How to make topiary with coffee. Coffee trees (40 photos): how to create a topiary with your own hands

An original coffee tree “Spices of the East” with a neat crown of coffee beans glued with the core facing out. Mostly natural materials were used to decorate the topiary: cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices, peas, pepper, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, and brown pasta bows. The decorative tree is planted in a ceramic cup filled with plaster. The barrel is made from a curved corilus stick with a delicate satin polka dot bow. To decorate the base, fluffed twine and a composition of materials from the crown, complemented by a snail shell, were used.

Step-by-step master class with photos - DIY coffee tree

Preparing the barrel and ball, filling the pot with alabaster (plaster)

Stage 1. Barrel preparation and bronzing. For the “Spices of the East” coffee tree, a trunk from a self-harvested corilus branch was used. That is why sanding was needed before painting to ensure the paint applied evenly. Store-bought Corilus sticks do not require processing.

Bronze the smooth trunk evenly using acrylic paint. As a rule, to get a rich color, it is enough to apply 1 layer, but it all depends on the quality of the acrylic.

Stage 2. Painting the ball. We paint the foam ball in 1 layer with brown acrylic (to match the color of coffee beans). Instead of acrylic paints, you can use a mixture of gouache and PVA glue, or wind with brown yarn to hide the gaps between the coffee beans. In addition to the visual benefit, coffee sticks better to a painted or wrapped ball (hot silicone does not burn through the foam).

While the ball is drying, paint the required number of pasta bows brown so that you don’t have to unwrap the paint job again later.

Stage 3. Attaching the trunk and filling the pot with plaster. There are 2 methods: liquid and thick solution. The first method is used if a smooth pouring surface is required or the topiary design involves pouring the pots right to the very edges. In all other cases, the solution is mixed in a pot:

• Fill in plaster, about 1/2 of the pots.
• Slowly pour water, stirring the solution until a thick, viscous mixture is obtained. Be careful with the water so that the solution doesn’t turn out too liquid!
• We insert the barrel in the right place - to the bottom.

Such a filling of topiary dries almost completely in 2-3 hours.

Forming the crown and decorating the ball

Stage 4. Gluing the coffee beans. The plaster cast dries, and we move on to forming the base from coffee beans. There are at least 4 ways to glue coffee onto a topiary ball, but now we will use the longest and most scrupulous one - glue one grain at a time, with the core facing out. This is justified for the design of a particular coffee tree, since we need to get a smooth and neat base.

We select whole coffee beans and cover the entire surface of the ball, leaving only a small area for the hole for the barrel.

Stage 5. Landing the ball on the barrel. Approximately to the middle of the ball, we use scissors to cut a hole equal to (but not more!) the diameter of the barrel. We fix the barrel with glue in the required position according to the intended design. We coat the gypsum base with PVA glue in 2 layers so that the decor sticks better. Fixing the topiary trunk and processing the base is allowed only after the plaster has completely dried!

Stage 6. Small decor. In a chaotic manner, over the entire surface of the crown of the coffee tree, as well as in the remaining spaces between the grains, we glue small decorations - peppercorns and star pasta. We distribute the same painted bow pasta in the same way, but leave room for the central composition.

Stage 7. Main composition. In a pre-selected place on the crown of the coffee topiary we form a central composition:

• The base is 2 dried orange or lemon slices, placed on top of each other.
• A “button” made of salt dough or a similar decorative element.
• We glue brown felt leaves (cut in the shape of a “fish”) around the citrus slices in 3 places: on the sides and bottom.
• We glue bay leaves on top and sides - in bundles of 3 pieces.
• Glue 2 cinnamon sticks tied with twine or paper twine onto bay leaves.
• Small decor: cardamom seeds, cloves, peppercorns, coffee beans - we glue them randomly throughout the composition.

Filling the pot and finishing topiary decor

Stage 8. Composition at the base. On a plaster surface treated with PVA glue, we form a multi-layer “clearing” (each layer is carefully fixed with glue or hot silicone):

1. Aromatic base - cloves, cardamom, peppercorns, coffee beans.
2. “Grass” made from fluffed twine or similar ready-made material.
3. Main composition: dried orange slices (halves), bay leaves, decorative snail.

Stage 9. Finishing decor. The final touch remains: all over the topiary we glue corn, peppercorns, coffee beans, peas and other small decor. Not too much, only where there was clearly a void left. We glue a pre-made bow from satin ribbon or a ready-made bow onto the trunk.

To protect topiary made from natural material from damage by insects, lightly treat the finished tree with any hairspray.

Target: This tree was made for Children's Day.

The coffee tree makes a great birthday gift.

