How to make coffee grounds by hand
Coffee grounds are a kind of waste in our daily life, but they contain rich creativity and value. By cleverly using coffee grounds, we can make handicrafts with rich bean fragrance and unique charm. The following is a simple and easy production method.
Material preparation
First, we need to prepare the following materials:
- Fresh coffee grounds: Choose coffee grounds produced during the fresh grinding process to ensure its aroma and quality.
- Glue or adhesive: Choose glue or adhesive that is suitable for paper sticking and has good adhesion.
- Colored paper or paintbrushes: Choose colored paper or paintbrushes of different colors and textures according to your personal preference.
- Brush and cleaning cloth: used to apply glue and clean tool surfaces.
Step 1: Collect and process coffee grounds
First, we need to collect enough coffee grounds. You can collect the remaining grounds after each brewing of coffee, or you can ask the coffee shop for some fresh grounds.
Then, place the collected coffee grounds in a ventilated and dry place to dry. Make sure they are completely dry before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Create the basic shape
Prepare colored paper or paintbrushes and draw a basic shape on the paper according to your favorite shape and size. This shape can be a circle, square, heart, etc.
Then, use scissors to cut out the basic shape you drew and use a brush to apply glue evenly to cover the entire surface.
Step 3: Paste the coffee grounds
Once the glue is evenly applied, lightly sprinkle the previously dried and processed coffee grounds on the glue-covered surface, making sure every corner is fully covered.
Then, use a clean cloth to gently press the coffee grounds to make them stick more firmly to the basic shape. At the same time, you can also create different effects by adjusting the position and density of the coffee grounds.
Step 4: Apply a protective layer
When all the coffee grounds are glued, use a brush to evenly spread the glue over the entire surface. This step is to increase the stability and durability of the handicraft.
After waiting for the glue to dry completely, we can get a coffee grounds handicraft with rich bean aroma and unique charm.
