To make such an unusual crafts you will need:
- coffee beans;
- cup and saucer;
- glue, glue gun;
- leg-split;
- gold paint (spray can);
- cinnamon sticks for decoration.
The first stage is wrapping the saucer and cup with twine. You need to start winding from the middle of the saucer. First, wind several circles directly in your hands, drop a drop of glue in the middle of the saucer and glue the twine.
Next, you need to continue wrapping the saucer with twine, periodically coating it with glue. If glue residues are slightly visible between the turns, it’s not a big deal, since they will be hidden by paint afterwards. Having passed the twine along the edge of the saucer, you need to go to the other side and continue wrapping.
Wrap the cup around the cup in the same way, starting from the outside in the middle. Glue the twine to the cup periodically.
When wrapping a cup, two problematic issues arise: how to wrap the handle and how to wrap the outer surface of the cup where the handle is attached. Very simple! It is necessary to wrap in these places with pieces of twine, measuring the required amount and fixing the edges with glue.
Paint the prepared cup and saucer with golden paint, spraying it evenly from a spray can.
After the paint has dried, you can start decorating the cup with coffee beans. First, determine how the cup will be placed on the saucer (handle up, on the right or left side), and then from the middle, start gluing the coffee beans in several rows with the cut down.
Then glue the coffee beans into the cup, cut side up, trying to fill the gaps in the first row of beans.
Glue the cup with coffee beans to the saucer and continue decorating the craft with coffee beans, moving on to the saucer.
Also glue the coffee beans on the saucer in two rows, the first with the beans cut at the bottom, the second with the cut up. Don't forget to decorate the rim of the cup with grains to achieve the effect of grain flowing out.
This craft will be perfectly decorated with a flower made from twine and coffee beans. Form a loop from a piece of twine, forming the first petal of the flower, then, on the contrary, form the second petal, fixing it in the middle with glue, then the third and fourth.
Glue the resulting flower onto the cup.
Glue a coffee bean into the petals and center of the flower.
Also, make another loop on a long leg from the twine and connect it to the flower, glue coffee in the middle.
Glue two cinnamon sticks to the saucer, tied with twine and decorated with a coffee bean.
Your golden coffee cup is ready to fill your every morning with an invigorating coffee aroma!
