Topiary from napkins with rose hands. Topiary from napkins. Stage IV. Decor, pouring and filling the pot

After deciding that there should be flowers on the table, I thought about the question of how to make a topiary with my own hands, because. constantly changing flower arrangements in January is expensive.
Topiaries came to us from the times of palace luxury. When gardeners cut the crowns of trees and bushes in the form of balls, figures, birds. In floristry, giving the ideal shape to a bouquet by trimming is also very popular. Well, our hostesses have learned how to create a cozy atmosphere in the apartment with the help of mini trees. They set off the interior if they are made in appropriate colors and look unusual.

Such a tree looks rather unusual, ideal for the kitchen, because. it interrupts the smells of food and freshens the air.


We will need:

  • Any vertical stem base (stick)
  • Styrofoam ball
  • Pot, planter, cup or flowerpot
  • Coffee beans
  • Twine
  • Ribbons of different widths
  • Sackcloth
  • Thermal gun
  • Building plaster

First you need to wrap the twine around the stick. To do this, coat one edge of the stick with a thermal gun and glue the end of the twine.



Choose the length of the stick yourself, depending on how high the topiary you want to get.
The end of the twine also needs to be fixed with glue.



We proceed to the design of the pot. To do this, we take our burlap and begin to wrap the pot.



We coat the pot with glue, and wrap it with burlap.



You can cut off the excess around the edges.



In order to avoid white gaps, paint the foam ball black.



Cut a hole in the ball for the barrel. Lubricate the end of the barrel with glue.



We proceed to pasting the ball with coffee beans. You can do it in different ways.


For example, we apply glue to the ball, and then we put a lot of coffee beans in a handful, pressing it to the surface.


But all the grains that are not fixed will scatter in all directions.

You can do it differently. Glue one grain at a time, which will take longer, but more accurately.
You need to work quickly because the glue cools quickly.



For the stability of the pot, we will fill it with plaster. To do this, pour water into the gypsum and stir.



After filling the pot with gypsum, you need to insert a tree into it and hold it for a while so that it fixes.



The plaster will dry in ten hours.
We begin to decorate the finished composition. We make bows from ribbons and glue them to the trunk.



You can use beads, twine bows, dried lemon, cinnamon stick and other decorative materials.


Skewers can be used instead of a stick for the barrel, they are sold in grocery and hardware stores.

Master class: napkin topiary

Napkins are always at hand. And they have a huge number of functions, and why not make them a decoration for a topiary? Let's look at a simple way and a spectacular master class.

A foam ball of this diameter will cost you 50 rubles in the store.

We take napkins, fold in half.


And again in half. And cut along the second fold line.



In the middle we fasten with a stapler.



We cut each blank in the shape of a circle and bend each layer to the middle, so we form a flower.



We wrap the topiary trunk with tape, for this we fasten one end of the tape to glue and wrap it around the trunk in a spiral.



We glue flowers on the ball. To do this, apply hot glue to each flower.



You can decorate with ribbon rings. To do this, we wrap the tape around the finger, it can be done twice and glue it at the base. You can use a needle to attach the ribbon ring to the topiary.



We spread the alabaster in a flower pot, insert the topiary into the middle and wait for it to dry.



Alabaster can be closed with the same flowers from napkins. We wrap the trunk with tape and make a beautiful bow.


In the pot, if there is space left, you can put sweets.

Glue the flowers with hot glue. We fill the gaps between them with ribbons, ribbons of other colors and textures.

We make roses from satin ribbon

To make roses, we take a ribbon, bend the edge with an angle.



From the end of the tape, we turn the tape inward, forming a bud.



Add glue along the bottom so that the rose does not bloom.

First MK: flat heart

It is easy to make, it will be a through heart made of cardboard.

  • You take thick cardboard, you can - from large boxes. Cut out the shape of the heart, which should be hollow inside. That is, the diameter of this heart-shaped rim will be approximately 2-3 cm.
  • To make it even denser, it can be pasted over with the same napkins in several layers.
  • And then - paint the heart in the desired color, and paste over it with the same colors.

There are master classes that do not offer dense pasting of the base with flowers. That is, you can, for example, wrap the shape with lace or bleached twine, and only attach flowers in some places.

And such a tree will be interesting and original, and as a souvenir gift to a loved one, it is almost an ideal option.

Tree-heart: do-it-yourself second option

You can make a heart differently if it should not be through.

Step-by-step master class with a photo - topiary with roses and sisal

Stage I. Ball making and barrel preparation

We use a ready-made foam ball or make the base with our own hands: from old newspapers, scraps, cotton wool or synthetic winterizer. All ways, . For our tree, a home-made version was chosen - from synthetic winterizer. We collect the required diameter, wrap the ball with twine or knitting threads.

To make the ball elastic, first we make a core of synthetic winterizer (or similar material) with thread winding.


A curved branch of a corylus or other tree is perfect as a trunk. We grind with sandpaper to a smooth surface, paint in 2 layers with white acrylic or gouache with PVA glue. The paint dries up to 30 minutes. After drying, we insert the barrel into a previously prepared hole in the ball, fix it with glue.


Stage II. Making flowers from napkins

You will need viscose napkins of a standard size of 32x38 cm. We fold the napkin four times, cut it into strips (the wider the strip, the higher the flower will turn out). We cut out the nails - petals, according to a pre-drawn contour or "by eye". The core is a twisted strip of napkin or bead. We glue the petals heap, fix only at the base. The process of making roses from napkins is clearly shown in the video.

For a dense rose, you will need 25-30 petals, for the entire Heavenly Harmony topiary - 30 roses. In total, we cut about 900 petals.




Stage II-I. Sisal balls


You can use any colors of the key elements, it is only important to maintain harmony: napkins should be the same color as the pot. For example, yellow napkin topiary also looks very stylish and bright.

Stage III. crown decoration

In a chaotic manner, glue sisal balls, napkin flowers, artificial roses and smooth berries around the ball. We arrange the elements in a heap, without gaps, but at the same time so that the roses and balls do not crumple.

For the blue napkin topiary, lemon fabric roses were used. White or dark blue flowers are also suitable for the color scheme.






Stage IV. Decor, pouring and filling the pot

Before pouring the topiary with gypsum, we glue lace on the pot, along the edge. Also remember to seal the drainage hole carefully if using a flower pot.

Mix the solution directly in the pot: 2 parts plaster, 1 part water. Slowly adding water, knead the mixture until the consistency of thick sour cream and so that it turns out a little more than half the pot. We lower several pieces of foam or sponge into the solution so that the gypsum does not split the pot when expanding. We plant the topiary in the correct composition position.

The drying rate of the fill is highly dependent on the quality of the gypsum. If possible, it is better to leave for 24 hours. By the way, the whiter the gypsum, the better. All fill secrets - .


We glue a layer of synthetic winterizer on the dried gypsum to facilitate the topiary. The crown is quite light and pouring under the edges of the pot is pointless, it will only increase the weight of the tree of happiness. We tightly glue sisal balls and smooth berries onto the synthetic winterizer.

To decorate the pot, we make a bow from satin ribbons, glue a rose from napkins and 2 fabric roses.




The final touch is a double bow of organza and satin ribbon, tied to the stem of the Heavenly Harmony napkin topiary.
