Crafts from coffee beans for beginners

Mastering the technique of making masterpieces from coffee beans is not such a difficult science, and anyone who has at least a little imagination can do it. Better to start with the simplest crafts, including:

• Decorative cans, vases, glasses.
• Framework for a photo.
• Decorative candle holders and candles.
• Postcards.
• Decorative paintings.

Choose material for work

If you decide to create a small masterpiece that can decorate your monastery, then the first thing you need to buy the right coffee beans. To create a decor, packaged coffee packs in opaque packages will not work, in which you will not be able to consider the purchase. It is better to buy material in stores where coffee is sold by weight.

Important! Also, do not purchase arabica grains, since grains of different sizes are required for greater texture. It is better to give preference to a cheaper variety.

Coffee picture

For beginner needlewomen, a wonderful pastime will be the creation of a picture of coffee beans with their own hands. It will not only become a beautiful piece of furniture, but will also be a pleasant gift for loved ones. The plot of the “coffee” picture can be chosen by anyone - from a traditional steaming cup to a grandiose artistic canvas.

To make such a picture you will need:

1. Thick cardboard.
2. Glue.
3. A cut of fabric (preferably smooth and light, however, if a rough burlap fits into the concept of your masterpiece, you can also apply it).
4. Twine.
5. Coffee beans.
6. Picture frame.
7. Stencils.
8. Decorative beads, ribbons or dry leaves.
9. Colorless varnish.

Sequencing:

• Tighten a thick sheet of cardboard with a cloth, securing it with glue on the opposite side.
• Think over the plot of the picture and use the stencils to hover over the image.

Important! If there are no stencils at your disposal, then replace them with a simple device: print the picture on a thin sheet of paper and circle it with cosmetic blush or shadows and reshape the picture on canvas.

• After that, carefully glue the coffee beans.
• Decorate the outline of the pattern with twine, fixing it to the picture with glue.
• At the end, cover the grains with colorless varnish, and after drying completely, insert the picture in a frame.

Important! In order for the frame and the picture to be in the same style, it is better to choose a frame of dark brown color.

Craft from coffee and twine

In addition to making a picture of coffee beans with your own hands, you can also create an unusual cup, vase or flower pot. The easiest option will be a decorative aroma candle, which can be used not only for aesthetic purposes, but as a gift for loved ones.

Sequencing:

• To begin, tightly wrap the candle with twine. This can be done around the entire circumference of the candle or to its middle.
• After that, using a glue gun, fix the ends of the twine to the candle so that they fit snugly against its surface, without forming voids and do not protrude.

Important! You can do even without glue by melting small areas of the candle and pressing the twine into its surface.

• Tape the candle wrapped in twine to the middle of the coffee beans, doing it in rows so that the twine layer is not visible under the beans.
• At the final stage, coat the grains with a colorless varnish.
