How to do?
To make a topiary in the form of a heart from coffee, you need to step by step to follow the instructions of the master class. At the preparation stage, it is necessary to choose a thick film of aluminum, 50 centimeters long, and for a tree stand - a conventional glass of yogurt. To create a heart-shaped base, cotton discs, cardboard, scissors, pencil and white threads.
In addition, the glue-gun will be useful for work, the gouache paint of brown, coffee beans themselves, acrylic varnish, satin ribbon of brown, pink and beige shade, strong paper, rhinestones and tape. To make a pot for a pot, it will be necessary to connect cement, alabaster and sand taken in relation to 1: 1: 2, and clean water.
The first thing on the cardboard it is necessary to cut the heart of this size so that it turns out somewhere on a centimeter less than the expected crown. It is created immediately in two copies. The wires of the wire are rewound with a tape to provide better gluing. One of the parts treated in this way is placed in the center of the cardboard blank and is fixed with hot glue. From above, the wire is again labeled with glue and is covered with a second pattern.
For To crack the tree turned out to be volumetric, its surface is laid with cotton "pancakes" and is rewinded for many times with a thread. Next, the heart must be painted in a coffee tint and leave to dry. At the next stage, the crown surface is covered with coffee beans, and the work begins with the edges of the workpiece and follows to the center. Each grain must be fixed using hot glue and put it down. When the surface is filled, it is necessary to form a second coffee layer, but already placing the grains so that the sherbinki look out.
Ready heart is lacquered. The wire performing the role of the trunk is required to twist in the helix with the help of a wooden spanch, around which it is spinning. Next, it is worth reeling the satin ribbon, the ends of which are fixed with hot glue. A glass of yogurt is drawn up with a fastener sheet planted for glue. From above, the capacitance is tied with a neat bow from the tape into the tone of the paper.
Pink-colored satin ribbons are used to twist floral boutons, which are then fixed on the surface of the coffee heart. From the remains of the same ribbon, a bow, which will be necessary to tie at the base of the crown. The finished design is slightly decorated with small straps. A diluted mixture for filler is poured into the yoghurt glass. It is important that she reminded its consistency.
The tree trunk is smoothly inserted into the cement composition and is left to dry over several hours. When the surface of the "land" hardens, it will be possible to paint acrylic paint. In principle, making the coffee heart, you can upload the grains in the form of any pattern or place the end. Particles must fit the most tight to each other. The surface of the pot can also be decorate with coffee beans, if you pre-lubricate it with glue. The finished design is decorated with bows, beads and ribbons.
Toopiary will look very unusually, the crown of which is decorated with a sudent orange and a jute bow, and the surface of the "earth" is covered with coffee beans and decorated with a pair of cinnaminal sticks and dried citrus. Instead of pot, in this case it is recommended to use a large cup.
Beautiful examples
Cardboard blank for the heart can be made through. Thus, Krone will visually look easier, and the Topiary himself - look pretty non-standard . The coffee heart itself is decorated with cinnamon sticks and clips of cloves, and a spiral trunk, upholstered with jute, fixed in a miniature watering can. Another unusual solution is the design of half of the coffee crown with the help of tissue roses of pink and blue shades. This decision will give the product the necessary brightness and make the appearance of the "blooming" tree more memorable.
