Money can be a perfect gift for many occasions. While it spares you the daunting task of choosing the right gift, the recipient can buy anything of his/her choice, with that money. Apart from that, money is welcomed as a gift for some special occasions, like weddings, retirement parties, baby showers, birthdays, and bridal showers. However, some people feel awkward to gift money. So it is always better try some creative ways. Otherwise too, creative gifts are preferable to plain ones. When it comes to gifting money in a creative way, there are numerous options, and money tree is one among them. Even though we know that money does not grow on trees, we are free to imagine a tree blooming with bills. In order to make a money tree, all you have to do is to give shape to your imagination. In other words, you have to make a plant decorated with money and other accessories. Some Basic Guidelines

• The Tree: You can either go for an actual potted plant or a tree branch or a symbolic tree decorated with money and other accessories. First of all, you have to decide, whether you want an artificial tree or a real one. If you go for the real one, you can either choose an indoor plant or houseplant (which can be used), or a branch of a real tree (can be discarded after use). In case of artificial trees, you may buy one from the market. Another option is to make a structure that resembles a tree branch, using thick metal wires.
• Decoration: Once you decide the type and size of the tree, collect the materials for decoration. Of course, the main thing is bills of different denominations. Other decorating accessories can be selected according to the occasion. A money tree for a baby shower can be decorated with ribbons, beads, crystals, tiny toys, balls, and cards. For a bridal shower, you may use ribbons, heart-shaped candies and flowers for decoration. For Christmas parties, use stars, stockings, etc.

These are the basic steps to make a money tree. However, you can always use your creativity and come up with a money tree that stands out from the ordinary. You may experiment with the choice of tree/plant, its base, materials used to fill the base, articles used for decoration, and the way in which the bills are arranged on the tree. For example, the tree can be presented in a beautiful vase filled with marbles, pebbles, or even coins. You may spray silver or gold paint on the stems, and add some glitter to the leaves. Instead of pots you may opt for a wooden base. In short, making a money tree is one of the easiest and simplest tasks. All you need is some creativity and spare time. So splurge your creativity and come up with the best and unique money tree as a gift.
