Fruit Topiary for Beginners
Elements of technology and unlimited creativity
Now directly on how to make a topiary. First, you need to crumple several newspapers and make a dense ball of size corresponding to the dimensions of the planned composition. The size of the ball depends on the capacity of the pot and the thickness of the stick on which it will be placed.
Next, the ball is tightly wrapped with foil, which is carefully and firmly fixed with adhesive tape, uniformly winding it over the entire surface. Due to its perfect ductility and maximum creasing, the foil in this case is an ideal material for keeping the shape of crumpled newspapers.
If there is no foil at hand, you can use colored paper or wrapping paper with a beautiful pattern in good condition.
The next step is wrapping the ball with thread or twine. It is advisable to use twine not thick, but threads, on the contrary, more dense. Bechev can be neatly painted with acrylics suitable for the composition of the color. Fruit topiaries are good in that the gamut of their execution can be very diverse, because it repeats the whimsical game of natural colors.
After the threads or string are covered with a thick layer of transparent glue, the ball is firmly fixed on a stick and no less firmly in the pot with a floral sponge.
Pot as a separate decorative element
When creating fruit topiaries, it should be remembered that any detail in the tree of happiness should harmoniously correspond to the general idea of the composition. You can buy a simple flower pot in bright colors and stop there, but this will be significant damage to the overall plan.
The pot needs the same careful decoration as the work of artificial fruit itself. It can be decorated with colored foil, layers of wound twine, followed by sticker beads or beads and painted with acrylics. You can decorate with a layer of small artificial fruits, inferior in diameter to those used in the main color scheme.
Depending on the size of the ball and the number of fruits, you may need a gypsum solution or polyurethane foam with wire spacers to keep the composition in balance. They fill the pot, using it as an additional element of decor, and then align or cut it for accuracy.
