What do we know about coffee beans

Basically, we see them already packed in tight bags on store shelves.There they come from Brazil (one in three), Colombia, Ethiopia, Vietnam and other hot countries. In Russia, the climate is inappropriate, but there have been attempts to plant a plantation. Unsuccessful yet.

The two main varieties, arabica and canephora (robusta), are visually not much different from each other. These are dried seeds of berries from 5 to 10 mm in length, with a sloping back and a flattened base. Arabica, slightly larger, with a shape tending to an oval. Robusta is rounder, smaller, but its cost is two times lower.

Coffee picture

The most difficult part in making wall paintings is to present them in detail. Understand which plot to illustrate, what color, whether it will be a fleece or a fully filled canvas. When the questions have been answered, proceed to the technical side.

For the base model, in addition to the main material, you will need:

  • the cloth. The texture is practically irrelevant if there is superglue. The burlap looks authentic, especially with print marks. Choose a color more carefully without neon shades.
  • cardboard;
  • frame;
  • colorless varnish;
  • additional elements (fur, ribbons, beads, glass, etc.) for decoration.

Coffee Beans Pattern

The work begins with the preparation of the base: wrap the cardboard with a cloth, seal it on the back. Draw a sketch. A great help for beginners is stencils, take them from the Web. And now just glue the grains into the borders of the picture, watching the density. Cover with varnish, decorate as planned, insert into the frame. You can’t imagine simpler and more beautiful, right?

Photo frames

It is impossible to calculate the number of ideas in the design of photographs that are dear to the heart, but the classic version does not lose ground: a rectangular frame with a side width of 4-5 cm for a photo measuring 10x15 cm at the peak of popularity due to its elegant appearance.Nevertheless, a strong material is used in the base - plywood - which will forever keep the shape of the product. To cut a wooden sheet 20x25 cm in size with an internal window of 9x14 cm, you will need a jigsaw, and probably an assistant with physical strength. Anybody can handle a light corrugated cardboard. It is the same size, only the opening inside corresponds to the size of the photo. Glue everything, paint it in dark, apply glue on top, attach grains on a hunch, varnish, cut out a cardboard holder, fasten it back to paper clips. The photo frame is ready, but remove it from the bedside table. Caffeine in a fragrant form under the nose will not let you fall asleep.

Candle decoration

An indispensable thing for decorating candles is twine. This is a thin string of fibers of a subtropical jute plant. Previously, it was used for auxiliary purposes, package roll, for example. But designers erected a jute twine into a cult, often using it for ethnic and eco-interiors. Twine will help to festively decorate tall candles. They can be ignited, using as intended, if you decorate only the lower part of the paraffin. Apply hot melt in a moderately thick, even layer, tightly wrap with jute, not reaching 2 mm to the base. This measure is designed to ensure that the product remains stable. Carefully glue the end of the twine with glue. Now you can glue the main links of the decor, and against such a background, both delicate patterns with color gradations from beige to chocolate and arbitrary order of elements will look equally stylish. Complete the craft with a satin ribbon.

Fragrant Candlestick

On New Year's holidays, a warming ray of hope for a good future means a little more than on other days. Symbolism and dancing glare on the ceiling raise candles to the rank of a Christmas miracle. It is especially pleasant to realize that these miracles can be done with your own hands. The quickest way to make friends a candle and coffee is to simply put them together.Pour the grains into a small beautiful porcelain bowl and place the candle in the sleeve in the center so that it is slightly buried. The effect of natural aromatization is obtained, warm jets of air from the flame will spread a pleasant aroma throughout the room. Depending on the design of a room or a festive table, instead of a bowl, you can use any capacity, except for easily melting. Transparent glass with figured inserts looks spectacular.

Coffee tree and fragrant christmas tree

A kind of "coffee bonsai." Handmade interior mini-topiary. What a catchy name you can’t come up with, it still won’t convey all the unusualness of these homemade little things.

It’s a little easier to make the Christmas tree because of its shape. Build a cone from whatman paper, paint it in cinnamon color, paste over with even rows of grains, including the bottom, dress up with bead balls, bead garlands. For a special mood, powder snow from semolina. New Year's souvenir is ready.

A coffee tree

The elegance of the tree gives a fantastically curved long trunk. Its role is played by thick wire wrapped in twine. One end goes into a cup with gypsum (choose high for stability), and the other into the focus of the composition is a light ball. It can be a plastic ball, candy box, polystyrene, etc., include fantasy. Before creating a shell on a ball, paint it in chocolate color.

