The template must be cut out and transferred to thick cardboard. Circle and cut out.
We glue the cardboard sides to the stand, and fix it around with adhesive tape on top.
We take cotton pads and apply to the product.
Then we fix, that is, we tie everything with threads.
There is another option: cut out the silhouette from dark fabric, and stick it on the workpiece. And already directly on the fabric to glue coffee beans. Choose which option you like best. It seems to us that the fabric option is simpler and faster. Then we take brown acrylic paint, and paint over the Cat before gluing the grains. We let the paint dry, and only glue coffee beans on the dried surface. If you work with a hot glue gun, then you need to glue quickly, as the glue dries quickly.
This is how the product looks from the wrong side, if there were threads, then we cut them off.
This is what it looks like from the front side. A bit like a front garden.

We make decoupage with lavender napkins. Napkins or pictures can be any you like. If you have a laser printer, you are lucky, you can print any image.
Carefully remove one layer from the napkin, coat the napkins with a brush with PVA glue. That is, first we coat with glue the place where we planned to glue the drawing, and then we cover the drawing with glue on top. Here's what happens in the end.
Professionals almost always cover decoupage with varnish on top, but we think that in this case it is unnecessary.
As you can see, nothing complicated, but as a result we have an interesting decor for the kitchen.

Coffee beans are not only a tasty and invigorating drink. For creative people, coffee beans are a unique material for creativity and an endless flight of fantasy. What can be made from coffee beans? Yes, a lot of things: coffee topiary trees, coffee magnets, fragrant coffee sachets, crafts a la “flying cup” and coffee paintings. How to make the latter, you will learn from this article.
Coffee pictures are very fragrant and will be an excellent gift for a coffee lover, and will successfully fit into almost any interior.
There are a great many options for coffee paintings, their main feature is the simplicity and uncomplicatedness of the pattern. You can make three-dimensional paintings using other items, or you can limit yourself to just coffee beans.
To make a coffee picture, you will need: coffee beans (buy a large pack of the most inexpensive coffee beans), a photo frame (it is better to take A4 format, it will be more difficult to create a picture from coffee in a smaller frame), a substrate (background) of the picture (a piece of burlap or wallpaper (a cork panel or very thick cardboard can perfectly replace a photo frame), a simple pencil and / or a printout with a future pattern, glue. ceiling tiles and styrofoam borders are usually glued like this), but please note that such glue needs a certain time to solidify, which will slow down the production of the picture.
If you are using a ready-made photo frame, then open it from the back and pull out the glass from the frame - we will not need it. You can use a dense frame backing as the background of the picture, or you can decorate this backing with a piece of wallpaper or burlap, gluing the latter to the backing. Sketch the future drawing on the background with a felt-tip pen or pencil. As a picture, you can choose a cup of coffee, a flower or some kind of inscription - the easiest to make. Apply glue to a small area of the drawing along the line and “plant” coffee beans on the glue. Do these manipulations with the whole picture. Then proceed to the design of the frame: apply glue in the same way and glue the grains on top one by one. Let the painting dry well. As an additional decor, you can use cinnamon sticks and flowers.
By gluing grains, you can decorate more than one piece of furniture, from candles to watches.
A three-dimensional picture with a cup and saucer is almost as easy to make.
It is not necessary to use real heavy porcelain objects, much less to beat them - children's plastic tea pairs, sold in any toy store, will easily replace them. Come up with a composition - and, go ahead, glue, glue, glue!
