Coffee beans are not only a product for brewing a delicious invigorating drink, but also an excellent material for making decorative elements. They have a pleasant smell, interesting texture and rich color. Therefore, they are so often used in creating a wide variety of crafts.

Including topiaries, artificially created trees, often decorated with Arabica or Robusta grains. In this article, we will share with you an interesting master class called "Coffee Tree". From grain we will make with you a very beautiful tree of happiness, which can become not only an original interior item, but also an excellent gift for relatives and friends. It is not difficult to make this craft, the main thing is to stock up on the necessary materials, and, of course, do not forget about the excellent mood.

Coffee tree fromgrains: preparing tools and materials

To work, you need to purchase the following materials and tools:

• newspaper;
• threads;
• brown corrugated paper;
• hot gun or titanium glue;
• coffee beans;
• a branch about 20 cm long;
• twine;
• mug or pot;
• medium size pebbles;
• plasticine;
• decorative elements for decoration - cinnamon stick, ribbons, anise star, etc.

We start making a decorative tree from coffee beans by making a crown. To do this, take one sheet of newspaper and crumple it, giving it the shape of a ball. Wrap the workpiece with four more sheets. We wrap the resulting spherical blank with threads and wrap it with brown corrugated paper. Thanks to this paper, when sticking grains on a ball, ugly pieces of newspaper will not be visible. We fix our ball again with a thread.

Coffee tree from grain: making a topiary trunk and assembling the structure

The second stage of work is to make a trunk for our tree of happiness. We take the prepared dry twig and carefully wrap it with twine. That's all, the trunk is ready. Now we connect the ball and the twig: we make a small hole in the "crown" that fits the diameter of the trunk. We apply glue to one end of the branch and insert it into the ball. Our topiary has already acquired the necessary shape, which means that we can proceed to a pleasant design work.

In order for our topiary to become really coffee, it is necessary to decorate its crown with Arabica beans. To do this, take the glue and a small stick or brush. Gently spread the glue over the newspaper ball with a stick and glue all the grains in turn. It is desirable to attach the coffee as tightly as possible, leaving no gaps between the grains. As a result, we get a fragrant, beautiful tree of happiness. But our work is not finished - the topiary needs a pot. We take the prepared container and place pebbles in it so that the craft is more stable. We put the trunk of our tree in a pot. We cover the stones on top with artistic plasticine, tightly lay the material to the very edges of the container. Well, now it remains only to steal our topiary with various decorative elements that will give it attractiveness and originality. Take a cinnamon stick and fix it in the pot with glue. We decorate the coffee crown with an anise star. We decorate the pot itself with twine, ribbons and coffee beans.

Here we have such a strikingly beautiful, stylish and fragrant topiary. As you can see, this master class is interesting and easy. Similar trees from coffee beans (you see the photos in the article) can be done by anyone. Good luck and successful creative experiments!
