Aroma that can lift out of bed in the morning when you don't want to go to work. Does not allow to fall asleep, because in the evening there is still a lot to do. In business negotiations helps to establish contacts. Addition to the beautiful dessert in a coffee shop next to the house. As you can see, associations with the word coffee are far from the word decoration. But ... Creative vein, skillful hands and small tips from this article will turn the decor of coffee beans into another reason to be proud of the interior of your home.

What do we know about coffee beans

Basically, we see them already packed in tight bags on store shelves. They come from Brazil (every third), Colombia, Ethiopia, Vietnam and other hot countries. In Russia, the climate is unsuitable, but there were attempts to grow a plantation. Unsuccessful yet.

The two main varieties, arabica and canephora (robusta), visually differ little from each other. These are dried stones of berries from 5 to 10 mm in length, with a sloping back and an oblate base. Arabica, slightly larger, with a shape tending to an oval. Robusta is rounder, smaller, but its cost is two times lower.

The degree of roasting is important for decoration:

Coffee picture

The most difficult in the manufacture of paintings for the walls - to present them in detail. Understand which plot to illustrate, what color, whether it will be a fleece or a fully filled canvas. When questions get answers, go to the technical side.

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

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

Work begins with the preparation of the base: wrap the cardboard with a cloth, glue it to the back. Draw a sketch. A great help for newbies - stencils, take them from the web. And now just paste the grain into the borders of the picture, watching the density. Varnish, decorate according to the idea, insert into the frame. Easier and more beautiful you can imagine, right?

Photo Frames

It is impossible to count the number of ideas in the design of photos 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 10x15 cm photo at the peak of popularity due to external elegant simplicity. Nevertheless, the base uses strong material - plywood - which will forever retain the shape of the product. To cut a wooden sheet measuring 20x25 cm with an internal window of 9x14 cm you will need a jigsaw, and probably an assistant with physical strength. Anybody can cope with a light corrugated cardboard. It is the same size, only the opening inside corresponds to the size of the photo. Glue everything, paint it dark, apply glue on top, attach grain, gloss over, cut out a cardboard holder, reinforce it from behind on paper clips. The photo frame is ready, but remove it from the bedside table. Caffeine in a fragrant form under the nose will not allow to fall asleep.

Candle decorating

An indispensable thing for the decoration of candles - twine. This is a thin string of fibers from a subtropical jute plant. Previously, it was used for auxiliary purposes, packaged bundles, for example. But designers erected jute twine into a cult, often using it for ethnic and eco-interiors. Twine will help festively decorate high candles. They can be ignited using their intended purpose, if you decorate only the bottom of the paraffin. Apply hot melt glue in a moderately thick, even layer, tightly wrap with jute, not reaching 2 mm to the base. This measure is intended to ensure that the product remains stable. Securely glue the end of the twine. Now it is possible to glue the main links of the decor, and against such a background, the openwork patterns with color gradation from beige to chocolate and the 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 highlights on the ceiling erect candles to the rank of a Christmas miracle. It is especially nice to know that these miracles can be done with your own hands. The fastest way to make friends candle and coffee - just put them together. In a small, beautiful porcelain bowl, pour the grains and place a candle in the center of the sleeve, so that it sinks a little. The effect of natural aromatization is obtained, warm air streams from the flame will spread a pleasant aroma throughout the room. Depending on the design of the room or the festive table, instead of a bowl, you can use any container, except easily melted. Effectively looks clear glass with curly inserts.

The interior with coffee candles is a natural aphrodisiac for a romantic atmosphere.

Coffee tree and fragrant Christmas trees

Peculiar "coffee bonsai". Interior mini-topiary from hand made. What a catchy name do not think up, it still does not convey the whole unusualness of these homemade things.

Christmas tree to make a little easier because of the form. Build a cone out of paperman, dye it in a cinnamon color, glue it in even rows of grains, including the bottom, dress with balls, beads, beaded garlands. For a special mood, powder with semolina snow. Souvenir for the New Year is ready.

The grace of the tree gives a fancifully arched long trunk. His role is played by thick wire wrapped with string. One end goes into a cup with plaster (choose high for stability), and the other in the center of attention of the composition is a light ball. This may be a plastic ball, candy box, foam, etc., turn on the fantasy. Before you create a shell on the ball, paint it in chocolate color.

