Topiary of coffee beans, there are 2 main types. And it seems that nothing new can be invented, but it is not. In this article you will get acquainted with master classes how to make interesting topiarias from coffee beans .

MK №1: how to make a tree from coffee with your own hands

It will take:

• a ball of threads for knitting;
• polystyrene balls;
• aluminum wire in the winding;
• 100 gr of coffee beans;
• pot;
• gypsum;
• twine;
• glue "Moment";
• Painting tape;
• tools: pliers, knife, etc.

We do this:

1. We take the foam plastic balls and wrap them with knitting threads. To the ball is not unwound, the end is fixed with glue.
2. We glue each of them with coffee beans, having a side with a strip to the ball. It is necessary to leave a small empty space so that you can then attach the barrel.
3. Take the wire and cut it into 3 pieces: 1 long, and 2 - short. We form from it the trunk and branches of our future tree. To do this, attach to the long wire short bush with the help of paint tape. The ends of each of them are divided and directed in different directions, so that the crown turns out to be more magnificent. We still need to strengthen the structure in the pot. To this end, the separated ends of the long wire are located on the bottom of the container.
4. From the protruding ends we remove the winding by 2-3 cm.
5. We decorate the trunk. To do this, first glue the wire with mounting tape (from below creating a thickness of the trunk), and then we wind the linen twine from above. To the rope is not untied, the entire length of it must be glued together.
6. On the bare ends of the already finished trunk, we put on coffee beads and paste them with grains.
7. While the glued grains will dry up, we mix the gypsum and fill it with a pot. After it has solidified, decorate its top of coffee.
8. We return again to the balls. Now it is necessary to glue the second layer of grains between the already existing ones on the circle and the other (flat) side outwards.
9. We decorate the trunk of the topiary with several grains, and the tree of coffee with our own hands is ready.

MK # 2: topiary made from coffee beans

It will take:

• coffee beans;
• wire;
• twine and brown satin ribbon;
• glue "Crystal";
• asterisks;
• a mug with a saucer;
• heart shape of foam;
• brown thick threads;
• painting tape;
• brown paint;
• gypsum.

Progress:

1. With the help of a pipe, we give the wire the shape we need.
2. We wind a heart-shaped tape with a paint ribbon, make a loop and wind it with threads. After that, we paint with brown paint and let it dry well.
3. We proceed to pasting the workpiece with coffee beans. First we do on each side, and then on both sides. The first layer is glued with a flat side (where the strip passes) to the figure, and the second layer - placing them out. We complement our coffee heart with an anise flower.
4. We wind the twisted wire with string, periodically fixing the rope with glue, we do it very tightly so that no gaps remain. And then satin ribbon, but so that you can see the layer of linen twine. We hang our heart on the curl.
5. We mix the gypsum with water and fill the resulting mass in a mug and put in it the wound wire. We leave it alone until it freezes.
6. Then on the glue we plant coffee grains and anise flowers on the saucer and on the surface of the gypsum, covering it completely. The topiary is ready.

Such a topiary can be made not only with the heart, but also with an asterisk, a ball or a bell, depending on which holiday you plan to present it to. If desired, you can also decorate the trunk - for example, decorate it with ribbons , beads or sequins.
