propose to make an original and simple panel in the form of a tree from buttons, cardboard and a piece of fabric:

  1. We make a background on a sheet of cardboard. It can be painted with watercolors, or you can attach a piece of fabric and stitch the edges with a sewing machine. The color of the background depends on what season the picture illustrates. We create an autumn tree with golden foliage.
  2. Starting from the bottom corner of the sheet, draw the trunk and branches with brown or black paint. To make the tree look fabulous, give the branches a whimsical shape, with curls.
  3. After the paint has dried, glue the buttons of yellow, orange, brown, golden color, like autumn foliage.

 A wall panel made of buttons is a great find for those who want to update the atmosphere and give the room a special mood.

The original panel in the form of a tree is ready to decorate the walls of the living room in the house or a strict office in the office.The tree in the house, even if decorative, is a symbol of life. Just as branches reach for the sun, so a person is in constant search for himself, striving for absolute harmony.

Every little princess dreams of her own fairytale castle or magical cave. This super dad apparently loves his daughter very much. Judge for yourself, he spent 350 hours at work, and the whole project took him a year and a half and $ 4,000. But no other girl has such a house.

A user by the nickname Radamshome posted on the Reddit service the entire chronicle of the creation of a masterpiece.

DIY fairy house

He himself tells about himself that he works as an artist in the computer games industry. And to create this wonderful tree, he had to learn several new professions. The resulting tree is able to support the weight of three adults. Radamshome admits that his biggest fear is that his daughter will want to remove the tree from the bedroom when she becomes a teenager.

“My daughter wanted a fairy tree in her room so she could sit inside and read books. To be honest, I had no idea how long it would actually take me to do this.”


It took 18 months and 350 hours to complete the project

Since he is an artist who draws for computer games, he approached the matter in a measured and consistent manner. It all started with a scale model and layout.

After 100-120 hours of welding, the frame was finished


It took 50 hours to cover the frame with a steel mesh base

A special mixture of cement and papier-mâché became a curly trunk. It took the hard-working father another 200 hours


Then it was all neatly painted. Pay attention to the texture of the bark.


From the tree, the artist launched branches with leaves and Christmas garlands.


What attention to detail! He specially bought all these cute little things for a fairy-tale room in a store for artists.

Therefore, today we will try to make magic tree for your room, which I'm sure will be the highlight of the interior and enchant all your guests.

Such unusual miniature trees are called topiaries. The art of topiary has been known since the times Roman Empire, from where the fashion for luxurious, skillfully trimmed gardens began.

To create a magical tree, you will need:

Multi-colored ribbons 2.5 cm wide (red and white),

Several types of ribbons in green shades 5 cm wide.

Needle and thread.

Polymer glue.

Alabaster (a type of gypsum)

A flower pot,

Wooden stick (more precisely, not too thin a tree branch),

Can of gold paint (optional)

Decorations for the pot: a bow, a grid of flowers.

Ready? Then to business!

1. Let's prepare the basis for our tree. We take 4 sheets of newspaper and make such a ball out of them.

So that the ball does not fall apart, we wrap it with threads and coat it with glue.

2. And now we will create white and red roses for our tree.

We cut off a piece of tape 35 cm long. We bend it away from us, as shown in the figure.

We begin to twist the rose. A little above the middle, not reaching the edge of the bend, we fix it with a thread and ...

We bend the tape again, but towards ourselves, capturing the edge of the previous fold.

And so to the end of the tape we twist the rose, making folds towards ourselves.

From below, we pierce all the layers of the rose with a needle and thread - so our flower will keep its shape perfectly.

These are the beautiful roses I got.

3. Using scissors and an awl, we make holes in the newspaper and insert the tips of the roses soaked in glue into them.

We make sure that red roses always alternate with white ones and vice versa.

4. Next in line is the stem of the tree. We paint the branch in golden color and insert it into the hole on the ball. Attention! Be sure to grease the tip of the branch with glue.

5. Cut out circles from ribbons of green shades 5 cm wide.

Fold them in half twice.

We burn the rounded edge with fire and quickly fasten the edges of the tape while it is still hot.

These are the leaves of the future tree.

We glue them around our roses. So we will hide the gaps between the colors.

6. The pot is very easy to decorate. One has only to wrap it with a mesh for flowers and glue a bow.

7. We insert our topiary into the diluted alabaster. We cut off the plastic edges of the bag where the substance is located.

8. Finely chop the remaining tapes and cover the already solidified solution.

From above the pot can be decorated with green threads.

That's all! The magic topiary is ready. A bright tree will certainly become a wonderful addition to a festive interior.
