Coffee storage tank

Such a decorated jar can be used not only for storing coffee and decorating the interior of the kitchen, but will also become a pleasant gift in the handmade style for loved ones. To make such a nice container from available tools is not difficult and does not take much time. All that is required is a minimum of material and a creative mood.

So we need:
1. Glass jar with a capacity of 0.5 or 1 liter.
2. Spray paint golden color.
3. Polymer glue.
4. Ground coffee.
5. Coffee beans.
6. Jute or linen twine.
7. Mother of pearl or golden nail polish.
8. Acrylic panel varnish.
9. PVA glue.
10. Brush.
11. Scissors.



Wash the jar thoroughly and degrease it with alcohol or other means so that the paint lies flat and holds well. Then shake the paint bottle and spray it onto the can from the outside from above and below, excluding the middle. While the paint dries, let's cover. It must be covered with a dense layer of PVA glue and lowered into ground coffee.




In order to save, you can use the grounds from the drunk coffee, which must be previously dried. The surface coating with ground coffee should be repeated until a uniform layer is reached through which the paint of the lid will not break through. Then we take the twine and glue around the circumference of the lid.



When the paint on the jar dries, it is necessary to cover the middle part with glue and roll it over the sprinkled coffee.




The cover of the coffee can should also be repeated several times to get a flat surface.



Then we twine the jar from the bottom and top with twine, while decorating the “tails”.



Glue coffee beans on the ends of the rope.



Now the surface of the can and the lid on which the coffee was applied is covered with a layer of acrylic varnish.




After a few hours, the varnish will dry and you can proceed to the next step - decorating with grains. In order for the grains to stick evenly, they must be calibrated before gluing. Selected coffee beans are lightly coated with pearl or golden varnish. We place the grains in the center of the lid in the shape of a flower and around the circumference of the twine, and glue them with polymer glue.



In the end, you should get such a lid.



Glue coffee beans to the jar just below the level of twine.



After the glue dries, after about an hour, the grains must be covered with a layer of acrylic varnish so that the composition fills all the gaps. Then the grains will hold well and will not peel off. That's all, the coffee can is ready.
