First, take a wand - this is the future tree trunk. If there is no wand, several shish kebabs, skewers for canapés or thick wire can come up. In the last two cases, you will need to zadekoriruyu trunk tape, colored thread or sisal fiber.

After the barrel is ready, connect it to the ball. Having convinced that the stick is securely fixed in the ball, we proceed to the design of the latter.

It is necessary to attach flowers with the help of English pins to the ball. You can also decorate the ball with thread or sisal fiber.

If you are not sure if the flowers or ribbon are firmly fixed, fix them with an adhesive gun.

Caution! The glue is very hot, and it's impossible to remove it quickly from the skin - you get a burn guaranteed. Also, the nozzle of the pistol is heated very warmly, although it is hidden in protective insulation, eventually it is torn off, and it too becomes dangerous. Do not leave the gun near children and animals.

Now proceed to the design of the pot. You can wrap it with sacking, paint with paints or beads, putting them on hot glue.

Please note that the size of the pot dictates to us and the size of the entire composition as a whole - observe the proportions.

Tip: From the hot glue remain the thread - they stretch from the place of gluing behind the nozzle of the gun. Do not rush to pull them in the hope of getting rid of them - wait for the glue to cool down, and then safely remove it.

Next, we need to prepare " soil " for wood. To do this, you need to dissolve the gypsum and pour it into the pot.

Pre-glue the holes in the bottom of the pot with hot glue.

Attention! The gypsum freezes very quickly - in about 15 minutes, so do not hesitate to put the wood in the pot.

Place the artificial grass in the pot, fixing it with hot glue.

Tip: If the glue supply has stopped, although the glue rod has not yet ended - gently push it slightly with a pencil.
