How to Make a Dollar Money Tree

Give a dollar money tree as a gift.

Money trees make an excellent gift for high school and college graduates as well as couples who are getting married. These individuals are making a new beginning and it is nice to be able to send them on their journey with a few extra dollars. The gift giver can create a small tree from which to hang plenty of dollar bills. The gift giver could also set the money tree out on a table at the party so that guests can add more dollar bills to the money tree.

Things You'll Need

• Flower pot
• Floral foam
• Utility knife
• Branch
• Dollar bills
• Gold or silver twist tie

Instructions

1. Choose either a plain flower pot and decorate it to fit the theme of your party or purchase one that is already decorated.

2. Use a utility knife to cut a piece of floral foam to fit inside of the flower pot.

3. Search for a small branch that has several smaller branches sticking out of it. Push the base of the small branch down in to the floral foam. Pushing the branch to 1 1/2 to 2 inches should be far enough to hold the money tree up.

4. Scrunch up a dollar bill in the middle and wrap a gold or silver twist tie around it. You only need to twist it around once in the back of the dollar bill.

5. Wrap the rest of the twist tie around one of the branches on the money tree.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until your money tree is full.

Tips & Warnings

• You can spray paint your branches a gold or silver color before you begin. This is optional.

• Only place a few dollar bills if you want others to contribute. Make sure you provide some twist ties for other guests to use to attach their dollars to the money tree.
