Topiary is a wonderful decorative fantasy tree of happiness that can be made from different materials. It will perfectly decorate any interior. For coffee lovers, I suggest making a fragrant coffee topiary.
To create a simple coffee topiary we will need:
— coffee beans (Arabica variety);
- glue gun;
- ball - base;
- stick - trunk;
— Alabaster – a mixture for plastering;
- water;
- PVA glue, brush;
- paints, brush;
- paper napkins;
- flower pot;
— pink and beige satin ribbons;
- beads for decoration.
Preparing the base - the ball
For the crown of the topiary, I chose a simple rubber children's ball. I've had it on my radar for a long time; children grow up and toys become unnecessary. So a ball of suitable size came in handy. I managed to connect the base and the stick for the barrel together without the help of glue. It fit the size of the ball hole perfectly.
You can use other bases, such as a store-bought styrofoam ball or a plastic kiddie pool ball. Or you can make it yourself, from old newspapers.
Preparing the base
It is quite difficult to combine coffee beans with a rubber base, so we will glue our ball using ordinary napkins and PVA glue using the papier-mâché method. Instead of napkins, you can use regular newspaper. In this case, we will use white paper napkins.
We tear the napkins into small pieces and cover the ball with them. Let it dry for about an hour to an hour and a half.
Paint the resulting structure with brown paint to match the color of coffee beans. This is necessary so that the gaps between the grains are not so visible. You can choose any paint, but it is better to take acrylic.
Gluing coffee beans
Now we begin the most difficult and painstaking part of the work: gluing the coffee beans. You will need to paste the base in two layers. Therefore, we divide all available grains into two parts: small, uneven grains will go to the bottom layer. We will leave the most beautiful, strong and flat grains of the correct shape for the final layer.
Glue the grains using a glue gun. Press them closer together, try to leave as little space between them as possible. Place the second layer of grains as carefully as possible, try not to use a lot of glue so that there is no glare.
Place the first layer of coffee beans with the convex side up, and the second layer down. The main part of the work is done.
Decorating the topiary trunk
Carefully wrap the topiary stick with a beige satin ribbon. In order for the tape to hold firmly, it can be secured with drops of glue along the edges.
Pot decor:
To decorate the pot, take a pink satin ribbon and wrap it around the middle around the perimeter. Add to it a rose made from ribbon. It is done very simply - by folding the tape.
Installing a topiary
In a separate bowl, dilute the solution mixture (I still have Alabaster at home after renovation) to the consistency of thin sour cream. Place the tree in a pot and fill it with solution.
The solution will not set immediately, so you will have to hold the topiary for several minutes. Let the product dry.
Final decoration of the finished product
After the solution has dried, coat the top with a layer of PVA and place coffee beans on it.
Decorate the topiary as you like, there are no restrictions. I glued coffee beans to the pot and tied a satin bow on the trunk of the tree.
So our amazing tree of happiness is ready. You shouldn’t dream about happiness, take it and create it with your own hands. Such a tree will fill your home with the amazing aroma of coffee, make it more comfortable, and become an interesting addition to the decor.
Try it! Creative success to all!

After the glue has dried, apply paint to the base of the tree and begin making the trunk according to the instructions above.
Decorate the trunk with ribbons. Attach a loop of ribbon to the heart using glue, and then coffee beans. You can create a pattern of grains - it will look especially impressive against the background of plain paint.
The next step is to assemble the tree. To fix the barrel, use alabaster or a similar product. After completing the assembly, decorate the “Coffee Heart” topiary with ribbons.
Coffee topiary in the shape of a heart On a note! There are quite a few options for decorating and forming heart-shaped topiaries; study the photos of “trees of happiness” before you start creating them. Ready-made selections of beautiful photos will help you choose the most interesting option.
Small tree with a round crown
The simplest method for making such a craft is a small tree with a round crown.
To bring this idea to life you will need the following items:
- a foam ball for the base (it can be paper or filled with polyurethane foam);
- coffee beans;
- glue;
- wire or other device to imitate a tree trunk;
- a quickly hardening mixture - for example, alabaster;

Topiary coffee tree, photo How to make coffee topiary? Detailed step-by-step instructions for making a coffee topiary suggest starting with the crown. If you don’t have a light ball, make one from available materials. Cover the surface of the ball with grains.
Decorate the tube prepared for the trunk of the mini-tree (this can be a pencil or an unnecessary knitting needle) with tape, ribbons or string. In a container intended for installing a tree, prepare a quickly hardening composition and fix the trunk of the future topiary. Hold the barrel in the desired position until the mixture hardens.
After this, start decorating the bottom of the ball with grains. Glue them onto the curing compound in two layers. Fix the crown and trunk together using glue.
The finishing touch is decorating the tree with beads, bows and other decorative accessories.

