Coffee crafts - main types, manufacturing options and features of application in interior design (165 photos)

Basic rules for working with coffee beans

The simplest craft option using coffee beans is a decorative panel. Considering that the aroma of coffee is associated primarily with morning awakening and vigor, the theme of the panel should be appropriate.

Considering that coffee beans are a natural material, the rest of the crafts made should also be of natural origin. You can use linen, wooden elements, twine, nuts or pebbles.

The basis for coffee crafts will be cardboard, thick fabric, wood or ceramics.

It is convenient to glue the grains to the base using ordinary PVA glue; after drying, it does not leave untidy marks.

In order for the craft to delight you with a pleasant aroma, you will need fresh coffee beans.

Original ideas

Modern handmade craftswomen never cease to amaze with their fantastic crafts. Each of them is individual and carries a part of the soul of its creator. Let's look at the most interesting and unusual crafts made from coffee.

To make a mill you will need:

• a round tall jar, for example, from children's tea;
• twine and glue;
• two sheets of thick cardboard;
• barbecue sticks, matches or toothpicks;
• a piece of gray linen fabric.

The process is step by step.

1. Cover the jar tightly with twine.
2. For the roof, cut a circle out of cardboard, make a cut and secure with a cone. Pre-paint white cardboard brown. Decorate the roof with grains, leaving free space for attaching the mill blades.
3. Cut them out of thick cardboard. Attach barbecue sticks to the sides of each blade so that they extend beyond the edge of the cardboard. Wrap the workpiece with thin twine, covering the cardboard base. Stick several grains in the center of the blades.
4. Glue the finished blades to the roof of the mill and now fill the remaining gaps with coffee.
5. Make the door from matches or toothpicks glued together.
6. For the base of the mill, cut out a circle from cardboard and decorate it with linen fabric. To imitate a fence, place coffee beans around the edges.
7. Connect both parts of the craft. Add additional decor if desired. For example, bags of flour, a horseshoe and a broom.

Flower as a gift

An original and unusual product made from twine and coffee beans will be a pleasant gift for any occasion.

You will need:

• a piece of rigid wire that will hold its shape well;
• leg-split;
• alabaster and flower pot;
• coffee beans;
• glue gun

Performance.

1. Cut the wire into pieces according to the number of expected petals. Fold each one in half and twist, leaving a loop at the top.
2. Using twine using the ganutel technique, braid a loop and wrap the wire just below the petal. Do this for all the petals and a couple of leaves for the flower.
3. Assemble the flower itself, tightly twisting the wires together to form a stem. Wrap it tightly with twine.
4. Dilute alabaster and pour it into a flower pot. Insert the stem and hold until the solution sets.
5. Now you can decorate the petals and leaves with fragrant grains.
6. Additionally, decorate the pot with hemp rope or twine.

Coffee crafts are a popular handmade trend. They are beautiful, made from natural materials and do not require large expenses. A handcrafted item will fit perfectly into the interior and fill the room with a pleasant aroma.

What is coffee roasted on?

Roasting coffee is essentially “cooking” and the goal here is obvious - to prepare the product as tasty as possible, to reveal the maximum potential of the raw material.
They “cook” not in the kitchen, but on professional technical equipment - roasters; the roast master acts as a chef, and it is he who decides what and how to roast. A coffee roaster is, simply put, an oven that transfers heat to the beans through convection, conduction and radiation. There are two main types of roasters: some roast coffee in a pseudo-fluidized bed, mainly due to convection, while others mainly transfer heat using thermal conductivity (conduction) of drums. Each of them works differently, but is good in its own way, and you can roast coffee perfectly on any of them; here the “cook” is more important than the equipment.

Candle with coffee beans

A small decorative candle can be placed in a large transparent glass, but a large candle will require a large container.

