When a special holiday is approaching - a wedding, an anniversary, graduation from a university - you really want to present something original and meaningful to the hero of the occasion.

How to make a carpet out of money with your own hands
A wedding carpet made from money is an original and fun idea. It will be useless in the household, but such a gift will bring a lot of pleasure to the young couple. The bills are laid out in rows, chaotically, in some kind of pattern. It is better to use bills of different denominations so that the pattern looks varied. To make a carpet out of money, place banknotes on fabric and cover with film. Sewing each piece of money by hand or by machine.
Necessary materials
To create a carpet for a wedding from money you will need:
Schemes for crafts
Before you start sewing, you need to think about the order in which the money will be placed. Lay them out on the fabric in several ways and see how it looks more original. Lay out the money in order or in the form of some kind of pattern. Carpets in which bills are arranged in sections look very interesting, for example, six bills together, arranged in a square, followed by another similar square after a short distance. The distance between the money squares is decorated, for example, with ribbons.
How to trim edges with fringe
When you have covered all the money, let's start decorating with fringe. Cover the top and sides with wide braid, and the bottom with fringe. It is not forbidden to completely decorate all edges with fringe. When you attach the braid, bend it in half, because it should be on the film and fabric side, so the edges will look much neater. It is better to sew on the fringe by hand, as some machines chew on the film and as a result the product will be damaged.
Original ways to give money for a wedding
Below are the most interesting and bright ways to give money to newlyweds for a wedding:
- A carpet made of money at a wedding will be a creative gift for the newlyweds. To do this, you need to insert banknotes between the layers of film, stitch the spaces between them, and attach fringe along the edges.
- Money tree is an ornamental plant decorated with money. To do this, buy an indoor flower/tree, and banknotes and coins are attached to it with tape. It looks original if the money is different: euros, dollars. Such a gift also needs to be presented in an original way: place a pot of soil in front of the bride and groom and ask them to plant a coin. Then the young ones close their eyes, and you quickly change the pot to a prepared money tree.
- An endless source of money - glue the bills together with weak tape so that the tape can be removed without any problems. We prepare a gift box that can open and close. Wrap the tape around the toilet paper holder. Place the gift inside the box, pushing the edge of the ribbon through the slot.
- Wedding Money Pillow – Use paper bills as filler for a beautiful decorative pillowcase. It is allowed to dilute the money filler with dried flowers.
- The cash gift is exchanged in small bills and placed inside a velvet bag. When presented, guests wish that the money could not be counted.
- Fill the piggy bank with money and give it to the newlyweds.
- We put the bills in a photo frame in the form of an abstract design, fan, flower or other shape. A seal is placed under them so that the money remains in the required position. Write congratulatory words on the seal itself.
- Money nesting doll - put the bills in an envelope, then in a bag, then in a small box, then in a large box. Wrap each package in beautiful paper. When presenting a gift, wish the newlyweds enough money, despite the fact that it is obtained the hard way.
- Savings book - we put the bills inside several envelopes, on each we write the purpose of the deposit. We make a cover from beautiful cardboard with the inscription “Savings book”, insert envelopes inside, and sew it together.
- An original idea is an umbrella with money tied to its spokes. The umbrella is given closed, and the young people must open it. While opening the umbrella, say the words of the famous song “The most important thing is the weather in the house.”
- Treasure Chest – Purchase a chest from the gift shop. Exchange your cash gift with coins and fill your chest with it. In addition, add beautiful stones that are sold in flower shops. This way the gift will look like a real pirate chest.
- Jar with money - an inscription is pasted on a three-liter jar - greens with vegetables, dried herbs, cauliflower. The jar is filled with money and given to the newlyweds.
- Money balls - newlyweds are given a huge box wrapped in wrapping paper. It must be opened immediately. When the box is opened, helium-filled balloons fly out with money attached to them or they are placed in the balloon itself.
- Money bouquet - banknotes are rolled into tubes, roses and carefully inserted into the finished flower bouquet.
- Money cake - all bills are rolled up into tubes and secured with rubber bands. The cake is built on a stand. It is tied with beautiful ribbons to keep its shape.
- Casket – purchase a large casket with several compartments. Folded bills are placed inside.
- Magic chest - a cardboard chest is made, decorated with ribbons, inscriptions, photographs, and other little things at your request. The chest is filled with several chiffon scarves tied together. The bride and groom open the chest, take one handkerchief, and pull out a whole chain several meters long. Beneath them, at the very bottom, is a cash gift.
- A real mini-safe is ordered from a specialist and presented to the young couple along with money and the keys to it. Upon delivery, offer to store all savings in this safe.
- Buy a decorative sailing boat from a gift shop and insert banknotes instead of sails.