Topiary made of coffee and coins
In addition to coffee beans, other accessories can be used to decorate ornamental trees. For example, you can make a topiary consisting of coffee and coins, complemented by lightning.
To bring this idea to life, prepare a spherical base by choosing a suitable lock.
Advice: If you are using foam rubber, start by covering the ball with a loose layer of cotton wool and tightening it with threads. This will ensure better gluing of the grains.
Cover the rounded crown of the tree with a layer of brown paint. After it has dried, attach the zipper (after unzipping it) to mark the place of imitation of scattered coins. Apply the coins with a heat gun - you should start from the center of the crown.
Having finished with the coins, glue the zipper: use heated glue for this.
Topiary made of coffee and coins Decorate the rest of the surface of the ball with coffee beans (two layers). But don't forget to leave room for the topiary trunk. Make a trunk, decorate it with ribbons and combine it with the crown.
Prepare a container to place the lucky tree. Make the container look attractive by wrapping it in paper. Cover the top of the container with grains. Using the hardening compound, fix the topiary and decorate it.
That's all the main secrets of making a mini-tree. Choose accessories based on the interior features of the room in which the topiary will be located.
The design may also depend on the specific occasion - if you are planning to give someone your creation.
Coffee topiary with lightning and coins Coffee flower tree
A great idea is to make a coffee topiary for the occasion of March 8, decorated with floral accessories, and give such a craft to someone close to you. These can be paper decorative elements, beads, beads, satin ribbons and even jewelry. A lucky tree with a floral design can be decorated with homemade roses, violets and other artificial flowers.
A coffee-flower topiary is created using conventional technology. Decorative elements in the form of flowers are glued to the crown at the final stage of work. The best option is to place them exclusively on one side.
If you want to make topiary with more intricate floral decorations, such as roses, first study workshops that teach you how to create mini-trees from glitter or satin ribbons and other techniques (for example, using the kanzashi technique).
Topiary made of coffee and flowers Topiary "Gentleman"
We bring to your attention another idea that is easy to implement in practice - a topiary tree with the beautiful name “Gentleman” made from coffee beans. It will take about three hours to make such a craft.
You can create a gentleman's topiary using a principle similar to the options described above. First make the head, then the body and legs. The body and legs are made of thick wire, which is wrapped with rope or twine to increase strength.
Important! The man must be stable, so he should be glued to a rigid, even base.
Having made a little man, decorate him using available materials: make a hat, a cane and other expressive details.
Topiary Gentleman from coffee floating bowl
A topiary in the form of a floating cup filled with coffee is a very original craft, which is not so easy to make on your own, but it’s worth a try, because the thing will turn out to be very unusual.
To create such a topiary you will need:
- coffee beans;
- wire;
- super-resistant glue;
- cup and saucer;
- acrylic-based paints in white and chocolate shades;
- fabric (napkin);
Bend the wire along the inner shape of the cup - and along the remaining length in an arc (in this place the imitation of flowing coffee will be recreated). Clean the fat from it using alcohol and attach it to the cup with superglue.
At the bottom of the topiary we will make a mini cake. Insulation will help give it porosity. Make five small round cake layers. Each subsequent layer should be smaller. Before attaching them together with glue, align the edges. Paint the cut areas with white and chocolate paint.
The cut with the missing piece should be porous. Decorate the remaining part with fabric using decoupage technology.
After the craft has dried, trim off the protruding edges, use a heated awl to make a hole in the cake and paint it brown to make it look more realistic.
Pull the wire through the notch and bend it at the end. Make a small niche at the bottom of the cake to disguise the bend in the wire.
Decorate the cake with coconut flakes applied over the acrylic coating. Make a snake-shaped pattern on the saucer using brown paint. Using glue, fix the bent tip of the wire on the saucer. Combine the saucer with the cake.
Decorate the part of the wire that is visible with a napkin. Glue coffee beans onto the frame, pour a little glue onto the cake, mix varnish and dye in equal proportions and cover with an imitation chocolate-coffee stream. You will create a realistic imitation of a cup of coffee with a saucer.

