If you are on vacation at the sea, then you probably wandered along the coast in the evening, collecting seashells and beautiful pebbles. But at home, they lose their charm if stored in a box or bag.
Let's use shells and pebbles to create a very beautiful, unusual and very simple craft - topiary (tree of happiness).
small shells, pebbles, artificial pearls of different sizes, transparent (acrylic or glass) beads, hot glue, wooden stick, plastic ball, thick white threads, additional decor (optional), small ceramic pot (or pots) for flowers.
1. In a plastic ball, make a hole for attaching a wooden stick. Additionally secure the stick with glue.
2. Glue stones and shells on the ball as tightly as possible to each other.
3. Disguise the plastic that will be visible between the shells by gluing large and small artificial pearls, colored beads. You can also complement the decor of the topiary by gluing small bows or flowers, plastic "sea" details (images of starfish, anchors, ships, etc.) to it.
4. Wrap the stick with thick white threads (secure the thread with drops of glue).
5. Place a piece of the base for the bouquet, which the florists use, or plasticine in the pot, stick the trunk of the topiary into it. Sprinkle the remnants of pebbles and shells on top. Place a couple of large glass beads or pearls on top.
