Before you get to work, you need to make sure that you have all the necessary materials. Here's what you need:
- a coffee cup and saucer (preferably from one set);
- thick wire (insulated) with a length of 20–25 centimeters;
- hot gun (glue) ;
- stationery scissors;
- pliers;
- materials (flowers, beads, beads, shells, coffee grains, ribbons and others).
Production begins with work with a wire. The design may not be stable enough if the length is too long. The wire needs to be bent until it looks like the letter S. With a hot gun, glue one end to the saucer and the other to the bottom of the cup, tilting it slightly forward.
Next in line are artificial flowers or any other materials. It is necessary to glue the decoration starting from the cup, and then gradually over the entire surface of the wire. Flowers from a cup will seem like a falling fountain.
After finishing work with the cup, you will need to lay out and glue the flowers on the saucer as well. Add something else interesting to the resulting composition, such as artificial butterflies, hearts.
This technique of manufacturing the product "Soaring Cup" with your own hands can be applied to other types of topiary. It can be small coffee trees, with coins, satin ribbons, bright paper, even colored eggs.

It is believed that silver, gold coins that are present in various souvenirs attract prosperity and prosperity to the house. It would seem that making a coin waterfall is not so easy, but it is not. The manufacturing technique is quite simple.
For this we need the following materials:
- a mug and a saucer to it;
- fork or spoon;
- coins;
- adhesive tape or electrical tape;
- pliers;
- glue gun (as well as a thermal gun for fixing coins).
Use a pair of pliers to bend the fork (spoon). The ends should be bent to the opposite sides of each other. This will be the scenery frame. Next, you need to wrap the bent fork (spoon) with tape (electrical tape). Also, electrical tape (adhesive tape) will attach the upper part of the frame to the bottom of the cup, the lower - to the saucer. Particular attention should be paid to the frame being stable.