- a base for a tree, for example, a coffee cup.
How to make a coffee tree topiary Decorate the base by wrapping the cup with rope. Use the printed cardboard template of the American currency sign.
Important! The stencil should have three-dimensional slits, since when coffee seeds are glued, most of the noticeable bends will no longer be visible.
By placing the bamboo sticks on the cardboard, make sure that the configuration suits you. If there is such a need, fasten two cardboard templates together. You can wrap them with rope and coat them with glue. After this, cover the dollar with coffee beans, closing all the cavities.
Wrap four bamboo sticks with rope as well. In the place where they will contact the dollar, use coffee beans - they will hold the sign. Having finished with the top, prepare an alabaster mixture to secure the topiary. Place the tree at the base.
Take wooden skewers decorated with rope or coffee beans and glue them to the dollar. Wait for it to dry and decorate with accessories - the original gift is ready.

- pot
- wooden stick
- wire
- coffee beans
- ribbon, tulle, beads
Stages of work - manufacturing instructions.
- Preparing the ball (tree crown). Choose the shape for the future tree. It can be round, triangular, heart-shaped or consist of small balls. It is best to use polystyrene foam as a base. If this material is not available, you can make a ball yourself from cotton threads. Lubricate the round balloon with PVA and wrap it tightly with thread, while wetting each layer with glue. The product must be completely dry. The ball is pierced and removed from the middle of the resulting workpiece.
- If using a foam ball, wrap it with brown thread to create a rough surface for the coffee beans to stick well.
- Mark the area where the tree trunk will be so as not to fill it with grains.
- Glue the grains with the divided side to the ball, and the smooth side will remain on top. Use PVA.
- To prevent the grains from falling off, leave the ball to dry for 30-40 minutes after covering half the surface.
- When the first layer has completely dried (within several hours), you can begin the second. Now we fill the gaps with grains and glue them with the smooth side so that the division is on the outside.
- After the ball has dried, insert a wooden stick into the designated area for the barrel and cover the gaps with coffee beans.
- Plant the tree in the prepared pot. Instead of soil, take gypsum, diluted with cold water to a thick porridge. Leave the wood in plaster to dry overnight.
- Start decorating using ribbons, beads, tulle and others. If you want to get a tree with a curved structure, you can use wire as a trunk, which is best wrapped with green or brown thread.

