So that from under the grains of coffee the main color of the ball could not be seen, it is painted with a brown spray-paint. Leave the paint to dry for at least a day. For this long time, you will have enough time to prepare the rest of the materials.

You must will need to go through all the coffee beans, which you are going to use. Sort them according to their size and remove the damaged corn. You do not need to use them. When the paint on the ball is completely dry, you can start to glue the grains. To do this, it is best to use hot glue, it grasps much faster, and it is very easy to apply it.

Also, you can glue grains on the edge, then the crown of the tree will turn out to be "fluffy". Allow the glue to dry completely, and at this time, take up the trunk.

As a trunk can use any hard material. Slightly curved thick enough branchwill be just right. You can also make a barrel from any hard roll. In this case, the straight trunk can be decorated, for example, by wrapping it with string or straw. If you decide to use a tree branch, you can paint it in a different color. But initially rub it with a little sandpaper to give it smoothness.

When the glue is completely dry, you can fasten ittrunk. Insert the trunk of the tree as far as it will go into the ball. Stick a few grains around the trunk to give it stiffness and secure it well. Now that your coffee tree is ready, you can put it in a pot. To do this, attach a small piece of wire to the base of the barrel. Insert the tree in the pot. Top with a few pieces of foam. Pour a potted water into the pot. Allow the gypsum to dry. Decorate the decorative elements with a tree to hide the plaster. If desired, you can add other decorations to the crown or tree trunk. Your coffee tree is ready.
