Consider in detail the master class on how to make a money cake for a wedding celebration. This is a simple process, even a person who is far from creativity can easily cope with it. The main thing is to clearly and step by step follow the instructions for making a wedding gift below.

Before you begin to make a cash wedding gift, you need to take care of the material that will be required in the work.

The main emphasis, of course, is on banknotes. They must be prepared in advance. The best option is to create a cake from banknotes of the same denomination. So the bills will not be full of different colors, and the gift itself will look beautiful and original. Be prepared for the fact that on average you will need from 100 to 150 bills.It is better if they are new, whole, without traces of pollution and other blots, as this can ruin the appearance of a wedding present, and all efforts will be in vain.

Both national and foreign currencies can act as banknotes that will decorate the wedding cake, everything will depend on the size of the budget that you are willing to spend on a gift for the newlyweds. Dollars, for example, can be exchanged for small denominations.

In addition to money, you will also need:

• several leaves of dense and flexible cardboard of white color;
• glue - PVA is the best option, it will allow you to securely fasten the entire structure;
• office paper clips - it is best to purchase a bundle right away, since quite a lot of them will be required in the process of work;
• a simple pencil, ruler and compass;
• scissors;
• a variety of ribbons, beads, artificial flowers, butterflies - they will be used to decorate the cake.

The classic model of a wedding cake is a product that consists of three tiers. If you are on a budget, then you can get by with a two-tier wedding cake.

At the heart of such a gift should be located low cylinders of cardboard. In shape, they should look like a hat-cylinder. Depending on how many tiers the money cake will have, how many cylinders you will need to make. These figures must be made with the same height, but differ in diameter. Such cylinders are located one above the other: below will be the largest figure in diameter, and above - the smallest.

Consider the process of making a cake out of money for a wedding with your own hands step by step.

At the base of the cake will be the cylinder with the largest diameter. To make it, you need to draw a circle with a diameter of 30 centimeters on thick cardboard. In the middle of this circle, draw a small circle with a diameter of 25 centimeters.

Carefully cut a large circle using stationery scissors.

It is necessary to draw a rectangle on soft cardboard: its length is 80 centimeters, and the width will be equal to the height of the bill. This rectangle will be used as a side for the cylinder. In order for the product to adhere well, approximately 1.5 centimeters on each side of the rectangle must be retreated. This distance will be used as seam allowances.

Cut a rectangle. The distance that you left for the seams must be made in the form of cloves. With the help of incised particles, it will be easier to glue the flange to the base of the cylinder. The part of the rectangle that acts as an allowance for the seams must be bent at right angles to the side. It must be glued to the circle, located around the inner circle, the diameter of which was 25 centimeters. For this, the edges of the side should be smeared with glue and held for several minutes until they adhere to the cardboard base. Lateral edges also need to be glued with an overlap, having closed a vertical side in a ringlet.

The process of attaching banknotes to the lower tier of the money cake is as follows:

1. you need to take one banknote and twist it into a tube not too tight, the diameter of such a product should be approximately equal to 2.5 cm;
2. apply a tube folded from a banknote to the side so that its outer end rests against the cylinder and is located on the left side;
3. using a paper clip, you need to attach the top of the tube to the top of the side;
4. with the next banknote, do the same, folding the same tube out of it.

The second money tube should be located on the left side of the first, adjacent to it closely. It is also attached with a paper clip.

Please note that the wedding cake made of notes looks harmonious, all banknotes should be folded into tubes of the same size.

Slowly moving around the circumference, you can decorate the lower part of the wedding gift with cash tubes.

The manufacturing process of the second tier will occur in a similar way, as well as the production of the first tier. You will only have to cut a circle of smaller diameter, equal to 25 centimeters ÷, using thick cardboard. In the middle of this circle, you also need to draw another small circle, the diameter of which is 20 centimeters.

In order to make a side, you need to cut a rectangle from soft cardboard, the length of which will be equal to 66 centimeters, and the height corresponds to the height of the banknotes. And also do not forget to retreat a little space for the seam allowance.

In the same way that you made and decorated the first cylinder with money tubes, you need to make a second tier.

If you will present a two-tier cake of money for a wedding, then you can proceed to the direct assembly of the product.

If your cake will have three tiers, then you need to make the top tier in the same way. Its parameters are:

• a large circle whose diameter is 20 centimeters;
• inner circle with a diameter equal to 15 centimeters;
• a rectangle whose length is 50 centimeters.

When all three tiers are ready, you can begin to directly assemble the wedding gift.

The lower part of the middle cylinder should be smeared with glue and attached on top to the largest cylinder. Hold it with your hands so that the tiers are well glued to each other. You need to wait a few minutes until the glue is completely dry.

In a similar way, the top tier is attached.

Do not rush, do everything very carefully so that the glue does not spread and does not splatter during operation. If he gets on the bills, then they will stick to the paper base, and it will be very difficult for the newlyweds to separate them. This can ruin the gift, because a young family should use the money for its intended purpose, and not just admire your gift.

When the money cake is ready, you can begin the final stage - to decorate it beautifully, giving a festive appearance.

Wrap each tier of cake with ribbons, their ends should be decorated with large bows. The lower part of the highest tier should be decorated with artificial flowers. Place them tightly against each other so that the cardboard is not visible.

In the remaining lower sections, you can place small flowers and bows made of organza. On large flowers, you can arrange decorative butterflies.

To give artificial flowers a more natural look, you can paste rhinestones on their petals that will mimic dew drops. Do not limit your imagination, and you will get a beautifully decorated money cake.

When the wedding present is ready, it can be placed in a specially prepared decorative box or placed on a beautifully decorated tray, by analogy with the usual cake.

Now you are ready to go to a wedding celebration and surprise the newlyweds and other guests present with their extraordinary gift, as well as the craftsmanship of making a cake out of money for a wedding with their own hands.

Presenting a cake from notes, try to prepare in advance and say the corresponding congratulations. Presenting a money cake, wish the newlyweds good material welfare and replenishment of the family budget. You can also not be limited to the wishes of monetary accents only. Wish a married couple happiness, health and passionate feelings that they can carry through a long happy family life.
