Usually coffee stencils are round in shape and have a small handle. The base should be placed next to the mug, with the drawing placed in the middle. Next you need to turn it over, circle the cup and cut it out. You can make a small indent from the outline so that it is convenient to hold on to the stencil.

Our master class on coffee crafts offers a look at two main techniques for creating a tree and gives instructions on how to make a “coffee tree” craft to suit your taste. The “coffee tree” craft is the classic and most common version of topiary in coffee art.
Tools and materials:
- Coffee beans

First you need to paint the sphere and the future trunk of the craft brown and let it dry. Coffee beans need to be sorted into several groups, after weeding out the broken ones.
- Round
- Beautiful
- Regular
- Small
Beautiful beans are suitable for the most visible part of the crown of the coffee tree. The less noticeable lower parts of the crown are decorated with ordinary ones. Small ones can be used to cover grain gaps when they appear. Round ones are suitable for finishing the topiary pot itself.

Elite varieties of tea or coffee are usually chosen as a gift. But if the selected varieties are decorated in any of these ways, even inexpensive types will have a prestigious appearance.
We create a gift set “Tea Basket”
Crown
To design the crown, you can use one of the proposed methods.
A. According to this scheme, the use of assembly adhesive is more relevant. Squeeze glue onto the ball and let it spread over a small area of the ball. Sprinkle this place with grains and manually level them and carefully place them on the surface.
It is advisable to put something under your hands so that the coffee does not spill on the floor. The advantage of this method is that the glue, unlike hot melt glue, is not hot, which allows you to distribute the coffee beans more freely and slowly over the crown of the topiary. The grains will be laid out in the intended manner, but chaotically.
B. According to the second scheme, each grain is glued separately. Most often, the grains are arranged like a honeycomb. But you can also glue the coffee in strips, horizontally or vertically. This is done to combine light and dark tones in a composition.
If desired, the tree crown can be covered with a second layer of coffee if you don’t like the gaps between the grains. If you have such an idea, then, as before, glue the first layer with the indentation inward (bad beans will do), and the second indentation outward.
Leave the space near the hole undecorated.

Pour a little milk, it should mix with the coffee, and then move the pitcher with a smooth hand movement and draw. Don't expect to get the picture right right away.

Etching
Etching is considered a less popular method. To do this, you need to take the milk that you have already frothed and a cup of coffee.
Potty

To create artificial soil, dilute alabaster. To do this, pour water into the future pot. Pour it into a bucket or cup. Smoothly add alabaster, stirring regularly, until the consistency of thick sour cream.
Mix the alabaster and quickly pour it into the container, retreating a couple of centimeters from the edges. Place the tree in the center of the pot and hold it for a few minutes until the alabaster hardens. Leave the topiary for 24 hours until the “soil” is completely dry.
After drying, the base of the tree can be covered with moss or pasted over with coffee residue. You can also add glass pebbles, beans or pebbles.
