In a modern market economy, money is the best gift for a birthday or wedding. But just giving banknotes in an envelope is not original. It's better to make some. And now we have one great option for you.

A money faucet is just a wonderful gift for or that you can make with your own hands.

In addition to money (), this is a great way to give money. A little effort and you can easily make such a Money Faucet yourself. And now we will figure out how to make it.

We will need:

  • Money (bills and coins, either real or decorative)
  • Wire
  • Glue and tape
  • Cardboard
  • Paralon
  • wooden skewers
  • Can of gold paint

First, let's make a faucet holder. We add 6 skewers, and put the wire in the center so that its edge protrudes a little. We fasten the skewers with tape and bend the edge of the wire, as shown in the figure.

Then, using this design, we fix the crane. Paint the faucet golden with a spray can.

Now we wrap the faucet stand with bills - this will be the basis of the money jet of the money faucet. Then we attach the rack to the pedestal.

The money faucet should just splash money. This is what we will do. Using a pencil, we wind bills like hair on curlers. You will get such money curls.

We glue them along the entire length of the rack. This is the final touch, a do-it-yourself birthday money faucet is ready.

Maybe you have seen at someone's house such an unusual craft as a floating cup with coins pouring out of it. Most people are delighted with it, and many do not even understand how it was possible to make it. In fact, this craft - a money faucet - is quite simply made with your own hands and looks like an inexhaustible golden source. Such a product is both a symbol of wealth and prosperity, as well as an object that brings success to its owner, a successful streak in life and attracts real money in large quantities.

Nice souvenir

You can make a money faucet with your own hands as a gift to friends, relatives, colleagues, bosses. This would make a great gift for a birthday or wedding. In general, this souvenir can be properly used in more than one situation. Naturally, just giving money in an envelope is a very banal decision. The best option is to make crafts from banknotes.
You can believe in the magical properties of this craft or treat it with healthy skepticism, but be that as it may, such a decorative thing can become an original decoration of any house or apartment, or play the role of the main accent in the interior of the room. So, nevertheless, it is time to talk in more detail about what components you can make a cash faucet with your own hands. Next, we will tell you about the main stages of production. And you can make sure that there is nothing complicated about it.

Main Components

To make a floating source, we need:

  • Money - it can be real bills or coins, or some kind of artificial paper.
  • The bowl as a traditional part of the craft. The originals can replace it with an ordinary faucet.
  • A metal cord, the so-called wire.
  • Adhesive tape and glue.
  • Cardboard.
  • Elastic polyurethane foam or foam rubber.
  • Wooden skewers or aluminum fork.
  • Golden paint.

Money faucet. Master class on making a souvenir

Let's start by making a bowl holder. To do this, we combine six skewers, and between them we place the wire so that its part protrudes a few centimeters above the wooden sticks. Then we fasten the skewers with adhesive tape and bend the part of the wire remaining outside at an angle of about 120 degrees. After that, thanks to the resulting design, we fix the bowl. Often, instead of skewers, a fork is used, the teeth of which are bent forward and attached to the saucer, and the end of the handle bent in the opposite direction is glued to the inside of the bowl. Then comes the turn of a spray can with golden paint, with which we paint the details, imitating a gold money faucet.

Before proceeding with painting, it is necessary to treat the product with alcohol, which will remove fat. It is recommended to paint on the street or on the balcony. If the procedure will be carried out in a room, then it is worth remembering that during this process a darkish dust is released, which covers all surfaces nearby. At least three layers must be applied. It takes about a quarter of an hour or even more to dry each such layer. When choosing a coloring matter, you need to consider that in the end it will have a darker color than the sample shows you.

Then we build a pedestal. The saucer corresponding to the bowl is classic. But in fact, you can make a polygonal plinth with as many corners as you like. From the outside, this pedestal can be framed with coffee beans or coins. After that, the stand of the product is wrapped in banknotes, thanks to which we will get, so to speak, the core of the faucet's money jet. Then we attach this rod to the pedestal. It is important that the money faucet has the effect that money is spraying out of it. We glue bills wrapped in a bag around the entire rod. This is the final stage of work, and now we can say that the manufacture of the money tap is completed.

Coins and banknotes

In addition, the saucer can be decorated with coins. For these purposes, ordinary pennies are suitable, which are no longer of value to you. Also, some people, when working on a money faucet, use coins and tokens made from decorative materials. As for bills, both “fake” tickets and very real money can be used.

Now it has become very popular to acquire amulets and talismans. The most popular of them - to attract wealth. And today we will make "", which will be an excellent talisman for attracting money. It symbolizes endless cash flow, prosperity and abundance. In addition, such a talisman will be an excellent gift for both men and women.
Materials:

  • Wire (strong enough) or metal pipe
  • Bookmarks "Dollar" - 15-20 pcs.
  • Plastic box, jar or bowl
  • Glue gun
  • Gold color paint

Once we have selected all the necessary materials, we can begin to manufacture a money faucet. And we will start, so to speak, with the foundation of our product. Dilute gypsum with water and pour it into the selected form. In the meantime, the gypsum has not had time to harden, we insert a metal tube or wire into it.

