Initially, topiary was the name given to figuratively pruned trees and green shrubs in the yards of rich people. Over time, this art has changed. Now anyone can decorate their home with such cute decor. The size of the tree often does not exceed half a meter, and the variety of its shapes, colors and materials used for production is almost limitless - at home they are made step by step from fabric and banknotes, coins and coffee beans, autumn leaves and dried flowers, even sweets and chocolates - everything not to list. See examples of topiary in the gallery below.

Classic tree of happiness: master class (video)

How to make the easiest topiary from beads with your own hands: instructions

Of the many options, the wish tree made from beads or artificial pearls is undoubtedly the easiest to make. Let's look at a detailed master class on how to create it.

It turns out very beautiful

What you need to have:

  • Foam ball base.
  • A bunch of beads, pearls of one or more colors. In handicraft stores you can purchase several small beads at once, so as not to glue them individually.
  • Two pieces of strong steel wire of the desired length, to which is added the depth of the pot and half the diameter of the ball, since the stem of the tree will go halfway into the base, and into the pot to the very bottom.
  • Satin ribbons, preferably thin ones, matching the main colors.
  • Satin roses, a little felt to decorate the bottom of the pot.
  • Corrugated paper, organza, satin or rapeseed ribbon of medium thickness.
  • Quick-drying glue or glue gun.
  • Pebbles for filling the pot, plaster for pouring.
  • Paint and pebbles for ground decoration.
  • Plastic pot.

Let's start making the simplest wish tree

  1. We start by making holes in the ball to attach steel wires and try them on. We wrap the flying wire so that at the top it is close to the ball, and at the bottom – 5 cm below the expected height of the ground. Set aside.
  2. Then we take a low number of beads and carefully, starting from the very top exactly above the holes for the barrel, attach the first bead. Then we gradually apply transparent glue and immediately fasten the beads without removing them from the thread. When there are only a couple of turns left to the holes, insert the wires for the barrel, having previously generously lubricated them with glue, and finish the winding, tightly closing the entire ball.
  3. Let's start working on the pot. We wrap it with corrugated paper, cover it with organza on top and secure it with ribbon. We glue the joints. Glue a felt circle to the bottom.
  4. Now we plant a tree. First we put the trunk in the pot. We fill in the stones and immediately fill them with prepared plaster. Please note that plaster expands when it dries, so do not fill it to the very top, leave a little space. It will dry within a few minutes.
  5. All that remains is to decorate the ball itself, its bottom and the surface of the plaster in the pot at your discretion. That's how simple it is to create beauty with your own hands.

Options may vary

Tip for a beginner: when making it, it is most convenient to use a heat gun. The glue in it is always transparent, dries very quickly and holds securely.

Topiary made from natural materials: step-by-step master class

Beginning needlewomen can also easily cope with working on a tree made from cones, acorns, chestnuts, walnuts or hazelnuts. This is a great idea for an activity with a child, allowing you to teach your little one to see beauty even in the most ordinary and simple things. In addition, many children love to collect such things while walking on the street. For the stem, you can even take an ordinary twig, which will make it even more natural and environmentally friendly.

Beginning needlewomen can also easily cope with working on a tree made from cones, acorns, chestnuts, walnuts or hazelnuts

What you will need:

  • Styrofoam ball for base.
  • Cones, chestnuts or other nuts.
  • Wire or a strong twig for the trunk.
  • A container in which to plant a tree.
  • Stones and plaster.
  • Glue gun or Dragon type glue.
  • Acrylic clear varnish, available in construction stores.
  • Decorations as desired.

How to make topiary from pine cones

As in the previous MK, first of all we pierce a hole under the barrel, try it on and decorate it. If you took a simple twig, then you can leave it unchanged.

