DIY coffee beans. DIY Christmas decor: a tree of coffee beans

New Year traditionally smells of tangerines and a Christmas tree. However, you can add variety and add some coffee, cinnamon and vanilla. Coffee bean trees in the interior delight with their appearance, as well as the aroma of warmth and comfort.

Making a Christmas tree from coffee beans is very close to the technique of creating topiary, but it has its own nuances.

To create a Christmas decor with our own hands, we need:

  • foam cone
  • small glass jar
  • wire
  • alabaster + water
  • glue gun for needlework + 3-5 sticks of glue
  • jute twine
  • coffee beans
  • dried citrus fruits
  • floral moss
  • sackcloth
  • decorative elements

How to make a Christmas tree from coffee beans

We connect the glue gun for needlework, since we will work primarily with it, and while it is heating up, we are engaged in the base for the Christmas tree.

We take a foam cone and wire. We make a hole in the cone, carefully insert the wire into it.

We take jute twine and wrap them with the base for the Christmas tree.

We fix the twine with a glue gun. To look neat, do it pointwise.

As a result, we get just such a Christmas tree.

We take a thin wire. Fold it in half and twist it together.

We pass the twine into the “eye” that we have, and tie a knot, then wrap the wire with jute along the entire length.



Insert the wire into the base of the Christmas tree. We got a playful tail, which we fix with a glue gun.

The Christmas tree leg should also be wrapped with twine.

Getting started with coffee beans.

Based on our Christmas tree, we glue coffee beans individually.

We start with a sharp edge at the base of the tree.

Then close the bottom with grains ...

And the whole Christmas tree.

We try to place the grains as close as possible.

We make a Christmas tree pot.

Take a glass jar and burlap.

We make a jar in a bag (according to the scheme in the figure).

So that the bag does not turn around, we fix it with glue from the inside.

We "plant" our Christmas tree using any method available to you (we have alabaster) and make a "green meadow" of moss.

We decorate our Christmas tree with strings, ropes, an orange and a bronze pendant.

Our Christmas tree is ready.

If you do not have moss - it does not matter, you can replace it with the same coffee beans.

All with the upcoming holidays!
