Making a Christmas tree from coffee beans

A miniature coffee tree will fill the house with an amazing aroma. Its size can vary, but a small-sized Christmas tree looks more spectacular. You can do this craft with your children.

- cardboard cone;
- coffee beans;
- brown threads;
- glue;
- thick cardboard;
- semolina;
- clear varnish;
- paint in a spray of gold color.
Only then can we start creating an unusual Christmas tree made of coffee.
Master class: Christmas tree made from grain coffee
A cardboard cone is well coated with glue and wrapped with brown threads. It is desirable that the turns are thick. Now you can glue coffee beans. To avoid gaps, there should be two layers of coffee beans. First, paste over from below, pressing the grains together tightly. The top should be open.
When the layer has dried, paste the next one. The second row should be glued as high quality as possible, covering all the gaps with grains.
When all two layers have dried thoroughly, you can begin to decorate the Christmas tree. To do this, you can use bows and beads. You can apply a wide variety of decorative elements, for example, feathers, rhinestones or sequins. It is best if the decor will be glued with transparent glue. So, Christmas trees made from coffee beans will look neater.
While the decor will dry, you need to create a trunk. To make it, you need to twist the pipe from cardboard so that it snugly fits into the cone. The trunk is painted with a golden hue and set aside to dry. With the help of semolina you can create a snow effect. Necessary places are smeared with nail polish and sprinkled with semolina.
Now go to the top. A little glue is dripping on top of the Christmas tree and a bow is glued. Further, at the bottom of the tree, cuts are made in a circle, which are expanded into petals and smeared with glue. With these cuts, the barrel must be inserted into the prepared base after pouring a little glue into it.
Thus, you can create Christmas trees from any materials, using coffee beans.

DIY coffee hedgehog
The plastic ball must be cut into two parts. A cone is cut out of the foam, which will be the muzzle of a hedgehog. One half of the ball is encircled on cardboard and cut out, and the other part of the ball must be painted brown.
The finished half of the ball is glued to the cardboard. Then the foam muzzle clings. With the help of twine, the muzzle must be wrapped. Further, the hedgehog from coffee beans is turned over and with the help of twine the bottom is glued over, starting from the center.