I want to dedicate this master class to everyone who likes coffee topiaries. Each master makes a coffee tree in his own way, based on his vision and imagination. Various materials can be used as decoration. These can be flowers made of paper, ribbons, burlap, lace, sisal, fabric, jute, small floral arrangements in the form of butterflies, ladybugs. The shape of such trees is also very diverse. I made my own coffee tree for the children of my group. The coffee tree makes a great birthday gift.

Necessary materials for making wood from coffee:

Aluminum wire;

Ball for “dry pool”;

Flower pot;

Alibaster;

Wooden skewers for shish kebab;

Dark fabric for the ball;

Various materials for decoration

Step-by-step process of making coffee tree:

Making a trunk for a coffee tree. Measure the length you need. It depends on the height of the pot and the size of the tree. You can make the trunk straight, but I suggest making it wavy. Apply glue to the wire and wrap it with twine.

Select required size ball and make a puncture with the same wire wrapped in twine.

Cover the ball with fabric so that the red color does not show through (I took brown nylon).

We begin to cover the ball with coffee beans. I glue the grains on different sides.

Our ball is covered with grains. We leave it to dry.

While it is drying, we make a ladder of wooden skewers for fairy-tale characters.

Pour alibastra powder into the pot. Pour some water. Stir well. Place the tree trunks and ladder in the center of the pot and hold them in position until the alabaster sets. This will take a few minutes.

I cut thin strips from green paper.

I crush it a little with my hands and turn it into grass. I hide alibastra with our weed.

We decorate our coffee tree with beads, butterflies, ribbons, and fairy-tale characters.

The finished coffee tree can be coated with acrylic varnish for durability and shine, but it is better not to do this so that the aroma of coffee fills any room.

Topiary is a universal gift for a birthday, New Year, housewarming - any other celebration for a man, woman, child, decorating any interior. We are not talking about trees and shrubs that are regularly trimmed to give shape. Ancient gardeners took evergreen plants with a dense crown as a basis. Through targeted care, they were turned into balls, columns, and arbors. In Russia, artistic pruning of plants was introduced by Peter the Great, but it was accessible only to a few rich and noble people.

Today, beautiful manicured gardens with geometric designs are experiencing a renaissance. Topiary leaves no one indifferent, but not everyone has the opportunity to grow such gardens at home, and people brought the art of creating topiary into the home, growing tiny trees for interior decoration. Now you don’t even need to grow it - it’s very fashionable to decorate your house with artificially created trees. What is not used when creating them: natural materials, products, feathers, shells, pebbles, cocktail umbrellas, beads, ribbons, flowers, buttons... . But the most popular material for making a tree of happiness is coffee beans. And the DIY topiary made from coffee beans looks interesting and also exudes a lively, invigorating aroma.

If trimming a living topiary requires special skill, then anyone can “grow” our tree of happiness. You can buy a decorative tree in the most luxurious design - made of amethyst, citrine, crystal or coral - in a store, but how can you buy happiness? It's in our hands!

What does the tree of happiness consist of?

Even a beginner can master this art: coffee beans are easy to work with - they don’t wrinkle or break, and no special materials are required for such a tree, they are all affordable and are always on sale. First of all, you need to prepare

Topiary made from coffee beans

Tools and materials

• 100 g of evenly roasted coffee beans;
• children's cup - sippy cup (can be bought at stationery stores);
• natural whitewash brush (available on the market and in hardware stores);
• plastic ball measuring 8 - 10 cm (from a toy store);
• brown threads;
• scissors;
• two rubber bands for money;
• transparent universal glue;
• a glass of sand;
• gypsum or cement;
• a stick or branch about 20 cm long and up to 2 cm thick;
• twine (50 cm).

Step-by-step instruction

We begin to create a topiary with our own hands from coffee from the crown of a tree, for which we carefully cut a hole in a plastic ball with scissors along the diameter of the trunk.

If the color of the ball is bright and contrasting, it is worth painting it with acrylic paints to match the coffee beans - it will be easier to mask the voids. We disassemble the whitewash brush by cutting the ropes and disassembling the washcloth into strands. At one end of the future trunk we secure the end of the thread - the bast - with an elastic band. We coat the stick with universal glue and tightly lay the turns in a spiral. At the end we put on an elastic band again.

Insert the barrel into the ball until it stops. To be safe, you can fill the free space with napkins and add a little glue. It is easier to glue grains not onto a plastic base, but onto a mesh of threads. Therefore, we first wrap the ball with brown threads and fix it with glue. You can also use strands from a whitewash brush for this purpose.