What is topiary
Topiary is the name given to decorative trees made from available tools and natural materials. It is believed that this hand made technology dates back to the times of the Roman patricians, in whose gardens trees were pruned in a special way. The crowns had an unusual shape, usually reminiscent of statues and various decorative objects.
Over time, the technology changed, it was worked on in Renaissance monasteries, Dutch and English gardens and labyrinths. Today, topiary is a popular type of gift.
The coffee tree, bringing visual aesthetic pleasure, will appeal to many thanks to its delicate aroma. Even after processing, the grains smell amazing, creating an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility in the room. You can complement your decorative tree with various vintage trinkets.
A tree made from grains can look harmonious in the interior, regardless of style. This could be an apartment with an elegant classic style, a modern loft or minimalism. Topiary will look advantageous against a background of mint color and other shades of green. In any room you can place an original Christmas tree made from coffee beans. You can decorate an outdoor gazebo or free space on the veranda with similar decor.
Such crafts are not just an addition to the design of the room, but also a symbol of well-being, prosperity and happiness. A tree always symbolizes vitality, so topiary is perfect as a gift for both women and men.
Tools and materials
To make a coffee tree, prepare the following materials:
- Coffee beans. If possible, try to buy quality coffee. It is recommended to choose a product with evenly roasted grains that are relatively equal in size. They must be dried carefully. Coffee beans will need to be glued “flat”, but sometimes this is done by arranging individual grains in “scales”;
- The basis. Take a heart or a ball as a blank. Such a base can be ready-made or made independently using cardboard or foam;
- Threads. They are needed in almost all variations of creating crafts;
- Dye. This material will be required for application to the workpiece;
- Tube or stick, wire. They are necessary for the tree to have a trunk;
— Plaster or alabaster (preferably together with mixing utensils);
- Scissors;
— Container for the tree. There can be many different options here - from a homemade pot and bowl to store-bought pots and vases;
— Scotch tape (required double-sided);
- Additional decorations. The craft can be decorated with various beads, ribbons and bows, cloves, cinnamon sticks, etc.
Coffee tree - step by step instructions
There are many options for how you can make a similar craft with your own hands. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the instructions, which combine several techniques at once and differ from others in ease of implementation.
Stage No. 1. We work with the workpiece.
For a round topiary, use ready-made balls or make a ball with your own hands using foam plastic (it is better if wire is used for the trunk). You can also take the heart ready-made if you can find a suitable element, but it can also be cut from a piece of foam plastic.
The workpiece is pasted over with paper and wrapped with thread (knitting), preferably dark in color. Then it must be painted brown.
To make a symmetrical base for the crown of a heart-shaped tree, you will need cardboard (to serve as the base), as well as cotton wool (needed to create volume). However, there is another way to make a heart. Cut out figures of the same shape from cardboard and place a tube between them as a trunk. Two figures are glued together. Only after this you need to stick cotton pads onto the finished base, which will be needed for volume.
When the workpiece is wrapped with thread and painted in the desired color, it can be safely covered with glue and coffee beans. It is recommended to do this not in one layer, but in two, with the first being laid with the side with the flat surface inward, and the other - vice versa.
Stage No. 2. We design the rod.
The tube or wire that you choose as the trunk must be covered with sheets of tissue paper, ribbons or string, and then glued to the crown. If you want, you can bend the wire. In the case of a cardboard heart, you need to connect the parts a little earlier than for other blanks; only a small hole will be enough.
Stage No. 3. “Plant” a tree.
It is convenient to measure the required amount of solution using a container into which you insert the tree. Prepare a mixture of alabaster or gypsum and pour it into the pot. Then insert the topiary in the center and wait until the mass hardens. When everything is dry, cover the “soil” with an additional layer of coffee (can be replaced with shavings or sawdust, tea leaves).
Stage No. 4. Decorating the craft.
As decorations, you can use not only ribbons and beads, but also miniature figurines of animals, coarse fabric for a pot, star anise for decorating the crown, etc.

The making of such topiary from coffee in a master class is described. Let us consider in detail the process of making such an interesting decorative composition.
They take wire twenty centimeters long, retreat from the end by seven centimeters and roll this part into a ring. Four centimeters are measured from the other end of the wire and bent at this point.
The saucer is degreased using alcohol. Glue the wire to the degreased surface with instant glue, the side with the ring.
Inner surface cups also wipe with alcohol and glue it to the other side of the wire. First, find a support that will support the cup while the glue sets. The glue hardening process can take several days.
When the foam hardens, cut off the excess amount. Removing foam. The thickness of the coffee beans is also taken into account. We need to make the stream look harmonious.
To form a volumetric mounting jet, you can use modeling mass or masking tape. The latter is convenient for wrapping the wire frame.
After excess foam has been removed, the surface paint. If this is not done, the white base will appear between the coffee beans.

Base for topiary from a branch
To make the basis for a step-by-step master class on creating a coffee topiary, it is not at all necessary to take special components. A branch and old newspapers can be used.
From newspapers the ball is made. Branch Lubricated with glue and placed in it. The newspapers need to be pressed closer to it.
The surface of the ball is coated glue and wrapped around threads. The next layer of newspapers is wrapped around it, which is also wrapped with thread and coated with glue. The procedure is repeated until the desired size is obtained.
The finished crown on the trunk is installed in a container filled with gypsum. Gypsum You need to dilute it to the consistency of sour cream and pour it into the desired container. The trunk is installed there and kept as straight as possible until the plaster hardens.