After the gypsum has hardened, we take the product out of the mold, check the quality of the filling. If there are irregularities or flaws, then we grind the workpiece a little. Next, we cover the plaster with paint.


Now we glue the crane to the metal tube. We check the reliability of the design.


Let's start gluing bills. To begin with, we glue the tube itself, and then glue the bills, after twisting them.

To give the bills a shape, you can wind them on a pencil.
In fact, banknotes can be of any shape at your discretion. Some craftswomen twist them into a watering can.

Our money faucet is ready! If desired, the composition can be supplemented with coins or a beautiful inscription with wishes can be made.
I wish you creative inspiration and wealth!

Have you faced the problem of choosing a gift for a colleague, boss or just a man you know for a birthday? I'm sure yes! This is especially true when you are not so familiar as to perfectly know the tastes and preferences of the birthday man. Well, in that case, business gifts will help you out of this difficult situation. One such business gift is a money faucet. I bring to your attention a master class from the suite design section on making a money tap.

For such a symbol of wealth and success, you will need:

- a small crane;

- wooden skewers for barbecue;

- gold paint in an aerosol (any shades of gold and silver are allowed);

- 0.5 kg of long chocolates;

- 250 g of chocolate coins;

- a round tin box of cookies or other sweets;

- souvenir dollars - 80 pieces;

- hot glue.

Let's get started.

1) If you managed to buy the required amount of souvenir currency, then you can safely skip this stage of making a crane and proceed to the next one. But, alas, I was not lucky, there were only 30 banknotes in the souvenir shop. And for our crane you need about 80. I left these 30 bills for the final decor. And the remaining 50 made independently. So, to work as a counterfeiter, first of all, you need to print $100 bills. Note: the size of the banknote is 156 x 67 mm. Now you need to give the paper a yellow-green tint. We brew strong green tea at the rate of 1 tbsp. for 1 cup of boiling water. Add 1 tsp. turmeric. Immerse banknotes in this liquid for no more than 1 minute! Don't overcook or you'll end up with orange dollars, not green dollars. We take out the bills and let it dry.

2) After the bills have dried, gently wipe the remnants of turmeric with a dry sponge or cotton cloth. Now you need to iron the money. We do this through gauze or fabric so that the paint does not pass to the sole of the iron.

If you plan to prepare banknotes for the main decor, then you need to put the ironed money under the press for several hours.

3) We are engaged in the preparation of the crane. In my case, I have a brass faucet, but it has a small nuance - it is without a spout. If you decide to take a faucet from an old faucet, you will face the same problem. To make a spout, you need to take a small piece of plastic pipe on an aluminum frame. Ideally, the diameter of the pipe should match the diameter of the inlet in the faucet itself. But my tube is a little narrower and in order to bring it to the required thickness, it is enough to make a few turns of electrical tape. I draw your attention to the fact that the pipe needs to be bent a little and it is better to do this before wrapping it with electrical tape. Irregularities after winding with electrical tape can be smoothed out with polymer clay.

5) It is necessary to paint the faucet. For painting we use paint in an aerosol.

6) While the faucet is drying, let's take care of the candy. Long candies are great for this composition. The length of the candy must match the width of the banknote. It is necessary to fix the tails of sweets. To do this, we take a narrow transparent adhesive tape and press the tails to the “body” of the candy with a small strip.

7) We wrap sweets in banknotes. We fix the end of the bill with glue.

8) We glue the money bundles to the cookie box, using hot glue. We stick tightly to each other.

9) Now you need to make a support for the crane. To do this, we need long wooden skewers for barbecue.

10) We take such a number of skewers that they fit snugly into the spout of the tap. Pour hot glue into the spout and insert the skewers with a sharp end. The skewers must be inserted deep enough.

11) We fix the structure to the cookie box. Squeeze out a large amount of hot glue in the center of the box. We insert skewers with a tap at the top into it. We are waiting for complete drying. After that, pour the glue again, but already with the call on the skewers. We are waiting for drying, once again pour the glue above the previous layer by a centimeter.

12) For the main decor, we need banknotes and golden chocolate coins.

13) We make "curly" banknotes. To do this, wind the bill on a pencil. It is best to do this diagonally.

14) We begin to glue the bills to the base of the faucet spout. Banknotes can be laid out as you please: glued together, glued to the base, etc.

15) Now glue the coins. We glue the coins on the front.

Well, that's all, the symbol of wealth and success is ready! I am sure that such a gift will certainly please your boss, colleague, and just a good friend.