A DIY coffee topiary master class would be incomplete without describing some details, in particular the preparation of coffee beans. We open the package and sort the beans by size and quality: round, shapeless ones will be used as a base for a pot or in a coffee grinder for decoration; pieces with defects - immediately into a coffee grinder; not quite even, but strong - for the first layer of the crown; fill the voids with small whole ones; pointed - at the joints; smooth, large and beautiful - on the top layer.

Pasting the ball. Prepare transparent superglue, a brush and grains for the first layer. For better relief, it is advisable to glue them with different sides alternately. We apply the glue to each grain quickly and carefully (it leaves indelible stains on the coffee and quickly sticks to your hands). Work in a ventilated area. So that the smell of glue does not cover the aroma of coffee. You can work with a heat gun or liquid nails.

One layer of coffee is not enough; after drying, cover the topiary with a second layer of the largest beans, remembering to alternate the grooves and the smooth side. To prevent the glue from leaving glare, you need to work especially carefully.

Decorating the pot

1. Now let's take care of the exclusive pot. We begin to glue the bottom. To do this, lay out a layer of strands from the brush in a size slightly larger than the bottom area, apply glue to the bottom of the pot and glue the washcloth. We cut off the protruding parts.
2. We decorate the pot itself. We cut the strands 3 cm longer than the height of the pot. Apply glue to the glass. Not reaching the top 2-3 cm, glue the washcloth in even, dense strands.
3. After gluing, tie the bottom of the pot together with twine. We trim the edge so that it is 2 cm higher than the level of the glass.
4. We cover the funnel with strands of brush and insert the tree trunk into it.
5. Fill the container with plaster, sand or alabaster.
6. Insert the funnel into the glass. We tie the top part with twine and trim the ends.
7. The crown can be covered with a protective layer of transparent varnish or paint, but many craftsmen skip this stage, because such treatment completely removes the aroma of coffee - the highlight of the coffee tree.

And finally, the most interesting moment is the decoration. Fruits and flowers are a symbol of sympathy and prosperity, coins are wishes for wealth. The coffee aroma and cinnamon aroma go well together. You can attach an anise star to the top.

You can use jewelry to disguise some minor defects. Glue a few coffee beans at the base of the trunk - an association with fallen leaves. You can decorate with a bow, butterfly, ladybug. Photo of a do-it-yourself topiary made from coffee, you can find some interesting ideas for yourself.

The master class presents a classic version of a round coffee topiary. But what prevents us from deviating from the rules and making a crown in the form of an ellipse, pyramid or cube for an original gift. In the shape of a heart, topiary looks especially romantic and expresses feelings without any words.

Decorate the tube prepared for the trunk of the mini-tree (this can be a pencil or an unnecessary knitting needle) with tape, ribbons or string. In a container intended for installing a tree, prepare a quickly hardening composition and fix the trunk of the future topiary. Hold the barrel in the desired position until the mixture hardens.

After this, start decorating the bottom of the ball with grains. Glue them onto the curing compound in two layers. Fix the crown and trunk together using glue.

The finishing touch is decorating the tree with beads, bows and other decorative accessories.

Topiary made of coffee and coins

In addition to coffee beans, other accessories can be used to decorate ornamental trees. For example, you can make a topiary consisting of coffee and coins, complemented by lightning.

To bring this idea to life, prepare a spherical base by choosing a suitable lock.

Advice: If you are using foam rubber, start by covering the ball with a loose layer of cotton wool and tightening it with threads. This will ensure better gluing of the grains.

Cover the rounded crown of the tree with a layer of brown paint. After it has dried, attach the zipper (after unzipping it) to mark the place of imitation of scattered coins. Apply the coins with a heat gun - you should start from the center of the crown.

Having finished with the coins, glue the zipper: use heated glue for this.

Topiary made of coffee and coins

Decorate the rest of the surface of the ball with coffee beans (two layers). But don't forget to leave room for the topiary trunk. Make a trunk, decorate it with ribbons and combine it with the crown.

Prepare a container to place the lucky tree. Make the container look attractive by wrapping it in paper. Cover the top of the container with grains. Using the hardening compound, fix the topiary and decorate it.

That's all the main secrets of making a mini-tree. Choose accessories based on the interior features of the room in which the topiary will be located.

The design may also depend on the specific occasion - if you are planning to give someone your creation.

Coffee flower tree

A great idea is to make a coffee topiary for the occasion of March 8, decorated with floral accessories, and give such a craft to someone close to you. These can be paper decorative elements, beads, beads, satin ribbons and even jewelry. A lucky tree with a floral design can be decorated with homemade roses, violets and other artificial flowers.

A coffee-flower topiary is created using conventional technology. Decorative elements in the form of flowers are glued to the crown at the final stage of work. The best option is to place them exclusively on one side.

