No one can say exactly how long coffee has been known to the human race. This drink has firmly entered our life. And creative people have even made coffee a source of self-expression. And such a thing as coffee topiary is completely known to almost any person.

Application of coffee beans

So how can we use coffee beans beyond their intended use? Most often, coffee is used in cosmetology. Scrubs or soap are made from it. Coffee beans can be used as a flavoring agent and as an ant repellent. And they rinse their hair with a strongly brewed drink and paint pictures. Using coffee beans of different shades, you can create mosaic paintings, as well as other masterpieces of art. One of these is the topiary made from coffee beans.

What is topiary

The word topiary itself, translated from the Latin language, means "curly haircut". This art is often used by garden owners to decorate their possessions with curly shrubs.

Nowadays, the same term also means the creation of artificial miniature decorative trees. In this article, we will take a closer look at how to make a coffee topiary with your own hands and at minimal cost.

What you need to create a miniature tree

As in any business, there is a certain universal set of tools and materials for creating a miniature tree. To make a coffee topiary with your own hands, you will need a pot, a base (a ball or other shape), a blank for a barrel, coffee beans, decorative elements. Of the tools, you will probably need scissors, tweezers, a glue gun and a supply of hot melt glue.

We select a pot

Any topiary needs a pot or other container for planting. It is this part that further defines the entire style of the tree. And therefore, you should approach the choice of capacity with all responsibility. First of all, proceed from the interior of the room in which the topiary will be located in the future. You can choose a flower pot to your taste by visiting a houseplant store, or decorate any container suitable for your tree with your own hands.

Also, do not forget what kind of topiary you have. A coffee tree, for example, looks good in a teapot or cup. In general, you can use any container decorated with cloth, foil and even just paper. Remember that the more luxuriant the "crown" of the tree, the more restrained the pot should be.

What to make the trunk of

Any interesting curved branch, a wooden skewer, a stick for eating sushi, and even a wire wrapped in something cute can work for the trunk.

A coffee topiary looks interesting if you wrap a natural fiber rope around its trunk. When choosing a trunk for a future tree, pay attention to the estimated crown size. After all, your tree as a whole should look proportional.

Planting in a pot

At this stage of the work, everything is simple. Since the weight of the grains glued to the crown is not small, it is best to pour the tree trunk in a pot with alabaster or gypsum. To do this, dilute the gypsum in a separate bowl to the consistency of thick sour cream and pour it into the container that you use as a pot. Leave this whole structure on overnight. After the mass has completely hardened, decorate it on top in such a way that this design echoes the future crown of the tree. If you have a coffee topiary, then you can simply add a few coffee beans below or cover the entire space with them.

"Crown"

The "crown" of a tree can have a round shape, traditional for topiary, or look something more unusual. The variety of "crowns" in this article will be illustrated by the following master classes. Topiary, whose coffee beans have a different shade, looks more interesting. The variety of colors in coffee beans is usually caused by the degree of roast. They can be lighter, almost black, white and even green. Topiary from coffee beans can be absolutely any shape, as well as any volume.

For the top, you can use purchased foam forms, or you can make them yourself, for example, using the papier-mâché technique. Or cut out a flat blank of the desired size from cardboard and give it a little volume on the sides. To do this, glue the cardboard with cotton pads. So that in the future, peeping cotton wool does not spoil your topiary, it is better to paint a coffee tree created in this way with brown paint or wrap it with natural rope. And then, with the help of hot glue, attach the coffee beans. Sometimes even two layers have to be done.

Heart with coffee aroma

Love and coffee can be perfectly combined in one product. An example of such a masterpiece is the coffee heart topiary. This is a wonderful gift for all coffee lovers, for example, for Valentine's Day.

To make such a product, it is necessary to cut a heart-shaped blank of the required size from cardboard and arrange it as described above. Find the right pot. Do not be afraid to use all shades of red in such a composition. They go well with brown coffee. Decorate the tree with lace, beads, ribbons or feathers. Add glitter and petite hearts. Thus, a wonderful, fragrant handmade gift is ready.

Coffee sunflower

Topiary-sunflowers are quite original. The coffee aroma of these sunny flowers will delight its owner for a long time. To make the crown of a tree in the form of a sunflower, coffee beans alone will not be enough for you. With the help of coffee, only the centers are made in these colors. But the sunflower also has bright yellow petals. You can use fabric, satin ribbons, or paper to make these petals.

They are very beautifully obtained from a satin ribbon, especially if you use different shades and widths. You can cut the petals out with a stencil and burn them over a candle or with a lighter. Or you can use a thin tape. In this case, cut it into pieces of the required length. Fold each section so that you get a loop, secure the ends of the tape by melting them over the candle. Using hot glue, attach two or three standing petals to a round blank made of cardboard. Each of these layers must be slightly overlapped with respect to the previous one. On the back of the workpiece, attach the same loops of green ribbons. And on the side of the yellow petals - the middle, made of coffee beans.

