The main holiday of winter is approaching - New Year. The most anticipated and beloved family holiday! Now on the shelves of supermarkets and shops you can buy a variety of New Year's gifts. But it is on this holiday that it is pleasant to receive a handmade gift. If you want to surprise your family and friends, try making an exclusive New Year's souvenir - a Christmas tree made from coffee beans.
It is necessary
- - cardboard 1 sheet;
- - colorless glue moment (1 tube of 50 ml);
- - black woolen thread (ball);
- - coffee beans (100-150 g);
- - black peppercorns (small and large);
- - nail polish (white, red, green);
- - decorations (bows, beads)
Instructions
Step 1
Preparing the base for the Christmas tree. We take a sheet of cardboard and fold it in a cone. For convenience, the joints can be fixed with a stapler. We glue the edges of the cardboard to each other. Next, coat the entire blank for the Christmas tree with a thin layer of glue. Glue the cone in a circle with woolen threads. Leave it to dry completely.
Step 2
We form a herringbone. Next, we begin to glue the coffee beans. Lubricate small areas of the workpiece with glue and apply grains. Which side to glue the grains is up to you. For a more aesthetic look, I recommend gluing the grains with the smooth side to the workpiece. Once you have pasted over the entire workpiece, let the tree dry completely.
Step 3
We decorate the Christmas tree. Prepare the balls in advance. Take black peppercorns and coat with white varnish. Let dry. Spread the peas alternating between small and large grains. Next, decorate the Christmas tree with all sorts of attributes: bows, tinsel and beads. Also, for a more festive look, paint some of the grains on the tree with varnish. You can use a wide variety of colors: red, green, purple, yellow, etc.
Step 4
We fix the Christmas tree. After decorating the Christmas tree is finished, I recommend to grease the whole Christmas tree with mother-of-pearl varnish. This step is to make your tree play in the light, like a real one.