If you want to make topiary with more intricate floral decorations, such as roses, first study workshops that teach you how to create mini-trees from glitter or satin ribbons and other techniques (for example, using the kanzashi technique).

Topiary "Gentleman"

We bring to your attention another idea that is easy to implement in practice - a topiary tree with the beautiful name “Gentleman” made from coffee beans. It will take about three hours to make such a craft.

You can create a gentleman's topiary using a principle similar to the options described above. First make the head, then the body and legs. The body and legs are made of thick wire, which is wrapped with rope or twine to increase strength.

Important! The man must be stable, so he should be glued to a rigid, even base.

Having made a little man, decorate him using available materials: make a hat, a cane and other expressive details.

Topiary Gentleman from coffee

floating bowl

A topiary in the form of a floating cup filled with coffee is a very original craft, which is not so easy to make on your own, but it’s worth a try, because the thing will turn out to be very unusual.

To create such a topiary you will need:

• coffee beans;
• wire;
• super-resistant glue;
• cup and saucer;
• acrylic-based paints in white and chocolate shades;
• fabric (napkin);

Bend the wire along the inner shape of the cup - and along the remaining length in an arc (in this place the imitation of flowing coffee will be recreated). Clean the fat from it using alcohol and attach it to the cup with superglue.

At the bottom of the topiary we will make a mini cake. Insulation will help give it porosity. Make five small round cake layers. Each subsequent layer should be smaller. Before attaching them together with glue, align the edges. Paint the cut areas with white and chocolate paint.

The cut with the missing piece should be porous. Decorate the remaining part with fabric using decoupage technology.

After the craft has dried, trim off the protruding edges, use a heated awl to make a hole in the cake and paint it brown to make it look more realistic.

Pull the wire through the notch and bend it at the end. Make a small niche at the bottom of the cake to disguise the bend in the wire.

Decorate the cake with coconut flakes applied over the acrylic coating. Make a snake-shaped pattern on the saucer using brown paint. Using glue, fix the bent tip of the wire on the saucer. Combine the saucer with the cake.

Decorate the part of the wire that is visible with a napkin. Glue coffee beans onto the frame, pour a little glue onto the cake, mix varnish and dye in equal proportions and cover with an imitation chocolate-coffee stream. You will create a realistic imitation of a cup of coffee with a saucer.

• wire;
• pencil;
• small tennis ball;
• papier-mâché ball;
• ruler;
• flower pot;
• small scissors;
• device for burning.

Make a flower leaf from 12 cm of ribbon. Using a burning tool or glue, combine its lower edges. You will need about 40 leaves.

Use papier-mâché and tape to create the inside of the sunflower. Use a tennis ball as the base for the bud. Stick coffee on the base and cover them with colorless varnish. After this, secure the petals around the center of the flowers.

Make a sunflower trunk from wire, treat it with glue and wrap it with twine.

Now it’s the turn of the drape sepals. They are attached with glue to the back of the decorative sunflower. The next step is to attach the flower to the stem. Glue small drape petals to the wire.

Money topiary

A wonderful idea for an original gift is the “Money Tree” topiary.

To create a coffee and money topiary you will need the following materials:

• coffee beans;
• cardboard;
• rope or twine;
• bamboo stick;
• a base for a tree, for example, a coffee cup.

How to make a coffee tree topiary

Decorate the base by wrapping the cup with rope. Use the printed cardboard template of the American currency sign.

Important! The stencil should have three-dimensional slits, since when coffee seeds are glued, most of the noticeable bends will no longer be visible.

By placing the bamboo sticks on the cardboard, make sure that the configuration suits you. If there is such a need, fasten two cardboard templates together. You can wrap them with rope and coat them with glue. After this, cover the dollar with coffee beans, closing all the cavities.

Wrap four bamboo sticks with rope as well. In the place where they will contact the dollar, use coffee beans - they will hold the sign. Having finished with the top, prepare an alabaster mixture to secure the topiary. Place the tree at the base.

Take wooden skewers decorated with rope or coffee beans and glue them to the dollar. Wait for it to dry and decorate with accessories - the original gift is ready.

How to make topiary from coffee and beads

If you are into crafts and have the skills to create miniature jewelry, you can make a coffee topiary from beads.

The most popular method of making a tree of happiness from coffee is the formation of a solid topiary with leaves made of beads with decorative elements from coffee beans. Such balls are made in the usual way: glue is applied to the base, and two layers of grains are applied on top.

Attention! The wire tree must support the weight of the balls, so they should not be made too heavy.

The basis for the tree can be a cup in a saucer attached with glue. Wrap the topiary trunk in a napkin and paint it. Decorate the crown with small accessories, for example, ribbons.

To increase the shelf life of topiary, coat it with aerosol varnish.