Interesting facts about coffee... • Coffee is the most popular drink in the world. Among all products, coffee ranks second in popularity (after vegetable oil). • Approximately 10% of people are not at all susceptible to the effects of coffee. Vigor, tone and increased blood pressure from a cup of hot drink are not about them. • The longer coffee is roasted, the less caffeine remains in it. • Coffee tastes well with almost any food. • The aroma of coffee is in the top ten most recognizable smells. The smell of coffee saves you from stress. It is generally accepted that the smell of coffee is wonderfully invigorating. However, scientists from three countries have found that the smell of coffee beans has another property. Experts from South Korea, Germany and Japan have proven that the smell of coffee reduces the symptoms and effects of stress. Such conclusions were made during experiments on laboratory animals. Tests show that the aroma of coffee leads to changes in the functioning of 17 genes and the production of proteins in the brain, writes Web MD. Thus, the smell of coffee beans stimulates the production of substances with antioxidant properties. These substances protect nerve cells from damage and help you recover faster from stress. Coffee beans are by far the most popular material for creating various DIY crafts. Coffee beans have a pleasant smell, do not spoil, have a rich color and interesting texture. Coffee beans bring happiness to the home; they have a unique coffee aroma that creates an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. This is the kind of panel we will make from coffee beans. Let's stock up on a good mood and move forward! For work we will need:
- plastic bottle (1 liter) - coffee beans - ground coffee - masking tape - finished frame - thick burlap - PVA glue (preferably thick construction glue) - Titan glue - hot glue - decorative flowers and decorations - cinnamon - dried lemon, orange, zest roses - twine - packaging cardboard - brown gouache - brush, ruler, scissors
Step-by-step production 1. Cut off the top part from a plastic bottle, the length from the neck is 13 cm (two parts are obtained from one bottle) cut lengthwise in half, then cut off the neck

2.Cut out the back wall and bottom for the mug from packaging cardboard. For the saucer, it is better to cut out two parts and glue them together, since my cardboard is thin 3. Glue the parts to the mug using Titan glue 4. Glue the workpiece with masking tape, we need this for the strength of the mug, for better gluing of coffee beans and for hot glue did not melt the workpiece 5. Paint the mug and saucer with brown ink. And you can do it differently. First, spread the workpiece with PVA glue, and then sprinkle with ground coffee (I didn’t really like the second option, this option is suitable for those who glue coffee beans only with hot glue; I mainly use “Titanium”, and use hot glue in those cases , when you need the coffee to stick immediately; and I painted the top of the workpiece again with gouache) 6. Making a mug You need to choose coffee beans of the same size. Glue the coffee around the edges of the mug using hot glue. Please note that we glue the grains exactly along the workpiece so that they do not protrude beyond the borders of the mug, otherwise they will not stick to the base of the panel 7. Then we glue the coffee beans with Titan glue (I drop a little glue onto the workpiece and smear a small area with a wooden skewer) You can glue everything beans on one side And I prefer to alternate the beans on different sides 8. Making a saucer Glue the coffee beans first along the edge, and then along the entire workpiece.

Please note that the saucer on top is made of one layer of cardboard, it was impossible to bend it into the desired shape. But the lower saucer was already glued together from two parts and it was easy to give it the desired shape. 9. Trying on cups with different saucers

10. Glue the frames with burlap 11. Glue the mug and saucer with hot glue and make a handle from the grains

12. Decorate the panel We tie the cinnamon with twine and glue it to hot glue, on the other side a dried lemon slice. One of the options for decorating the panel is dried orange, lemon and zest roses. 13. This is how I make roses from orange zest and dry them. I buy cinnamon like this

15. We decorate the “coffee aroma” coming from the mug. Draw, apply PVA glue and sprinkle with ground coffee. Shake off the remains. 16. We decorate the panel with artificial flowers and decorations. The second version of the panel “Summer morning”

For this option, we do everything the same as in the first case. We just make the frame from cinnamon and ground coffee 1. Measure the required distance (6 cm) from the edge of the panel and glue the cinnamon with hot glue 2. Making the frame To do this, you need to outline the frame and coat it with PVA glue, and then sprinkle with ground coffee, shake off the rest on table 3. Drawing the “coffee aroma” I planned to make the frame from coffee beans, but left it that way for now. 4. Decorate with artificial flowers

That's it, all our coffee bean panels are ready! They will not only decorate your room, but also fill it with an amazing coffee aroma!
