DIY bean panel on the wall. Paintings and panels made from coffee beans

In Ancient Egypt, in order to make a topiary, you had to find a plant with a lush crown and give it a bizarre shape. Nowadays, this process has become simpler, but no less interesting.

By giving space to your imagination, you can make an original product even from bean grains, the main thing is to show desire.

We suggest making bean topiary with your own hands from scrap materials, without using a ball-shaped blank and a flower pot. To do this, you will need old newspapers, threads, glue, a disposable cup, alabaster or plaster, a dry twig, white paint, burlap and various decorative elements.

First of all, you will need to crumple up the newspapers and give the lump as round and even a shape as possible.

Then we fix this shape with threads and coat the ball with glue.

We make a hole in the ball with threads.

Cover the branch with white paint.

And we put a paper and thread ball on it.

We dilute alabaster in a disposable cup.

And we immerse the topiary blank into it. We are waiting for the alabaster to harden. Cut off the excess part of the plastic cup.

And we cover it with green padding polyester, down or fluffy yarn - depending on what is available.

We arm ourselves with a glue gun and begin to paste the bean grains over the workpiece.

Well, the last grain is glued, the bean craft is almost done, the photo of which you can now see! All that remains is to give it the necessary gloss.

To do this, we take burlap, fold it in half and coat it with glue.

We wrap the cup with this burlap, placing the fold at the top.

We bend the bottom edge under the bottom of the cup.

Cut a round bottom from the remnants of burlap.

Glue the bottom onto the bottom of the cup.

And on top we decorate the glass with the remains of the green filler.

Take two wooden skewers for shish kebab. We break one in half, the second we break into small pieces.

We glue together a miniature ladder.

We cut out two wings of a butterfly from felt, and glue its body from beads.

We collect the butterfly and stick it on the ball.

We bring a couple of beans to life by drawing eyes on them. We place one bean on the ladder, the second in a pot.

Now the DIY bean craft is complete!

Craft “bean topiary”

Of course, you can decorate it at your own discretion, taking into account the occasion for which the craft is being prepared, and this is the beauty of homemade topiaries: they can be given any look using the same materials as a basis.

Let's look at a master class on do-it-yourself bean panels

To make a panel like in the photo above, you will need:

  • White and dark beans
  • Photo frame
  • Instant glue
  • Gouache paints
  • Simple pencil

Before you start working, you should first make a sketch of the future picture. To do this, use a simple pencil to create the desired design on the inside of the frame. To draw a perfectly round sun, you can take a plate and trace it. You can also take stencils of cat figures, having previously cut them out of paper. It is important to remember that the thinnest line should not be less than the width of one bean, otherwise there will be a discrepancy in size.

The resulting drawing must be painted over with black and white gouache paint so that the space between the beans is not colorless. At this stage the work looks like the photo below.

Now you can glue the beans. Since when drawing a contour it is impossible to take into account the size of the beans, it is acceptable that they extend slightly beyond it. To make the picture on the panel neat, you can sort out the beans, choosing fruits of the same size. As you can see in the first photo, the beans are glued first along the contour of all the shapes, and then in rows. To make the painting shiny and durable, it can be coated with clear varnish on top. The ideal option is to spray it from a spray bottle. All you have to do is put on the frame and the panel is ready!

Let's try to make a panel for the kitchen from coffee beans

Who didn’t want their usual kitchen to become like an original and cozy restaurant? You can add more charm to this room with the help of an unusual panel made of cinnamon and coffee beans, which have a rich aroma and deep color.

So, to make such a panel ourselves, we will need:

  • 1 liter plastic bottle
  • Ground and bean coffee
  • Masking (white) tape
  • Rough burlap
  • PVA glue and instant glue
  • Cinnamon
  • Dried lemon slice
  • Twine thread
  • Brown gouache
  • Scissors, ruler, brush

When everything you need for the panel is assembled, you can start working. It starts with cutting a plastic bottle in half. Next we need a half with a neck. It is also cut into two slightly different halves. One remains with a neck, and the other without.

Half without a neck is the future cup of coffee. From cardboard you need to cut out the back wall to the size of the cup, as well as the bottom for it. Don't forget about the saucer. The cut out parts of the mug need to be glued together as in the photo below.

The resulting blank should be covered with white masking tape. This is done so that the coffee beans stick better to the paper surface. Next, the workpiece is covered with brown gouache paint. Now the gap between the grains will not be noticeable.

When the paint has dried, you can start gluing the coffee beans. To do this, grains of approximately equal size are selected, and the edge of the mug is coated with glue. It is important to cover with glue only the area to which the grains will immediately attach, and not the entire area in advance. First, the grains are glued strictly along the contour, as in the photo. Be sure to glue them so that they do not protrude beyond the edge, otherwise the workpiece will not stick to the background.

When the grains are glued along the contour, you can fill the remaining area of ​​the mug. To your taste, you can glue the grains on one side or on different sides, but still the flat side, which has a dent, fits better on the surface.

The saucer is also covered with grains.

The main detail of the composition is a cup of coffee, ready. Now we need to take care of the background. To do this, place the base with burlap glued to it in the frame. To ensure that it sits evenly, the fabric can be pre-ironed. A mug and a handle made from grains are glued to the burlap.

All that remains is to decorate the panel. To do this, you need to tie cinnamon sticks onto a bow with twine and glue them to the saucer, and place a slice of lemon on the other side. The final touch is steam over the mug. To do this, draw waves of steam using a generous layer of PVA glue and sprinkle them with ground coffee. After this, the ground grains must be carefully shaken off, turning the panel upside down.

An alternative option for the frame is to cover the edges of the burlap with glue and sprinkle them with coffee according to the principle described above. If desired, the panel can be decorated with colorful artificial flowers. A bright and fragrant panel for the kitchen is ready! Such work will certainly pleasantly surprise your family and guests, because almost no one is indifferent to the invigorating drink.

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 relieves 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)
- glue "Titan"
- hot glue
- decorative flowers and decorations
- cinnamon
- dried lemon, orange, zest roses
- leg-split
- packaging cardboard
- brown gouache
- brush, ruler, scissors
Step-by-step production
1. Cut off the top part of a plastic bottle, the length from the neck is 13 cm (two parts are made from one bottle), cut in half lengthwise, 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. We cover the workpiece with masking tape, we need this for the strength of the mug, for better gluing of coffee beans and so that the hot glue does 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 it is necessary for the coffee to stick immediately; and I painted the workpiece on top with gouache again)


6. Making a mug
It is necessary 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 onto Titan glue (I drop a little glue onto the workpiece and spread it over a small area with a wooden skewer). You can glue all the beans on one side


I prefer to alternate grains with 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. Cover the frames with burlap



11. Glue a mug and saucer with hot glue and make a handle from grains


12. Decorate the panel
We tie the cinnamon with twine and glue it on with 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 create the “coffee aroma” coming from the mug.
Draw, apply PVA glue and sprinkle with ground coffee. Shake off the remains.




16. Decorate the panel with artificial flowers and decorations








Second version of the panel "Summer Morning"


For this option, we do everything the same as in the first case. Only the frame is made 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 a 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 the table
