1. Let's make the base for the panel. To do this, cut out a blank from thick cardboard to the size of the frame. Choose a piece of burlap slightly larger than the frame.
2. Warm up the glue gun. Apply glue along the edge of the cardboard blank and glue the burlap to it.
3. Apply glue to the inside surface of the frame. Insert the cardboard blank into the frame and press firmly.
4. Use scissors to trim the excess burlap around the edges.
5. At the top of the plastic bottle, draw the outline of a cup of the desired size. Carefully cut out the workpiece.
6. Open the plastic blank with white acrylic paint. Leave in a warm place until completely dry.
7. Open a small piece of thick cardboard (approximately 15x7 cm) with brown gouache.
8. From cardboard, cut out the base for the cup to the size of the plastic blank and the blank for the saucer.
9. Cover the cup blank with a layer of brown paint, completely painting over the white acrylic.
10. Apply glue to the side surfaces of the plastic blank and glue it to the backing. Glue the saucer blank to the bottom.
11. We begin to cover the cup with coffee beans. Apply a layer of glue to a small area of the workpiece. Lay out the grains in even rows, trying to minimize the gaps between them.
12. Lastly, cover the saucer with grains. The lower part of the saucer on the panel will be almost invisible, so it can be covered with fragments of coffee beans.
13. Place the cup on the panel, choose the optimal location and glue it to the burlap.
14. To decorate the cup, you can use dried citrus fruits, cinnamon, star anise, and burlap bows.
15. Place the dried orange inside the cup. Glue on some cinnamon sticks. A slice of lemon can be placed on a saucer.
16. Fill the empty space in the upper part of the panel with patterns of coffee beans, glue star anise.
17. Lay out the handle of the cup from coffee beans and carefully glue it.
