Types of coffee beans
The photo of coffee beans shows that their color depends on the degree of roasting, since they are a product of plant origin.
A coffee bean painting requires different shades. The non-heat-treated product has a normal vegetable color.
A light roast level gives a rich beige tone. Medium roast level is darker. Heavily roasted beans have a dark chocolate hue, and if they are cooked a little longer, they turn black. In addition to color differences, they also differ in varieties. The Arabica variety is oval, but has a higher price, while Robusta is round and cheap, so craftsmen use it more often.
Craft coffee tree
This is one of the most common topiaries and is believed to bring good luck. Coffee master class step by step. Materials:
- Styrofoam;
- coffee;
- brown paint;
- glue;
- mug, cup or pot;
- wire for the barrel;
- twine or twine;
- textiles, lace;
- gypsum (can be replaced with alabaster);
- brush;
- scissors;
- cotton pads;
- manufacturing stages.
First, we form the crown of the future tree - to do this, cover the foam ball with newspapers and let it dry. Then paint it with gouache and dry it. Let's take care of the trunk - coat the wire with glue and wrap it with twine so that there are no gaps left.
Now, using glue, we fix the grains with the convex side down. We connect the parts - crown and trunk. Fill the pot or mug with plaster and insert our design. It is important that it freezes evenly, so place a support. Place the grains in the pot in two layers. You can use polystyrene foam instead of plaster.
We process the edges at our discretion - you can decorate them with ribbons, beads, organza, spices like star anise and cinnamon sticks, you can wrap the whole thing in burlap and tie it with twine under the base of the trunk.
Materials
1) tea or coffee pair (cup and saucer)
2) glue for connecting the “flowing” structure with the bowl and saucer. It is better to use the universal Moment gel adhesive for ceramics, plastic or glass. An alternative can be any other adhesive designed to work with smooth surfaces. A glue gun is also used, but it is intended mainly for working with rough surfaces. There is a possibility that the cup will come off in the near future after gluing.
3) thick wire or triple wires. You can use other flexible items, such as old aluminum forks or spoons, or a metal hanger.
4) polymorphus ( superplastic ) – self-hardening thermoplastic. When heated, it becomes plastic and convenient for giving it the desired shape. When cooled, it becomes hard, elastic and durable.
5) masking tape - it can replace superplastic
6) modeling mass , can also replace polymorphus. It resembles plasticine, but unlike it, it hardens well in air. Contains natural ingredients (dough made from cereal flour), so it is absolutely safe for children.
7) decoration items : coins, flowers, pine cones, feathers, candies, beads, buttons, ribbons and much, much more.

Take the frame as the basis for your future painting. Draw an owl in the center, as your imagination tells you.
Remember that the owl has large round eyes, this can be played up in interesting ways. The location of the eyes must be marked in advance.
Start gluing the grains from the center, placing them one side up. This way the pattern will look neat. Make ears and paws. Using a knife, cut out the eyes and fix them on the marked places.
You can make eyes from large dark buttons. Cut out the owl's nose and glue it below the eye line. The beautiful bird will be ready after complete drying.
Brush for removing glue residues
Select the type of magnet you need and cut out a template from paper. Using a template on cardboard, cut out the part. Use a glue gun to glue a magnet to the cardboard. Cover both sides of the cardboard with fabric. On the back side, where the magnet is attached, you can make a fabric coupling. This part will be the back of the craft.
Glue the first layer of grains, with the hollow inward. After the glue has dried, you need to clean the grains of the craft from the glue. Glue the second layer the other way around, with the depression facing outwards. You can also decorate the craft with other elements. These can be bows, jute, beads, etc.
Coffee clock
Crafts with coffee beans are not limited to drawings and figures. A clock decorated with coffee beans will be a pleasant addition to the comfort of your kitchen, living room or dining room. They can be implemented in any of many options: completely paste over the watch blank and place the dial on top, mark only the numbers and hands, lay out only the frame.
To create a coffee clock you will need the following
- grains;
- thick cardboard;
- clockwork;
- glue;
- jute or twine;
- water-based paint, enamel, replaced with acrylic or putty.
Operating procedure
Cut a circle out of cardboard and cover the edges with a strip of paper. Draw a circle in the center the size of the dial. Paint the outer circle on which the grains will be glued with brown paint and dry with a hairdryer. Paint the numbers with gold paint and arrange them in order on the inner circle. Glue the grains over the entire surface of the outer circle. Place and stick in the center of the arrow. Tie twine around the edge of the product, securing it. If desired, you can decorate the watch with star anise.

The step-by-step process of making panels
The simplest product is frames for decorating your favorite photo or interesting painting. Choose a suitable cardboard frame, apply glue with a brush and glue the grains to the surface at your discretion.
To make panels, we make markings on the base. Moreover, the burlap can be decorated in different ways: using a piece of cardboard, fold it over to the back side and glue it, or you can “ruffle” the edges and give the panel a piece of “boho” style.
Then, using a simple pencil or a bar of soap, apply the design of your choice. Now you can get creative directly.
New Year's crafts from coffee beans
For the winter holidays, you can surprise your family and friends with an unusual decoration - a coffee tree. You can easily create this decorative element with your own hands if you approach the work carefully.
Materials
- Foam cone;
- The container in which you will place the Christmas tree;
- Gypsum, water, silicone;
- Twine or twine;
- Coffee beans;
- Dried orange slices;
- Wire of various diameters;
- Sackcloth;
- New Year's decor.
Stages of work
Select a cone based on the height of the future tree. Thread a thick wire into the center of the base. From the base of the cone, begin to wind the rope tightly, gluing it every two or three turns. Secure the end to the top. Also wrap the tree trunk with twine.
Now it's time to move on to the grains; arrange them according to size, and attach the largest ones with the flat side down at the base of the cone. Continue pasting the workpiece, gradually reducing their size closer to the top. Cover the free spaces with smaller grains, gluing them upside down for contrast.
Add gypsum to the container and place the tree trunk in it. Use support to keep it perfectly vertical. Wait until it hardens completely and wrap the pots with burlap. To do this, cut a square along the height of the flowerpot with a margin of about 5 centimeters for bends.
Place the container in the center of the square and fold the two opposite sides and the remaining two. Lock them down. All that's left to do is add the finishing touches with dried citrus slices, star anise and glitter.
Please note that you can make other interesting New Year's souvenirs - gilded and silver-plated stars, toys, hearts, animals decorated with beads, rhinestones, and lace.
Here, the implementation of ideas depends on your imagination. Making such decorations is a fascinating process in which you can involve children so that they can take part in preparing the holiday.