Cup of spilled coffee

Direct association with objects for the ceremony of drinking a favorite drink has generated a whole direction in the 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 flows from a height. The main focus is on the effect of surprise, because the picture is contrary to the law of gravity, causing great interest. Of course, after a couple of seconds, the secret of the focus becomes obvious, and curiosity gives way to admiration for the master's work. You need hard wire, curved with the letter Z, a very strong glue, a mass for modeling and incredible assiduity, with which you first need to methodically wrap all parts of the tea pair inside and outside with jute, and apply natural material only on this layer. Bring two dried orange slices to decorate a mini-monument.

Christmas decorations

Leadership on the variety of options in this category captured:

• balloons on bright satin ribbons, with and without tassels, ornaments made of rhinestones, sequins, key chains, keys;
• five-pointed stars of all kinds, sizes, colors, with the addition of gilding and silvering;

New Year's crafts are easy to make, but they are good not only by the external impression, but also by the opportunity to create something beautiful with the whole family, it is interesting to spend time with the children to remember their “designer” toy for a whole year!

Animals

To make a stylized figurine of a recognizable animal, first of all, it is necessary to find the basis for the silhouette. It may be an old toy. Specially stitched. Foam model. Blinded of stiffening clay. This is how elegant snake figures, elephants, snails or turtles turn out.

At the master class, craftsmen tell us that most often they use prefabricated structures made of scrap materials. For example, for twin hedgehogs, ping-pong balls are perfectly adapted. Cut them in half, here and back for coffee needles. From the foam are obtained oblong triangles - nozzles. From cardboard - abdomen. We decorate the last two with a twine, and then assemble it together: a circle, half of a tennis ball on it, and a nose to it from the side. We begin to plant improvised needles from the middle of the back. Having filled in everything, we attach a small bead to the tip of the nose, eyes too, from beads, a few dried leaves from above.

Kitchen decor

Coffee craft is ready to hide in any kitchen corner. A box with a butterfly for storage, a tree of happiness in a mug with a food-print, a napkin holder with a slyly winking kitten. In general, the cat theme is very common in the design of a hand made, and where is your pet still, if not in the kitchen? And so as not to interfere, we will give him a place on the refrigerator.

The cat magnet should be light so as not to fall. Suitable ceiling tiles. Draw a sketch, not forgetting the long curled tail. Cut, paint over dark, glue elements on one side, on the other magnets. It is better to use 2 pcs. In order to process the butt, glue 2 strips of jute onto a thin strip of hot melt. It remains only to identify the mustache, nose and eyes. For them, suitable blister medication. Put the grain in the grooves, glue the back of the paper, cut along the contour. A very insightful look is obtained at the cat.

Clock decor

This watch always shows the time of the coffee break! The rebranding of the old model in favor of the new accessory of the interior of the house should begin with disassembly. All parts will come in handy, but keep track of how much stock there is at the run-up of the shooters, so that during the fresh assembly they will not cling to the convex parts. On a flat dial incredibly impressive games look with the color of the grains. First, the lace styling of the waves or geometric shapes, stripes, tracks.

You can also give meaning to the design, for example, dividing the sectors by the hour or half an hour. If the substrate has an interesting pattern, it makes sense to close it not completely. So even more interesting. Or create a round frame decorated with additional spangles, chopsticks, knots, plates and beans. If for some reason the backing needs to be replaced, use cardboard covered with cloth or burlap.

Vases, jars, 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 a twine, hot melt glue, coffee. Follow the inspiration, remembering that details give even more expressiveness to simple forms. For example, use spice mix. One of them - badyan. A blooming flower, as if specially created to complement a handmade vase. This is a bright accent for a uniformly sealed can. Add the spherical pepper, small round mustard seeds, the spiced cloves look like small spikes. Old friend of coffee - cinnamon. Cinnamon sticks are aesthetically pleasing to everything. A bay leaf will replace the herbarium when it is necessary to decorate the bottle. Do not throw away the orange peels, they make pretty stars.

How to be with a mixture of flavors from all this magnificence, you ask? "Close" the smell of clear varnish.

Handmade crafts from coffee beans - an elegant accessory for an apartment, where comfort and warmth are valued. They are unpretentious, they do not need special care. The dust is gently rubbed off with a slightly damp cotton wool disk. But take care of them from the sun, so as not to change the original color of the product. In order to enjoy the pure aroma of energy, do not varnish the item, or use acrylic. Feel free to tint some parts for better design. With experience will come the speed of gluing, and several ways to launder the glue from the fingers (while the nail file steers). Create and give your creativity to others!
