How to make a coffee-scented Christmas tree

You have to admit, the New Year holidays have their own special scents and sounds. These are tangerines, chocolate, the creak of snow, the cheerful noise from the neighbors. And, of course, the scent of pine.

But who said the scent of coffee wouldn't fit into this wonderful atmosphere?

Let's make a Christmas tree from coffee beans, so its aroma adds an original note to the overall festive composition.

## What you'll need:

• a foam cone or sturdy cardboard;
• sturdy wire 3-5 mm in diameter;
• jute twine;
• hot glue gun;
• some alabaster;
• a small jar for the tree pot;
• a piece of burlap;
• coffee beans;
• decorative moss;
• decorations for the tree.

How to make

Insert the wire into the foam cone, piercing it vertically all the way through. You can pre-pierce it, for example, with a knitting needle. If your wire is thin, bend it in half.

Coating the cone with glue, tightly wrap jute twine around it. Secure the ends of the twine well.

Then wrap the twine around both sections of the wire – below and above the tree. The lower section, i.e., the tree trunk, can be wrapped in two layers to make it thicker.

Now start gluing the coffee beans, beginning at the bottom. Cover the entire surface of the cone with beans.

Wrap the jar with burlap. Tuck the ends of the burlap inside the jar. First, spread glue along its upper edge so the burlap holds tightly.

Fill the jar with alabaster mixed with water, set the tree in place. Let the alabaster set slightly, then lay the moss. Decorate the jar with a cord, tying it into bows.

Decorate the tree with hanging ornaments and small toys.