  1. We take the base and glue the selected nuts or cones onto it, placing them tightly next to each other.
  2. Shortly before the end of the work, insert the barrel into the hole and finish the ball. If you cover pine cones with artificial snow, you will get a wonderful New Year's option.
  3. Chestnuts and acorns complement the fall leaves perfectly. And walnuts and hazelnuts look better if combined together and decorated with bright rowan berries.
  4. The last step is to plant the tree in a prepared container; for example, a brown flower pot would be very appropriate here.

Tip for a beginner: the finished nut craft should be coated with acrylic varnish or paint for durability. Gold and silver colors work best.

Memories of the sea or what to do with shells brought from vacation

A craft made from shells and burlap with elements made from twine looks very aesthetically pleasing. She will embody dreams of a new trip to the endless sea. Will remind you of a pleasant time spent. And the collected gifts from the depths of the sea will not lie idle.

For sea topiary you need:

  • Foam base: ball or heart.
  • Porcelain white or transparent cup, vase, glass.
  • Steel wire.
  • Thermal gun.
  • Shells, sea stones.
  • Artificial pearls.
  • Burlap, twine.
  • Plaster or pebbles to fill the container.

A craft made from shells and burlap with elements made from twine looks very aesthetically pleasing.

Detailed instructions for creation are simple and straightforward:

  1. We determine the center of the base and make the usual hole for the barrel. We try on the wire, decorate it with twine, and put it aside for a while.
  2. Carefully and carefully cover the foam base with shells, stones and pearls in random order. We make flowers, simple or lush bows from twine. We hook them between the main parts. We insert the finished trunk into place and decorate the bottom of the base.
  3. Place the craft in a cup or vase and fill it with plaster. Sprinkle the not yet hardened plaster with sea or decorative sand. We decorate the container with several turns of twine. Another option is to wrap it completely in burlap and secure it with a satin ribbon in pastel, light colors.
  4. If you do not want to use gypsum, and the topiary itself is small in size and weight, it is preferable to plant it in a transparent glass or cup, pouring the remaining pebbles and shells into it. This way you get a delicate decorative element that will remind you of summer holidays at any time and charge you with positivity and energy.

Topiary made from pine cones, acorns and/or chestnuts is an eco-decor that is especially good for autumn or winter interior decoration or a dining table. We have prepared 2 step-by-step master classes on making decorative trees with your own hands, as well as a selection of photo ideas and video tutorials.

A reminder of basic materials for beginners

Topiary consists of: crown, trunk and base in a pot. Everything is clear with the crown - we will make it from cones, acorns and/or chestnuts. What can be used as its basis? Most often, foam balls (sold in art or office supply stores) or floral foam balls (sold in flower shops) are used for this purpose.

You can use any stick as a trunk: a strong branch (previously dried), a simple pencil, a knitting needle or a wooden stick. If you don’t like the original look of the trunk, then you can wrap it with ribbons, twine, or simply paint or tint it. Finding a cute pot won't be difficult. In fact, an ordinary clay pot is best suited for a topiary of chestnuts, pine cones and acorns. If desired, it can be painted or artificially aged.

As for the base that will hold the tree trunk, here you can choose any mounting mixture (cement-sand mortar, putty, plaster or alabaster) or the same floral foam/foam. If you prefer the first option, we recommend using alabaster. It is available, easy to spread and does not crack. And here are the instructions for its use:

  • To fill 1 pot with alabaster you will need about 1 kg of mixture and about 3 cups of water. Stir the solution for a couple of minutes. Once the mixture has thickened to the consistency of thick sour cream, pour it into the pot, set the barrel and hold it level for 2-3 minutes. Leave the mixture to dry for 12-24 hours.

Master class 1. Round topiary from pine cones and more

Since topiary is made approximately according to the same principle, you can use our instructions to create topiary not only from pine cones, but also from chestnuts and acorns.

What you will need:

  • Flower pot;
  • Base ball;
  • Some kind of mounting mixture or polystyrene foam/flower foam for attaching the trunk to the pot;
  • Pins with tips;
  • Cones, chestnuts and/or acorns;
  • Hot glue gun;
  • Dry moss (can be replaced with sisal fiber);
  • Wooden stick (can be replaced with a pencil);
  • Ribbon (optional).

