For this we will need: coffee beans, silicone or other glue, brown corrugated paper, thick wire, toilet paper, thread, brown tape (30 centimeters), plaster, PVA glue, cup or decorative pot, sisal and decor (well, it's up to your taste).
The first step is to cut out the heart from thick cardboard, such as a box. Next, we wrap the heart with toilet paper and thread to fix the shape and make the heart thicker.
Something similar should happen for you too.
Next, we wrap the heart with brown corrugated paper and also secure it with thread, always black or brown.
For the trunk, we need thick wire. You can also use a stick or even some kind of tube, the main thing is that it can withstand the weight of the heart.
We fix the trunk to the heart using silicone or other glue. We wrap the barrel with brown tape. Be sure to secure at the top and bottom to prevent the tape from unraveling.
Next, we begin to glue the coffee beans a little at a time. Try to keep the gaps small. Apply glue not to the heart, but rather to the grain, so your product will look neater.
After the entire heart has been covered. Place a little foam in a cup or decorative pot and fill it with plaster. To prepare the mixture, you need to add water and PVA glue to the plaster in a 1:1 ratio. Be aware that if you don't add foam, the ceramic may burst as the plaster heats up and expands. After drying, cover the plaster with sisal. If you don't have it, you can use regular twine.
Next, let's start decorating. You can take artificial flowers, cinnamon, and other spices. This is as far as your imagination goes. Such present Your friends and relatives will definitely like it.