Center for coffee sunflower

To make the middle for a sunflower topiary using coffee beans, take a Styrofoam ball or half of it and glue it over with coffee beans in two layers. This is to prevent the surface of the ball from showing through the grains. Before you start gluing, sort through the grains and select all those that have the same size and shape. And although at first glance it may seem that the grains are no different from each other, nevertheless, upon closer examination, you will find elements that have certain disadvantages. Attach the pasted balls or hemispheres to a cardboard base with petals. Make a hole on the back to accommodate the wire stem. Decorate the entire composition with miniature insects.

Summing up, it can be noted that the coffee topiary - for all its simplicity of execution - amazes with a variety of possible forms and designs. It can become a wonderful souvenir for all occasions and symbolize any holiday.

In addition, its creation will not require too large financial costs, and the size of coffee beans contributes to the design of even the most unusual forms of the "crown". That, of course, allows you to use your imagination to the fullest and use a seemingly rather unusual decor.

We advise you to make an elegant fragrant coffee topiary out of scrap materials and coffee beans. All the work will take no more than an hour, but as a result you will get an incredibly beautiful craft. In this article, we will tell you how to make a coffee topiary with your own hands, and step-by-step master classes and video tutorials will help you decorate the coffee Tree of Happiness in an original way.

You've probably already heard about the widespread belief that the aura of the Tree of Happiness brings harmony to the house, improves mood and contributes to monetary wealth even in times of crisis.

We advise you to put "fertilizers" in a pot of a gift topiary - small coins of various denominations. Some needlewomen decorate the trunks and sprigs of coffee topiary with hearts and flowers folded from small bills. Topiary is called coffee, because the outer part of the crown of this decorative tree consists of coffee beans. Of course, the tree of happiness can be made from a variety of materials and decorate the crown not only with grains, but also with napkins, organza, sisal, corrugated paper flowers or kanzashi flowers from satin ribbons.

♦ HOW TO MAKE COFFEE TOPIARY. INSTRUCTIONS:

Materials for work : coffee beans, napkins, a pot, a plastic ball (or foam), thick wire, bristle brush fibers, a glue gun and PVA, brown acrylic paint, acrylic varnish.

Stages of work:

We grind paper napkins and glue a ball with them (it is more convenient to perform these actions using the decoupage technique), having previously greased the surface with PVA glue;

When the glue is completely dry, we make a hole in the ball using a hot knitting needle (the hole should correspond to the diameter of the thick wire - the trunk of our coffee topiary);

Now we will glue the prepared ball with coffee beans, forming the crown of the tree. Choose the flattest and smoothest coffee beans and set them aside. now take brown acrylic paint and mix with PVA glue (there is a very a good option- PVA Moment). Proportion: 4 parts PVA to 1 part acrylic paint. Now we generously coat the ball with this glue mixture and place the coffee beans so that they fit snugly against each other. The grains must completely cover the surface of the ball up to the hole made. Thanks to the brown paint, the gaps between the grains will be practically invisible. Put the pasted ball on the open neck of the jar and let it dry well;

Now let's deal with the trunk of the topirium. Take a thick wire and give it a spiral shape. To do this, you can wind the wire around an elongated bottle or stick, adjusting the structure with pliers. You can decorate the trunk of a tree with fabric or ribbons. But if you managed to get some brushing brushes, then we will decorate the wire with fibers. Having dipped the bundles with sponge fibers in PVA Moment glue, carefully wrap them around the wire. When the beam ends. we continue to wrap with the next overlap bundle. Then carefully cut off the excess fibers with scissors. It remains to cover the winding with acrylic varnish;

Now we will dock the trunk of the topiary with the crown. To do this, at the end of the wire, we additionally wind several bunches of a sponge brush, grease abundantly with a glue gun and insert the wrapped wire into the hole of the ball pasted over with coffee beans (all the way);

The other end of the wire will go into the pot. Twist the loop at the end, bend it and lower it to the bottom of the pot, abundantly greased with a glue gun;

We fill the pot with a solution of gypsum or alabaster. But some craftsmen use ordinary cat litter for this purpose. Put a layer of filler with coins into a pot, squeeze hot glue out of the gun, then another layer. In total - 4-5 layers;

It remains to beautifully decorate the coffee topiary at your discretion. You can use jewelry, ribbons, pebbles, accessories to decorate. The main thing is that the composition looks harmonious and all the elements of the tree are designed in the same style.