Master Class:

Step 1. First we need to prepare natural materials for work.

  • Freshly picked buds should be rinsed in water and then dried in the oven at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
  • Acorns and chestnuts simply need to be rinsed and dried naturally. The main thing is to conduct a thorough inspection of them for the presence of cracks, which are dangerous because insects can live in them. Small bugs and worms can eventually move into other fruits.

Step 2. Cut the wooden stick to approximately 45 cm (the height of the trunk may be different depending on the height of the pot, the diameter of the ball and your wishes for the height of the product). If necessary, paint the barrel.

Step 3. Insert the barrel into the ball and secure the attachment point with glue. If you are working with foam plastic, then you need to first cut a hole in it using a knife and scissors.

Step 4. Paint the ball dark brown so that the gaps in the crown of the finished product are hardly noticeable.

Step 5. Dilute your mounting mixture according to the manufacturer’s instructions or dilute alabaster according to our instructions (see). Fill the pot with the mixture, not reaching 2-2.5 cm from the top edge of the pot. In this project, instead of a mixture, we used diced floral foam.

Step 6. Insert the stem into the center of the pot. If you are using any kind of mounting mixture, then the barrel must be inserted immediately after mixing it and held until the mass in the pot hardens.

Step 7. Heat up your glue gun and glue the pine cones/acorns/chestnuts onto the tips of the pins as shown in the photo below. Before you start decorating the tree crown, it is advisable to divide your materials into three groups - large, medium and small.

In fact, it is not necessary to use pins to attach the pine cones/chestnuts/acorns to the base, because you can simply glue them. However, it is with the help of pins that it is easiest to create a neat round crown.

  • By the way, fresh and soft acorns and chestnuts can be attached to toothpicks. If your fruits have already hardened, try soaking them in water for a while.

Step 8. Now it’s time for the most interesting part – decorating the tree crown. Our task is to insert pins into the base ball so that the cones/acorns/chestnuts are located as close to each other as possible and at the same time evenly, so that the crown turns out to be round. If the cones have different sizes, then first you need to glue the large cones onto the ball, then the medium ones and only then the small ones. If the material is approximately the same size, then they can be glued in rows according to the honeycomb principle.

Step 9: Cover the "soil" in the pot with dry moss (see photo below) or whatever material you have available and use hot glue to hold it in place.

Step 10: You can add decorations to the topiary, such as a ribbon tied around the trunk.

In the next selection of photos we present other ideas for designing autumn and winter topiaries made from natural materials.

Topiary with a crown of fir cones on a candlestick

This topiary does not have a trunk, and its crown is formed only by halves of cones, namely the tops. Take note of this idea if you want the crown of your tree to have no gaps at all.

New Year's topiary made of cones, ribbons and artificial leaves and holly berries

Topiary made of pine cones and leaves

And here are the trees with a crown of chestnuts. The peculiarity of working with them is that it is necessary to glue additional decor between the fruits to close the gaps. For example, these could be rowan berries, sisal or small cones. Also keep in mind that due to the heaviness of chestnuts, it is advisable to both glue them and pin them.

By the way, chestnuts can be used not only for crown decoration. Below are photo examples of living topiary with chestnuts in a pot.

Now we invite you to watch a video on how to make topiary from cones, chestnuts and acorns with your own hands.

Master class 2. Christmas tree made of cones

In addition to the traditional round topiary from cones, chestnuts and acorns, you can make a Christmas tree topiary. You can place such a New Year's decoration on the holiday table, on the mantelpiece or at the entrance to the house.

