Decoking the house to Easter, besides the familiar painted eggs and windows, you can use a festive topiary. The technology of creating an artificial trees is quite simple, but as a result, it turns out very beautiful, and most importantly, an unusual decorative element.
Peculiarities
Easter Topiary is a decorative tree, possessing a spherical crown and decorated with Easter eggs, or other Easter characters. As with any other classic Topiaria, Easter decoration has a number of mandatory components. As a stand, a decorative capacity of a suitable size filled with filler is used.
For example, it can be a conventional flower pot, a vase, a glance or a large mug. In the role of Topiaria, either the real branch is applied or a wooden (bamboo) wand or decorated wire.
Croan Croan is performed from foam, foam rubber or papier-mache. In principle, a variant of use and plastic ball is possible. It is also necessary to add that in gardeners sometimes sell balls for Topiaria, already planned on the rod. As decorative elements for Easter, multi-colored eggs, artificial grass, figurines of rabbits and chickens, beads, ribbons, etc. are suitable. The filler for the vessel-stand is selected in such a way as to securely fix the entire design.
For example, For a plentifully decorated tree, it is better to use gypsum, and for a light miniature topiary, a tightly inserted sponge in the pot is suitable. There are also options for using sand, land and pebbles, as well as additional fixation of the barrel at the bottom with the help of a thermoclaus. Any filler must be hidden from eyes with moss, herbs or colored paper.
Taking an easter decoration, you can use conventional boiled painted eggs, but such a decision is short-sighted, since the existence of the decor is significantly reduced. Much more correct will be the use of empty shells, of which, with a syringe, the content is eliminated. Such billets must be well fastened and sucked. For topiary of a small size, it is better to use shells from quail eggs. The use of any decorative testicles, as well as egg-shaped forms from kinder surprises, is also welcomed.
Interesting ideas
The most common solution is to create an ordinary Topiaria, and then design it using Easter elements. Eggs shells or decorative figures are pre-stained in pastel colors, or are scheled by unscrew patterns. Fix them on a spherical basis better with the help of a glue gun. Between the eggs are pasted flowers, bows and artificial grass. If you pre-drill a small hole in the egg, then you can fix the artificial flower directly on it or a miniature twig.
Another winning option is the creation of topiary with a sisar. This multicolored fiber from Agava is well holding a form, and therefore it can be skated in such a way as to simulate colorful testicles. It is also possible to form the main Easter element and corrugated paper. Pretty popular topiary in the shape of an egg. To create it, it will only be necessary to cut the crown of an unusual form, and then decorate the design with satin ribbons, butterflies and flowers. Extremely originally looks the decorative tree with the basis in the form of a wreath of a vine.
Another unusual idea is to decorate Topiaria chicken sitting in the nest. The branches are formed from the painted wire, and the bird itself is either purchased ready, either collected from a pair of yellow pumps with decorative eyes and beak.
Technique implementation
In order for your own hands to create an Easter Topiary, it is better to step by step to follow the instructions of some verified master class. To create a festive decor, you will need a spherical base from the foam, which can be either purchased in the store, or do it yourself. List of materials and tools:
- bamboo stick;
- Flower pot of small size;
- adhesive gun with a reserve of rods;
- Floral sponge;
- Multicolored sisal, beads, buttons;
- Decorative figures and artificial flowers.
The crown can be made of waste paper, crumpled in a lump and rewinding scotch. An alternative to bamboo stick will be the usual curved branch covered with white gouache. Instead of a floral sponge, the use of a gypsum solution is allowed, which is divorced directly in the stand-upstand. The mixture should be very thick. The tree is fixed in the gypsum in the desired position and remains to be filled for about 2-3 hours (in the case of a small composition). More large-scale work dries during the day.
A hole is cut into the foam-based basis, the depth of which is about 3-4 centimeters. Inside, the hot glue is poured inside, and then stick the wooden barrel.
The pot is filled with a floristic sponge. In it, again, a hole is done with a depth of 3 to 4 centimeters. The recess is filled with hot glue, and after it is fixed with a crown barrel. It is necessary to mention that if the wooden wand is pre-painted to paint, then it is better to do it before connecting to other parts. Instead of painting, the trunk can be wrapped with a rope or satin ribbon.
When the tree is securely fixed in the pot, the filler must be hidden - fall asleep by beads, cover with a sisal or artificial grass. Sharo-shaped krone is covered with paint, is placed with a sisal or soaked with yarn.
At the final stage, the decor is fixed: the crown and the surface of the "land" decorate with decorative figures of animals, multi-colored eggs, strips of satin or repusted ribbons, colors of ceramoplastin, as well as beads and buttons.
It is also worth considering the specifics of the manufacture of topiary with an egg-shaped crown. For the trunk, three wooden spanks, interconnected and wrapped with a satin ribbon of pink color. Its ends to be applied, but only after the trunk itself will find it in the gypsum solution. Near the pot can immediately establish several decorative winds of the willow. Forming a small "skirt" from the organza on the thread, it must be placed on the top of the trunk. The plastic egg is painted in the desired shade, decorated with lace, braid and any other decorative elements. Having carefully finishing it with the bottom of hot glue, you must fix the crown on the trunk. The finished design is decorated with artificial colors located on the side of the egg, as well as greens hiding a gypsum filler.
