Important! All details of the picture are best glued to double-sided tape - it holds well, but if desired, the notes can be easily removed without damage.

How to make a picture of money for a wedding in the form of a ship? Excerpts from geographical maps will serve as the background for the ship:

1. Select your favorite pieces from the geographic atlas and cut them out. There should be so many that the entire area of ​​the frame is closed.
2. Now this geographical background needs to age. This can be done using matches. To do this, set fire to the edges of the card with a match and keeping the paper from burning, put it out.
3. If you want to get burnt spots on the map, you need to hold it over a burning match, preventing the paper from burning through the fire.
4. Place the aged pieces of the card on the cardboard from the photo frame and glue them in the correct order on the double-sided tape.
5. Now you need to collect the ship from banknotes. The first tier of the ship is assembled from two bills. To do this, each bill must be bent along, on the one hand bent the bill across, on the other hand, bent at an angle and combine both bills together, putting one into the other.
6. The second tier of the ship consists of one bill, which must be bent along and bent from two edges at an angle.
7. Insert the second tier into the first.
8. Now you need to make the mast. We twist the bill with a tube, glue the end with double-sided tape. These tubes need two pieces.
9. We make sails. We fold the bill in half, then bend it with a triangle, and bend the excess back. We need three of these sails.
10. Now we collect our picture, we fix the details of the ship on the map with double-sided tape.
11. To decorate the rest of the picture, we use coins of different denominations, which we also attach to double-sided tape, decorate with twine, arbitrarily laying it out on a map. You can add your own touches. For example, put a compass if you have one.
12. When the composition is ready, cover it with glass and insert into the frame.