Here's what you need:

  • Pine cones come in different sizes, from large to small.
  • The base is in the shape of a cone made of polystyrene foam or floral foam. If you don’t have a ready-made base, then you can make it yourself from paper, newspaper lumps and cardboard.
  • Hot glue gun.
  • PVA glue.
  • Dark brown acrylic paint or brown paper.
  • Glitter (optional).
  • Brush.

Master Class:

Step 1. Skip this step if you have a ready-made tree base. If there is no base, then we suggest making it yourself. Roll a piece of paper (eg A3 size) into a cone of the desired size. Secure the cone with tape and cut off the excess paper at the base and top (that's where the cone will sit). Now “stuff” the workpiece tightly with balls of crumpled sheets of newspaper.

Next, cut out a circle from cardboard, the diameter of which is 2-3 cm larger than the diameter of the base of the resulting cone. Glue the cone onto the circle using tape as shown in the following photo. Woo-ala! The basis for winter topiary is ready.

Step 2. To disguise the original color of the base, you can paint it with dark brown paint or simply wrap it in brown paper, such as kraft paper.

Step 3. Once the paint on the cone is dry or it is completely wrapped in paper, start gluing the cones. First glue the first row of the largest pine cones to the bottom of the base.

Topiary originates from the ancient times of the Roman nobility. This word comes from the Latin "topia", which means "decorative place". The Romans were distinguished by their love of aesthetics, they were famous for their experienced masters of landscape design, “masters of topos,” as they were called then.

Topiary these days is an original composition that is an imitation of a neatly trimmed tree. An exquisite decorative item will fit perfectly into any home interior, be it a simple topiary made of paper or multi-textured compositions of feathers, flowers, coins, rhinestones.

Secrets of the tree of happiness

The floristic tree carries a very important meaning. It is a symbol of fertility, wealth and health. This amazing decoration has a beneficial effect on the energy of the house, because topiary not only attracts good luck, but also generates powerful energy of happiness.

Advice! If the interior of the house is designed in classic colors grayish tones, it can be emphasized by topiary made from ribbons in cool shades (blue, light blue). In “warm climates” where there are many sunny shades, choose darker colors for the tree.

An original DIY topiary will be a great gift for any occasion. Such a miracle can be created from paper, artificial flowers, fabric, grains, feathers, shells, pine cones, coins, beads - everything that can be found in the home of needlewomen. Topiary will be appropriate in any situation:

  • New Year. Ideal gift or decorative element for the winter holiday. A sisal topiary decorated with pine cones, small spruce legs and shiny balls will look especially original. And if you add glitter, lurex, tinsel and gold decorations, the snowy tree of happiness can be an excellent substitute for a Christmas tree.

Advice! Silver and gold go perfectly with contrasting shades (blue, green, red). Shiny elements optimally set off light, pastel colors.

  • Romance of Saint Valentine. A love tree or topiary heart, decorated in red and white colors and decorated with satin or paper roses, valentines, fluffy feathers, will be a real romantic gift.

  • Living room. A bright, elegant topiary made of satin ribbons, made in the general style of the room, will create an original style for the living room.

The most powerful impact is exerted by interior trees created with your own hands. This science is not complicated, we will be happy to tell you how to make topiary.

How to create a homemade topiary with your own hands

To begin with, it is better to try to create a simple topiary for beginners.

Orange tree. For a juicy orange tree you only need 3-4 hours. What do you need:

  • Sintepon.
  • Brown threads.
  • Gel pen refill.
  • A small pot for the base.
  • Orange beads for decoration.
  • Green corrugated paper.
  • Large Christmas tree ball made of plastic (any).
  • Wooden sticks with pointed tips.

Tools you will need are a glue gun, scissors, and a stationery knife. Manufacturing stages:

Step 1. Trunk. Let's take one stick and tie two threads to it (on both sides). We tie another stick next door. We continue to knit them until the end, leaving long tails of thread. We will get some semblance of a wooden rug. We put a narrow strip of glue on it in the middle and wind the sticks into a tube. We wrap the entire structure with thread tails and secure it with a knot. For reliability, they can be glued together.

