Content
Coffee beans are ideal for interior decoration. Crafts from such a material are quite original and unusual. Moreover, the process itself does not cause difficulties and does not require the acquisition of a large number of additional devices. Even financially, such a hobby will not require serious waste.
DIY coffee tree
A decorative tree made of coffee beans will perfectly decorate both residential and office premises. To make such a craft from coffee, you will need the following materials:
- PVA glue and a piece of foam;
- gypsum and stick for the base of the trunk;
- any ribbon or braid;
- coffee beans themselves;
- small flower pot;
- strong threads of a brown shade.
A tree of coffee beans is made quite simply. First, from a piece of foam it is necessary to form a ball of medium diameter, which is then wrapped with brown threads. Their ends are fixed with glue. In the resulting ball, you need to determine the place where the stick will be inserted for the base of the future tree. The threads in this place need a little push. After that, the whole ball is glued over with grains, leaving the area for the trunk empty. When the first coffee layer is applied, you can proceed to the second layer. And here it is already better to use superglue, and apply the grains with the convex part down.
The finished ball must be set aside to dry completely. When the glue dries, you need to insert a stick for the barrel in a previously freed place. Next, the gypsum mixture is poured into the pot itself, which can be mixed with coffee grounds. And in this composition is placed the barrel with the top of the coffee. Gypsum can be sprinkled on top with nuts or colorful pebbles. At the end, the trunk is wrapped with a ribbon.
By analogy, you can create different expositions of twine and grains of various shapes and themes.
Such coffee crafts will not only look original in any room, but will also exude an incredible aroma, thereby filling the room with a coffee smell.
Cup soaring in the air
Another craft using coffee beans is a cup, as if floating in the air. To do this is also not difficult. From the materials you will need:
- strong fix glue;
- a small coffee cup and saucer;
- coffee beans;
- mass for modeling;
- wire.
First you need to bend the wire into any shape, but so that you can then hang a cup on it, and the second end is attached to the base of the saucer with glue. Then the wire is covered with a sticky mass. From it as if the effect of pouring milk is created, and when this composition dries, outwardly it will resemble a foam, which can be painted brown. Then this mass will need to be pasted over with coffee beans, on top of which a cup is attached. Visually, a feeling should be created, as if a hot drink is pouring from a mug that is floating in the air. And such handicrafts made of coffee are not ashamed to present as a gift to a close friend or relative. They fit perfectly into the interior of the kitchen, giving the whole room a touch of sincerity.
Coffee Pictures
DIY coffee crafts can look very impressive and stylish, especially when it comes to paintings painted with this deliciously smelling raw material.To make such an interior item, you must follow several steps:
- A square is cut out of ordinary cardboard the size of which scale you want to have a picture.
- The same size must be cut out a piece of fabric, but at the same time leave a little margin at the edges.
- The cardboard should be greased with a glue stick and a piece of prepared material should be firmly glued to it, while the remaining edges are fixed on the back side.
- When the fabric dries, a preliminary sketch of the desired pattern can be applied to it with a simple pencil. It can be a heart, various abstractions and even geometric shapes.
- Then, using superglue, coffee beans are laid out and glued on the sketch with the convex side. It is better to start with the contours, gradually filling the core itself.
- The final step will be to frame the picture, which also uses these grains.
The result is interesting interior items that can decorate the wall of the kitchen or living room.
Wax Coffee Crafts
The cutest accessories are obtained when coffee beans are combined with wax candles, which, due to this decoration, gain a new life. And such coffee crafts will be great presentations for all your friends. To make such accessories you will need:
- wick and the necessary shape;
- coffee beans and paraffin candles;
- various small details for decoration.
When all the necessary materials are prepared, you can proceed to the manufacturing process itself.
First, the candles are rubbed, and then melted in a water bath. Grains of coffee are added to the melted paraffin. In the center of the pencil, a wick is fixed from one end, and the pencil itself is laid out in a pre-prepared form. In this case, the free end of the wick falls down. After that, the form is filled with paraffin with coffee aroma. As a fixing layer, you can melt another candle and fill it with its mass. When the whole mixture has dried, the candle comes out of shape and is decorated at will. And such a craft would be appropriate for any occasion. Or it can simply become a table decoration during a Sunday family dinner.
Photo frame with coffee plaque
A photo frame decorated with coffee beans can become a fairly light and elementary craft. To do this, you need to put a newspaper or paper on the surface of the table on which the photo frame is placed.
If it is white, then it can be painted in some kind of golden or silver color. And when the paint dries, you need to cover the photo frame with glue and start spreading coffee beans on it. This can be done in a chaotic manner, or you can lay out some symmetrical pattern from them. And from above, these grains can also be coated with spray paint or sparkles. Very often, with such decoration, twine is used, with which you can create a mill or a hut. Such a photo frame will appeal to anyone. But, the main thing is that if it is presented as a gift, the recipient will definitely appreciate such a gesture. Indeed, such an exclusive thing will only be with him, while it will be made by the hands of a dear person and with a soul.
Crafts from coffee - this is what you can do yourself at home, without putting any effort into it and without spending a lot of financial resources on it. The only thing that needs to be considered when furnishing your interior with such home-made designer things is that such products cannot be washed, and dust also accumulates on them, so each coffee product is best covered with a moisture-proof varnish. And then such a unique craft can be safely presented to friends and acquaintances who can decorate their home with unusual and fragrant accessories.
