Coffee beans are a versatile material

Simple and boring household items can be transformed beyond recognition by pasting over coffee beans.

If you decide to try to create a small masterpiece that will decorate your abode, then the first thing you should do is buy the right coffee beans. For this, packed packs of coffee in an opaque container, in which you cannot see the purchase, are not suitable - it is better to give preference to stores where coffee is sold by weight.

Also, you should not buy Arabica beans, as grains of different sizes are required for greater unusualness and texture. Therefore, give preference to a cheaper variety.

It is better to use grains of various sizes in the works, rather than selected Arabica.

The simplest coffee crafts do not require many tools - all you need is a glue gun and a decoration blank on which the beans will be glued.

After completion of the work, it can be coated with a colorless varnish.

Crafts from twine and coffee

An extraordinary vase, cup or even a flower pot can be made from twine and coffee beans. The simplest option would be a decorative scented candle, which can not only be used for aesthetic purposes in your home, but also given to loved ones.

Twine can be purchased at any hardware or craft store.

Making a decorative candle is very simple, and the final result directly depends on your imagination:

   2. This can be done around the entire circumference of the candle or up to its middle
   3. After that, using a glue gun, fasten the ends of the twine to the candle so that it fits snugly against its surface, without protruding and without forming a void. You can also do without glue by melting small sections of the candle and pressing the twine into the surface of the candle
   4. A candle wrapped with twine is glued with coffee beans to the middle, doing this in rows, so that the layer of twine under the grains is not visible.
   5. At the final stage, the grains are painted with a colorless varnish, which will provide shine and make it easier to wipe the structure from dust in the future.

Instead of a scented candle, you can also use a regular one.

The finished candle can be decorated with beads if you want to give it a more festive look or if you want to dip the beans inside the melted wax along the edge of the candle.

Craft picture from coffee

For beginner needlewomen and needlewomen, creating a picture from coffee beans will be a great pastime. It will not only become a wonderful piece of furniture that will fit into almost any stop of your monastery, but will also be a good gift for loved ones. The plot of a "coffee" picture can be very different: from a traditional steaming cup of coffee to a grandiose artistic canvas.

The plot is only limited by your imagination.

The most common subject of "coffee" paintings is coffee itself.

For a picture of coffee beans you will need:

• thick cardboard
• piece of fabric (preferably light and smooth, but if coarse burlap fits into the concept of your masterpiece, feel free to use it)
• coffee beans
• leg-split
• stencils
• picture frame
• decorative beads, ribbons or even dried leaves
• colorless varnish

If the coffee beans are not dark enough, they can be roasted in a pan.

The process of making a painting is not laborious and requires only accuracy and creativity. Following a step-by-step guide, you can easily recreate the intended image from coffee beans:

1. Cover a thick sheet of cardboard with a cloth, securing it with glue on the opposite side
   2. Think over the plot of the picture and use stencils to hover over the image (if there are no stencils, then a simple device will replace them: print the picture on a thin sheet of paper and circle it with cosmetic shadows or blush, reshoot the picture on canvas)
   3. After that, carefully glue the coffee beans
   5. Decorate the outline of the drawing with twine, attaching it to the picture with glue
   6. Finishing touch: cover the coffee beans with a colorless varnish, and after drying, insert the picture into the frame

To facilitate the task, coffee beans can be glued directly onto the drawing.

In order for the picture and the frame to be in a single style and color composition, it is better to choose a dark brown frame. So the picture will create the impression of completeness and will delight the eye with aesthetics.

Do-it-yourself coffee bean topiary

For those who consider paintings made of coffee and candles pasted over with coffee beans, there is also a more difficult craft - topiary, child's play. This “tree of happiness”, as it is customary to call it in Europe, will become a real work of art, and the time spent on the topiary will more than pay off when all the guests begin to admire such a sophisticated masterpiece and even envy your skill.

Topiary is modern and fashionable

For the topiary you will need:

• coffee beans
• thick cardboard
• A4 paper
• glue or glue gun
• small jar or box, cut bottle
• clothespins
• brown paint (you can use quality paints for painting)
• thick wire

A ready-made blank can be used as a heart

It is most convenient to glue the grains with a glue gun, but in the absence of it, you can use a simple glue.

Work sequence:

1. Folding a sheet of paper in half, draw a half of the heart and cut it out so that when you turn the sheet, you get a whole heart
   2. Attach a paper heart to a sheet of cardboard and redraw it, and then cut it out with scissors
   3. Glue a piece of wire or a curved piece of wood to form the stem of the topiary
   4. Using cotton wool or cotton pads laid out in layers, create the volume of the figure by gluing them to the cardboard heart
   5. Wrap the resulting heart with twine in different directions to secure the structure. Wrap the wire tightly to the very end with it.
   6. Paint the resulting design with a small foam sponge
   7. While the painted tree dries, form a pot for it: separate the wooden clothespins and glue them over a jar or box so that it looks like a wooden tub. You can paint the pot in any color, or you can leave it as it is.
   8. Glue the dried “crown” of the tree tightly with coffee beans so that they fit right next to each other and no empty gaps are visible. You can apply grains in several layers, on top of each other - such randomness will only add gloss to the craft
   9. Fill the finished topiary pot with gypsum and place a tree in it
   10. After the plaster has dried, the tree can be decorated with ribbons, flowers and beads to your liking.

