VOLUMETRIC COFFEE HEART IN A POT

Send

Presenting a perfume or a book on Valentine's Day is a little silly, because it is a holiday with a dramatic story telling about true sincere love. Of course, the gift should be unusual.
Undoubtedly, at the outlets you can find something suitable, but it is much more pleasant to make a gift to a loved one with your own hands. Then why not give a coffee heart? Making it will take time, effort and patience, but the end result will be worth it. A happy face of a loved one or loved one will only prove to you that you did not try in vain.
So we need:
1) a sheet of white paper;
2) a pencil;
3) scissors;
4) stationery knife;
5) brown fabric;
6) cardboard;
7) a gun for hot glue;
8) hot glue (several rods);
9) transparent super-glue;
10) a small pot;
11) coffee beans;
12) a small stick - if it is crooked, it’s even more interesting;
13) several strips of foam rubber;
14) gypsum or cement.

Step 1. From a white sheet, cut out the heart of the desired size.

Step 2. Apply the template to the cardboard and draw a pencil around it.

Step 3. With a stationery knife, cut out the heart along the contour.

Step 4. Now carefully cut out the inside. Note: you need to cut it out in a hurry, since cardboard can not be cut much.

Step 5. We heat the gun with hot glue and smear the cardboard template in pieces.

Step 6. Immediately glue the foam, but leave the tip not glued. Note: the glue cools quickly, so you need to finish the job in a short time.

Step 7. Take the selected stick and glue it to the tip of the heart, and then glue the foam.

Step 8. For reliability, we tie the entire structure with a rope. But if you feel that the stick is holding securely, then this is not necessary.

Step 9. Cut off 2 strips of brown fabric and wrap the whole heart, smearing with super-glue.

Step 10. The time has come for coffee: we take the grains and use the glue gun to glue the external and internal contours.

Step 11. Then we glue the entire front part, and then the back. Note: when the whole heart is pasted, we also cover the empty spaces with coffee beans to make a second layer.

Step 12. When our heart is fully prepared, we set it aside for a while and prepare a pot. To do this, we need the pot itself and gypsum (cement).

Step 13. Pour a full pot of gypsum and breed with cold water. We mix everything until a homogeneous mass.

Step 14. Insert the heart into the pot in the desired position for us and hold it for about five minutes so that the gypsum hardens on the trunk.

Step 15. Decorate the pot and the heart. I used floristic hay and red sisal, and you can use whatever you want. Wake up your imagination!

Our coffee heart is ready. When you give a gift, do not forget to add the three main words of this holiday, because it is they who set its atmosphere.
