| You can use just about any one of the metal or artificial ornament trees in our store to create a money tree. We've put a few of them on a separate page of metal ornament trees that you can use to create money trees. We pulled out the trees in our shop with many arms and wide spaces between levels that allow room for hanging bills or small gifts. Our selection includes colored, silver money trees, gold money trees and, rotating trees with many arms that could also work. HINT: Don't buy a tree with only four arms when you are trying to encourage people to give generously to a loved one or cause. Make room for a miracle and you'll get it. :-) Using our Family Photo Tree as a money tree Recently, a customer inquired about using a photo tree as a money tree for a retirement party. Truthfully, it never occurred to us that our family photo frames or photo trees with frames would work equally well as a money tree. For the party, fold the money with the Presidents facing out as shown in the example above. After the party, the recipient has a beautiful memento in which to display photos of their loved ones. Here are a few creative suggestions for personalizing the money gifts if yours is a family money tree: put the money in small, colorful envelopes 6" x 9" envelopes colored 3" x 6" coin envelopes tag or colored envelopes (like those use by cashiers, etc.) use a decorative hole punch to make a hole in the envelope and add a hanging ribbon add colorful stickers or stamps to the envelopes use metallic markers to write wise sayings regarding money or personal sentiments on the outside of the envelopes let the kids in the family decorate the envelopes with colorful or metallic markers
Attach money / gifts to the tree using: gum bands (rubber bands to the rest of America) :-) partially unbend large (2") silver or gold paperclips - unwind the top section and place the money in the bottom section unbend then, spray paint large paper clips to change or add color if you wish string, yarn, cord, clear filament attached to paper clips or to the item you want to hang pretty ribbons (1/4" - 1/2" wide) attached to paper clips or to the item you want to hang colorful (spray painted) spring clothespins tied to the tree with yarn or a ribbon alligator clips, document binder clips, round report binders tied to or hung on the tree mini photo clips for a Christmas money tree (sometimes available in craft stores) jumbo binder clips (spray paint these also) large jump (also called bypass) rings: fold the money in half, slide money through one portion of the ring and place the ring on the tree miniature photo frames with bills/ money folded to fit inside paper coin holders - sealed at the bottom, one hole punched in the top, bills folded and inserted, wind a thin ribbon through hole; spray paint if desired shower rings with a clip on the end; use tape on the money to prevent the clip from piercing it good old fashioned tape! (clear Scotch gift wrap tape, any type of removable colored vinyl tape) Money tree hooks: fold the paper like a fan or in half, then half again, insert in the lower portion of the hook and fold in the middle. Money photo tree hooks with a clip: unique way to secure just about any type of lightweight item to one of our trees. Miniature photo frames under 3" total for the width or the height is better for small trees. Taller floor height trees can accommodate a photo frames 3" x 5" or 4" x 6".
Securing money / gifts on the tree: If you do not want to put the money in envelopes, use decorative silver 2" or larger metal paper clips. Attach the money on one end then, wind a pretty ribbon through the other end. Ribbon that is 1/8" - 1/4" wide should suffice. The ribbon can be color matched to the decorating scheme of your event. A trip to your local office supply store or craft store will help to stir up your creativity! :-) |