- Kinder surprise - buy a large chocolate egg, carefully separate the halves of the egg, take out the toys. Place rolled up banknotes in a box, place them in a chocolate egg, and place them together. Run a heated spoon along the seam of the chocolate. Wrap it in packaging and give it to the young ones.
- Money vase – line the inner walls of a beautiful vase with money. Secure on top with foil. Fill the vase itself with sweets so that the entire structure does not fall apart during the holiday.

Craft product Gift wrapping Wedding Sewing Expensive gift Oilcloth Ribbons Soutache braid cord
This is how we gave wedding money to friends. The idea is not new, but everyone liked the execution. A carpet of 50 ruble bills, and in the center a heart of 100 ruble bills.
The heart is highlighted with red roses made of satin ribbons. And the edges of the bedspread are trimmed with fringe.
When they gave it as a gift, the rug was very smooth, and then, apparently, the young people wrinkled it))) (photo kindly provided by the young people))
And we presented it with a poem. I found a poem about a money carpet on the Internet. The rug has been lying with the young couple for a month, unpacked.
Cool, the money is real, how much is it?
The money is real. 14,800 rubles were removed. I didn’t know where to put another 200 rubles))))
super! how was this done?
First, I drew up a plan for the carpet in Excel so that the required amount would be removed and it would be beautiful and symmetrical. Then 15,000 rubles were exchanged: we needed 86 pieces of 100-ruble bills, and 124 pieces of 50-ruble bills
I bought thick greenhouse film, folded it in half and placed a bill between the layers on the fold. I stitched the film from one edge of the bill, then put the next one right next to this one and stitched it again from one edge. And so 21 rows of 10 bills each. Those. It turned out that only the horizontal rows were stitched, and so that the bills would sit tightly, then I stitched the vertical rows as well. The money is not wired! Only the film was stitched. At first I wanted to do it all on a typewriter, but she didn’t like the film
, and this “structure” turned out to be cumbersome and painful. So I sewed everything by hand. Well, at the end I sewed a fringe around the perimeter, twisted roses from ribbon and glued them with a gun, highlighting the heart. I also glued rhinestones: red on the heart, and transparent on the rest of the carpet, but they are not visible in the photo. That's all. I didn’t feel my fingers for three days afterwards)))))
Wow. what a job!
Low bow to you for such work!
Method No. 1 – Collage of money for newlyweds-travelers
For newlyweds who love to travel, you can prepare a special surprise. Create a kind of collage of currencies from different countries of the world, the more there are, the better. It is not at all necessary to have only large bills (you can use several solid ones, for example, 100 euros or 100 dollars), the main thing for a collage is variety.
You will definitely surprise the newlyweds with such an original gift. In addition, read the congratulations in poetic form, because poems for a gift (money for a wedding) will be an ideal addition. Mention that the young people now need to visit all the countries of the world whose banknotes are in your gift.
Method No. 2 – Present under glass
You can present cash gifts for a wedding in another, no less interesting way - in a frame, for this you will need a photo frame. You need to hand it over with the words: “Now you have this glass, breaking it, you will instantly solve your material problems and regain happiness.”
We wanted to give you a painting,
But we thought - what if there really is? Then there were arguments about the car... And there were countless proposals!
We decided that we’ve had enough questions, We’re already tired of thinking, And we simply give this money, So that you can choose everything for yourself!
Other ideas
Also, banknotes are used to make postcards, topiaries, and complement them with embroidery and paintings.
You can assemble a house or a cake from banknotes, hide them in many gift boxes, placed one inside the other.
Many people like to make a collage in a frame made of money. To do this, you will need a regular photo frame into which money is carefully glued. Banknotes can be supplemented with wishes or funny inscriptions. You can add photographs or paintings made of money to the frame - your imagination is not limited.
An umbrella with money is also an unusual option. Banknotes are attached to the open umbrella with a fishing line, then it is carefully closed and given as a gift in its closed form. At the holiday, it is suggested to open the umbrella “for trying on”. When it opens, it creates a money rain effect.
Method number 5 – Unusual umbrella
Another way to give money is to give an umbrella with money. Use a regular umbrella, put banknotes inside that are tied on threads. The musical accompaniment can be the chorus of a song about the weather in the house. At the end, open an umbrella over the newlyweds, thus symbolizing a simple solution to financial problems.
We recommend that you see what such a surprise looks like “live.” In the video below, the newlyweds had to work before the umbrella opened. Fun, isn't it?
Method No. 7 – Decorative cake
Is everything wrong? Then look at how unusual it is to give money for a wedding. Then make a money cake for your wedding day; the newlyweds will definitely love it.
On a note:
You can make a ship in the same way.
A detailed description of creating a decorative wedding cake is presented in the video tutorial.
Or give a “money cake with wishes”!
Place pre-printed wishes for the newlyweds in each piece of cake.