Topiaries come in a variety of shapes.

Trees from coffee beans

If the heart-shaped crown seems irrelevant and uninteresting to you, then you can form a topiary with a spherical crown. This will require a blank, which can be purchased at a needlework store, in the form of a foam ball or any ball that you can find at home and the material of which will allow you to put it on a wire.

Topiary with a spherical crown

Making a ball-shaped topiary is practically the same as a topiary with a heart-shaped crown, but the work will be greatly facilitated due to the fact that you can skip the initial stages of crown formation and start immediately by staining the crown brown. Next, follow the instructions above.

"Tree of Happiness"

For this you will need:

• Workpiece (fabric, cardboard, plastic, etc.);
• Glue, scissors, thick rope for a loop, thread, needle;
• Coffee beans;
• Decorative elements: beads, buttons, stones, herbs, spices, etc.;
• Details for framing panels and paintings: sticks, matches, pods, etc.

On a flat surface, it is necessary to place the workpiece and fix it so that it does not move. Align the edges of the workpiece and trim as needed. Lay out the desired plot of coffee beans and mark its edges with a pencil or soap. Open the glue, applying a drop of glue to each coffee bean, apply to the workpiece and press firmly. Hold for 10 seconds and start gluing the next grains. When the plot is ready, you need to take the work into a frame from the prepared materials, gluing the elements with glue, and also make a loop of thread on the inside of the work in order to hang it on the wall. The last element is decorating the work with decorative elements.

In ancient Egypt, in order to make a topiary, it was necessary to find a plant with a lush crown, and give it a bizarre shape. Nowadays, this process has become simpler, but no less interesting.

Giving space to your imagination, you can make an original product even from beans, the main thing is to show a desire.

We propose to make a do-it-yourself bean topiary from improvised materials, without using a blank in the form of a ball and a flower pot. To do this, you will need old newspapers, threads, glue, a disposable cup, alabaster or plaster, a dry twig, white paint, burlap and various decorative items.

First of all, you will need to crumple the newspapers and make the lump as round and even as possible.

Then we fix this shape with threads and coat the ball with glue.

We make a hole in the ball with threads.

We cover the branch with white paint.

And we put a paper-thread ball on it.

We breed alabaster in a disposable cup.

And we immerse the topiary blank into it. We are waiting for the alabaster to harden. Cut off the excess part of the plastic cup.

And we cover it with green synthetic winterizer, fluff or fluffy yarn - depending on what is available.

We arm ourselves with a glue gun and begin to paste over the workpiece with bean grains.

Well, the last grain is glued, the bean craft is almost made with your own hands, the photo of which you now see! It remains only to give it the necessary gloss.

To do this, we take burlap, fold it in half and grease it with glue.

We wrap a cup with this burlap, placing the fold at the top.

Bend the bottom edge under the bottom of the cup.

Cut out a round bottom from the remnants of burlap.

Glue the bottom to the bottom of the cup.

And on top we decorate the glass with the remnants of green filler.

We take two wooden skewers for barbecue. We break one in half, the second we break into small pieces.

We glue a miniature dummy ladder.

We cut out two wings of a butterfly from felt, glue its body from beads.

We collect the butterfly and stick it on the ball.

We revive a couple of beans by drawing eyes on them. We put one bean on a ladder, the second - in a pot.

Now the bean craft with your own hands is done to the end!

Craft "bean topiary"

Of course, you can decorate it as you wish, taking into account what occasion the craft is being prepared for, and this is the beauty of homemade topiaries: they can be given any look, based on the same materials.

Bean painting (video):

Bean box (video):

You will need:

- the basis for the panel (canvas of small size and white color)
- simple pencil
- brush
- paints (gouache, for example)
- glue
- acrylic lacquer
- beans of two colors

First you need to put a canvas in front of you and draw on it with a simple pencil what you want to see in the finished work. It can be the outline of a teapot or a jug. In addition to the depicted object itself, you can also make an inscription.

Then comes the paint stage. In this master class, the drawing will be made of black beans, so the teapot is sketched in black paint (for the background). If you have white or purple beans, cover the drawing with the same paint color.

Wait for the paint to dry and apply a layer of glue to the drawing itself. We are talking specifically about the teapot: try not to get glue on the background of the work.

Now you can glue the cooked beans to the canvas. Grain to grain, cover the entire pattern with beans.

Do not forget to decorate with beans and the inscription under the picture.

Now you can cover with glue and the background of the work. Attach the larger beans where the background should be. If you laid out the drawing with small white beans, then the background can be made from large purple beans. Other color options are also possible, but it is best that they are sufficiently contrasting.

To protect the beans from insects, they must be varnished. Ideally, spray acrylic varnish from a spray bottle (this way it will cover all the parts of the work), but you can simply apply varnish with a brush. Then wait for the varnish to dry and hang the panel on the wall!
