In this article, we will share with you the technology of making a craft "tree of happiness" from coffee beans. So, let's start a pleasant creative work.

Wood from coffee beans: we make a crown

To perform this wonderful craft, you will need the following materials:

• Coffee beans (packing - 100 g);
• Newsprint or plastic baby ball (ball);
• Thin twine;
• A twig from the tree or a piece of plastic pipe for the trunk;
• Superglue and PVA glue ;
• A beautiful pot or glass;
• Knife, scissors, thread, brush;
• A variety of decorative elements (butterflies, bows, braids, etc.) for decoration.

The first step in the manufacture of this charming craft is the formation of the crown. To do this, we take the newspaper and crush it, giving the workpiece a roundness.

Tip: It is not necessary to achieve perfectly correct outlines. The fantasy form of the crown will make the craft more natural and attractive.

Now it is necessary to wrap the newspaper blank with food foil in order to keep the given shape. Using a plastic ball, you will simplify your work and make the process of making a "tree made from coffee beans" faster.

After the preparatory work, you can start decorating the tree crown with coffee beans. The brand of coffee does not matter. The main thing is that you like the fragrance and kind of consumables. You can use superglue for gluing the grains. It is applied in a thin layer on the workpiece and immediately grain is spread on it in a chaotic manner.

Tip: make a ball better, beginning with the crown and moving in a circle down. Thus, gradually we glue the upper half of the ball.

Wood from coffee beans: we make a trunk

The second step in our work will be the production of a tree trunk. To do this, take a beautiful dry branch (a piece of a thin plastic pipe) and pierce it with foil from below. For convenience, the ends can be sharpened with a knife. Attach the trunk to the tree. Now remove the branch (tube) from the crown and pour the glue into the holes, and then place it back into the crown blank. The trunk of a tree is almost ready. After processing it, you can continue pasting a newspaper ball with coffee beans. If you use a plastic tube, it must be sealed with string, tape or cloth.

Wood from coffee beans: we make a pot

To decorate the container, you can pick up a plastic pot of a small size or buy a large coffee mug. If you want to use a plastic flower pot, you need to beautifully decorate it. For this purpose canvas rope or twine. Make a container easily - you need a thin line around the circle to apply glue to the walls of the pot and wrap them neatly with a string.

Now you can start "assembling" the elements into a single composition. At the bottom of the pot, put a small piece of foil and put a layer of expanded clay, and on top of it, pour glue. Thus, fill the entire pot with claydite, "saturating" each layer with superglue. At a depth of 2 cm from the top of the pot, insert the trunk of the tree, covered with glue, in the expanded clay. And fill the layer of expanded clay to the edges of the container. Everything - your handmade "tree of coffee beans" is almost ready. Now you can decorate the product with any decorative elements to your taste - bows, beads, rhinestones, ribbons, butterflies or dragonflies. Now, thanks to our master class, you know how to make a tree from coffee beans. We hope you can create an original decoration, showing only a little patience. Success in the creative process!