When all the cake pieces are filled, place them on a tray or wooden plate (available at Ikea) and tie them with satin ribbon to prevent them from moving apart. Place the plate itself in a transparent gift bag and tie it with a huge bow.
Method number 8 – Money in the bank
Various gifts are given at weddings, but there are very few funny presents. If the newlyweds have a good sense of humor, prepare money for them in the bank. It's best to do everything yourself. The procedure is very simple:
We invite you to choose any of the wishes below.
I give you a jar!
It's for storing anything, or maybe jam!
May it come in handy in your household. And it won’t break, And it won’t get dusty!
How to make a cool present
Cheerful individuals are often interested in how to give funny money for a wedding or other holiday. Comic DIY gifts for women and men can become the highlight of the holiday.
You can issue a cash gift under the guise of a raffle. Such funny options include bills hidden in a roll of toilet paper.
Also, many people want to veil not the packaging, but the donation process itself. Then you can ask the hero of the day to guess what is hidden in the big, big box. In the process, you can ask him suggestive riddles.
Another unusual option is to grow money in a pot right at the holiday. At the beginning of the banquet, the hero of the occasion plants several coins in a pot of soil. A little later, he is given the same pot with a live or artificial plant on which the money has “grown.”
A gift with a joke can be in verse. For the listed funny options, you can prepare the following quatrain: “I give money to a friend, because I love him like a brother, but the bill is also valuable, so I give it away slowly” or “A woman really needs money for greatness and beauty, I’ll toss her banknotes, because It’s not easy for her to carry her burden.” Even if you just say “we’re giving you ten for free,” it will be very nice.
A funny presentation of money always lifts your spirits, so it’s worth thinking about how to give banknotes as a joke, of course, if your friend has a sense of humor.
Method No. 9 – Gift passbook
Here’s another fun way to give money for a wedding: make a savings book. How to create:
To make the gift more colorful and original, write humorous poems on each “leaf” of the passbook, similar to those given below.
1. Although your happiness does not lie in money, you cannot live without it. We decided to give you a savings book first.
2. An account has been opened for you in Sberbank, the interest on the deposit will be high! We will invest a lot of money, or a little, but in the bank your money will turn into capital!
And each envelope has its own text:
FOR FURNITURE: Don’t waste your money, buy furniture wisely, so that it lasts for hundreds of years, and never wears out.
FOR CHILDREN: Take it to your savings book, What is appropriate for children: For diapers, for panties, and for other needs.
FOR THE BRIDE: For you, (name of the bride), for outfits, for sweets, for lipsticks. Spend your money wisely, but don't tell your husband.
FOR ENTERTAINMENT: For dancing, for cinema, for accordion and for piano. We have also provided for it, we have not spared you any money.
TO THE GARAGE: Buy a car later, We think you’ll be lucky, So that it doesn’t get ruined, We put it in the garage first.
FOR ANYTHING: For Hawaiian cigars, For decent wine... Even if they put it in an envelope, I still feel sorry for the money.
IN TIMES OF CRISIS: If a rainy day has come, then in this case open the last envelope and do not torture yourself.
FOR THE GROOM: (Groom's name), for love cupids And for women on the side You don't expect bills from us, Instead of money - you don't care!
Leave the last envelope empty!

DIY cash gift
In the bank
A cash gift packaged in a glass or tin jar is the most popular option after standard envelopes. They put real money here, mixed with fake toy ones, and roll them up into a tube, and fill it with change. The main condition is to fill the jar completely.
Naturally, the larger the jar itself, the more impressive its presentation looks.
After filling the container, you can start decorating it. Here satin and silk ribbons, lace, twine and other decoration elements will come to the rescue. They can be used to bandage such non-standard packaging to your taste.
Another option for preparing a jar is to order an individual label for it with congratulations and inscriptions appropriate to the celebration.
Another condition for registering money as a gift in a bank is its lid. The container can be rolled up like a can; some people prefer temporary rubber lids, which can also be decorated to match the style of the entire jar.
The photographs show how you can make a cash gift in a bank:
Carpet
You can creatively play up a gift with the help of a money rug. Such a gift will be especially appropriate if the party is being organized in the style of the USSR or the 90s, because in those days it was fashionable to give carpets.
In order to “weave” a money carpet yourself, you will need:
If you are thinking of a beautiful way to give money to a girl, consider making a fan out of money.
You can take a ready-made fan-souvenir as a basis, and attach banknotes to it. Or you can make such a base yourself, for example, from wire. String money onto a wire by folding and twisting, or take the thinnest tape and secure the money with it.
If you have minimal origami skills, you can make such a fan entirely from banknotes without any additional base.
Souvenir
Regarding how to give money in an original way, the option of making a souvenir with your own hands for a child or an adult is a great idea that takes time, which makes the gift even more enjoyable.