Step 2. Carefully insert the resulting trunk with the sharp edges of the sticks into the hole on the ball and place it on the glue. You can first pour cereal inside the ball to make the tree “talking”.

Step 3. Glue the blank to the bottom of the pot.

Step 4. Paint the tree trunk brown. It is better to paint the ball itself green to create additional volume for the leaves.

Step 5. Leaves. We cut the paper into small squares. Take one square and place it in the center of the rod from the handle. We crush the paper or roll it with our fingers in a circle. Apply a drop of glue to the center of the paper square and use the shaft of a pen to glue it to the ball.

  • Toothpicks.
  • Satin yellow ribbon.
  • Silk red fabric.
  • Thick branch or cardboard tube.
  • Small plastic balls in gold and red colors.
  • Ball base (you can use polystyrene foam or a floral oasis).
  • Decorative decorations (pine cones, Christmas tree decorations, beads, tinsel or sisal).
  • The tools we need are a glue gun, scissors and double-sided tape. Stages of work:

    Step 1. Pot. We decorate the pot with red fabric, which we secure with tape. We lay a floral oasis or polystyrene inside.

    Step 2. Trunk. We fix the trunk of the future tree in the center of the pot. If there is no branch, you can install a cardboard tube, pre-wrapped with yellow satin ribbon. We decorate the junction of the trunk with sisal or tinsel.

    Step 3. The upper part of the trunk is placed on a ball of polystyrene foam or a floral oasis (we first give it the shape of a circle). We tie the attachment point with a satin ribbon.

    Step 4. We glue toothpicks to the Christmas balls and place them in the base ball.

    Step 5. Decor. Using toothpicks, insert pine cones, small Christmas tree decorations, toys, beads, and tinsel into the free spaces between the balls. For reliability, we glue them together.

    The New Year's magic tree is ready! Make a wish on New Year's Eve, and the topiary will definitely make it come true.

    I made topiary from walnuts, using halves of shells, dried rose buds and boxwood leaves, with this set of materials the topiary turns out in a natural style. But I found an option in a decorative, more festive style. It turned out to be a beautiful tree. I am sharing a master class.

    And here you can see my tree in a pot: tree of happiness, European tree, topiary, money tree, floristic tree, coffee tree - there are many names and trees, but the technology is the same.

    Topiary in decorative style.

    « Such a nice tree with a round crown is called a European tree or topiary. How to make topiary that will become the highlight of your interior? Easily! You just need a little patience, a little imagination, a small amount of suitable material and a great desire to create something unusual with your own hands. So - crafts made from nuts!

    What do we need?

    Walnuts. You can, of course, just use nuts, but for a more interesting result you will need fruits that have dried in a green skin. There are fruits on the tree that have begun to dry out. The withered skin tightly fits the fruit and wrinkles at the same time. The nuts turn out to be mummified and very embossed.

    Paper. Anything - newspapers, old notebooks. The base of the round topiary crown is made from paper.

    Wand. It can be a dry branch or a Chinese stick. This will be the trunk of the tree.

    Pot. You can use a jar of yogurt, dessert or sour cream, in general, any container of suitable size.

    Tow. It is sold in hardware and construction stores. Just a little bit for decoration

    Corrugated paper. For foliage.

    Construction gypsum. For filling the pot and securing the trunk.

    Bandage. For decorating a pot.

    Gold paint and acrylic brown.

    Dried flowers. For crown decoration.

    Glue gun. Glue the nuts to the base.

    First, let's create the base of the round topiary crown. To do this, make a ball from newspapers or any other paper. Crumple the paper into a tight ball, wrap it with new layers of paper to make a ball of the desired size. As you go, wrap the ball with threads, giving it the correct shape. When you are satisfied with the size of the ball, secure the thread with glue. Now make a hole in the crown where you insert the trunk of the future topiary. Fill with PVA glue. Let dry. After that. Once the glue dries, paint the ball green - the color of the foliage.

