How to make:

1. With scissors in a plastic ball gently make one little hole, where a little later we insert the "trunk" of our tree.

3. With a rubber band for money to fix the thread of bast at one end of the branch. Lubricates thread universal glue and spiral the paste future "trunk" thread. The other end of the branch again fix thread cash with a rubber band and insert "trunk" in the ball, which will play the role of the crown.





4. Using a universal adhesive paste ball of brown thread, to greatly simplify and accelerate the process of gluing the coffee beans. For pasting the ball you can also use strands from the brush to paint, but thread is much better and easier.

5. Now start wrapping the balloon with the first layer of coffee beans. For this we need transparent super-glue. Grains preferably stick in a different order – borodachi then down, then up. Glue is applied directly on each grain. Use super-glue should be very carefully, because it leaves a dark bean with white spots, quickly adhered tightly to the hands and has a strong odor, so "grow" your tree of happiness, preferably in a well ventilated area.

Then grease the bottom of a universal glue and put on the prepared urine. Protruding over the edge of the bottom of the thread cut.





8. Now cut the bass from the brush so that it was 3 cm longer than the height of the glass. On the lateral surface of the glass, apply all-purpose adhesive, 2.5-3 cm before reaching the top, and gradually a glass paste prepared by the bast. Glued the glass is banded at the bottom with twine and cut the excess edges. Trim the ends and top to the threads above the edge of the Cup approximately 2 cm.













9. Using the universal glue long strands of bast of the paste in a circle the funnel and screw it in the trunk of a tree.









10. In the glass pours the sand. Instead of sand you can use foam or plaster. Snips carefully move aside the top "fringe" and put on a glass funnel with the barrel.









11. The upper part of the Cup tied with twine and, if necessary, trim the top edge.





12. A few coffee beans thrown by the trunk. They will associate with fallen leaves. As a "ground cover" at the base of trees you can also use moss. On the crown you can put a cute butterfly or ladybug.
