Topiary of paper - master class

So, let's start creating a beautiful craft:

1. First we prepare a plaster solution. We put the mass in the container (we have a can) and install a stick in the plaster.
2. While the gypsum dries, we create a ball-base. It's good if you have a plastic ball or a large Christmas tree toy. If it is not, then simply twist the sheets of newspaper into a ball and fix with glue.
3. Now let's start making flowers from topiary paper. Effectively look these decorative elements from the newspaper or pages of the book. Cut out the oval from the paper.
4. Then draw on it a circle of spiral marker and pencil.
5. Scissors cut this spiral and wrap it in a circle, starting from the center.
6. It is convenient to wrap the paper on a pencil. In the core of the resulting bud, we drip glue.
7. In a similar way, we create the rest of the flowers for our topiary.
8. By the way, if the newspaper as a material you do not like, you can exactly the same make a topiary of colored paper, curling buds out of a spiral.
9. Gently begin to decorate the base with the flowers, gluing them one at a time to the ball.
10. The trunk of the topiary is decorated with string or twine, applying glue to the stick beforehand. You can wrap the string with a stand, which is then recommended to be treated with an aerosol paint of silver color. We close the plaster coins (luckily). That's all!
