Instructions
Step 1
Crown.
Take the blank and cut out the base for the barrel with a clerical knife. The ball can be painted in any color. To do this, use car paint, it lays down better and dries quickly. Then cover the ball with glue. Be careful when handling the glue gun, it is very hot. Place the beans gently on the ball. As a decor, you can attach ribbons, balls, beads, or decorative flowers.
Step 2
Trunk.
Take the kebab sticks and tie them together. Then coat with glue and tie with twine or tape. Decorate the barrel and secure in the hole in the workpiece. To keep our structure well, coat the hole with glue, and carefully seal the cracks with plasticine.
Step 3
Base.
Our topiary is ready, it remains only to "plant" it in a pot. To do this, use gypsum or foam. Decorate the top layer with floss or sisal to simulate grass.