    Wrap the trunk with an even layer of tow. If there is no tow, you can use wool or thick cotton thread. Make the turns tightly one to one. You can first lubricate the barrel with glue. and then start wrapping. this way the winding will hold more firmly.

    Using a glue gun, glue the nuts evenly onto the ball base. Using a brush, paint the nuts dark brown with acrylic paint. Once the paint is dry but not completely dry, apply dry gold paint powder to the nuts. The paint will lie on the convex places and it will look like old gilding. Apply dry paint with your finger; it washes off easily. The nuts will turn out golden.

    Our tree will need to be strengthened in a pot. To do this, dilute the plaster. Add water to the plaster and stir until you obtain a homogeneous mass as thick as sour cream. Dip the bandage into the resulting mixture and wrap it around the pot (yogurt jar) from the outside, straightening the folds evenly. Hide the ends of the bandage inside the pot. Pour the rest of the plaster into the pot (a little more than half) and place the tree inside. Before the plaster sets, the tree must be secured in a vertical position. The next day the plaster will completely harden and you can move on

    to decorating our topiary. Sand the plaster pot with sandpaper. Paint it gold. Dilute gold powder in varnish and cover the pot outside and inside. Let dry. Apply a coat of dark brown acrylic paint and immediately wipe it off with a piece of bandage. If the plaster surface is uneven, the paint will not rub off and the pot will take on the appearance of an old vintage vessel. Glue a layer of tow inside the pot, spreading it around the trunk.

    Proceed to filling the crown of the topiary. Cut out circles from corrugated paper and fold them four times, glue them into the gaps between the nuts. Use PVA or a glue gun. Add a few dried flowers to the crown and to the pot. The nut topiary is ready! «

    Every home has materials from which you can make an original topiary. This tree is created from a piece of old jeans, a piece of old tulle, nuts and a piece of jute. Everything merged together into a single product that perfectly complements the interior. This topiary is simply fantastic. You can't buy it in a store. The aura emanating from him is surprisingly calming and peaceful. You can make a topiary with your own hands like this:
    1. Buy a special foam ball. As an economical option, you can make a spherical base from paper or a piece of fabric. A ball is formed.


    2. It should be finally formed on top with thread or tape.
    3. A piece of burlap is cut off. The base ball is wrapped with it.


    4. The leg of the tree is formed from the wire. It should be bent. The wire is attached to the base ball.
    5. The leg is tied to the ball with tape or adhesive plaster. The tape also serves to thicken the wire, because the barrel cannot be too thin.



    6. The jute cord is used to decorate the ball and secure the burlap, and also wrap the leg.
    7. Long denim rectangles are cut. Each is approximately 2 cm wide and 11 cm long.
    8. This rectangular sheet is bent in half. The twisting of the rose begins.




    9. Use a needle and thread to secure each turn of the rose. Petals can be formed by bending this folded rectangular denim strip. The bottom of the rose should be secured well so that the fabric does not fray. In total you need to make 12 roses. At first there was an idea to make the entire tree from such roses, but the product turned out to be too pretentious.
    10. Tulle should also be cut into rectangles. Width – 2.5 cm. Length – 12-15 cm. Tulle will create a halo around each rose. To do this, simply fold the rectangle in half, assemble it with an accordion thread and sew it to the base of the denim rose.


    11. Walnuts of small size and light color are split into halves and cleaned.
    12. Roses with tulle are sewn to the ball. The nut halves are fixed between the rosettes using glue.


    13. At the bottom you can glue some lace flowers and attach a small ribbon bow.
    14. Take a glass baby food jar. Sand is poured into it or plasticine is filled. The topiary leg is inserted and secured.




    15. The bottle is easily decorated with a piece of old children's tights. To do this, a tube of tights is cut to a length greater than the bottle by 5 cm. This fabric sleeve is secured with glue and jute, as shown in the photo.