Cup of spilled coffee

Direct association with items for the ceremony of drinking a favorite drink has spawned a whole trend in decor. Overturned cup in a saucer. This happens in life, only less artistically and then you have to wash the tablecloth. A more interesting option is when the cup hangs in the air and the stream pours from above. The main emphasis is on the effect of surprise, because the picture contradicts the law of gravity, causing great interest.Of course, after a couple of seconds, the secret of focus becomes apparent, and curiosity gives way to admiration for the work of the master. We need a hard wire, curved with the letter Z, very strong glue, modeling mass and incredible perseverance, with which you first need to methodically jute all parts of the tea pair inside and out, and only apply natural material to this layer. Store two dried orange slices to decorate the mini-monument.

Animals

To make a stylized figure of a recognizable animal, first of all, you need to find the basis for the silhouette. It may be an old toy. Specially tailored. Foam model. Blinded from hardening plasticine. This creates gorgeous figures of snakes, elephants, snails or turtles.

Coffee Bean Animals

At the master class, craftsmen say that they most often use prefabricated structures from improvised materials. For example, for twin hedgehogs, ping-pong balls fit perfectly. Cut them in half, and here are the backs for coffee needles. From foam, oblong triangles are obtained - spouts. From the cardboard - the abdomen.We decorate the last two with twine, and then put it together: a circle, half of a tennis ball on it, and a nose to it on the side. We begin to plant improvised needles from the middle of the back. After filling in everything, we attach a small bead to the tip of the nose, the eyes are also from the beads, several dried leaves on top.

Kitchen decor

A coffee hobby is ready to lurk in any kitchen corner. A box with a butterfly for storage, a tree of happiness in a mug with food-print, a napkin holder with a sly winking kitten. In general, the cat theme is very common in the design of hand-made, but where is the pet still located, if not in the kitchen. And so as not to interfere, we will give him a place in the refrigerator.

The cat magnet should be light so as not to fall. Ceiling tile will do. Draw a sketch without forgetting the long curled tail. Cut, paint over dark, glue elements on one side, magnets on the other. Better to use 2 pcs. In order to process the end, stick 2 strips of jute on a thin strip of hot melt adhesive. It remains only to outline the mustache, nose and eyes. A blister for drugs is suitable for them. Put a grain in the recesses, back with paper, cut along the contour. A very soulful look is obtained from a cat.

Clock decor

This watch always shows the coffee break time! Rebranding the old model in favor of a new home interior accessory should start with a disassembly. All the parts will come in handy, but watch out for how much headroom the shooters have in order to ensure that they do not cling to convex parts during fresh assembly. On a flat dial, games with multi-colored grains look incredibly impressive. Firstly, lace styling from waves or geometric shapes, stripes, tracks.

You can also give meaning to the design, for example, dividing the sectors by the clock or half an hour. If the substrate has an interesting pattern, it makes sense to close it incompletely. So even more interesting.Or create a round frame around, decorated with additional sequins, chopsticks, knots, planks and beans. If for some reason the backing needs to be replaced, use cardboard covered with cloth or burlap.

Vases, cans, bottles and flower pots

All of the above is most suitable for decoration with natural materials. The set for a universal creative idea, as always, includes twine, hotmelt, coffee. Follow the inspiration, remembering that the details are given even more expressiveness to simple forms. For example, use a spice mix. One of them is star anise. A blossoming flower, as if specially created to complement a handmade vase. This is a bright accent for a uniformly sealed can. Add spherical pepper, small round mustard seeds, spicy cloves look like small spikes. A longtime coffee friend is cinnamon. Cinnamon sticks are aesthetically pleasing to everything. And the bay leaf will replace the herbarium when you need to decorate the bottle. Do not throw away orange peels, they make cute stars.

What about mixing aromas from all this splendor, you ask? “Close” the smell with clear varnish.

Coffee Bean Vessel Decor

Handmade coffee beans are an elegant accessory for an apartment where coziness and warmth are appreciated. They are unpretentious, they do not need special care. Dust is gently erased with a slightly damp cotton pad. But protect them from the sun so that the original color of the product does not change. In order to enjoy the pure aroma of energy, do not varnish the thing, or use acrylic. Feel free to tint some parts for a better design. With experience, speed will come in gluing, and several ways to wash the glue from the fingers (while the nail file steers). Create, and give your creativity to others!
