Continuing the theme of coffee interior elements, we suggest you make another decorative coffee figurine - “Well”. It looks very original in the interior, smells nice of coffee, and can be used as a desk stand for stationery.
Materials for making a decorative coffee figurine:
- sheet of cardboard
- plaster bandages (you can take a ready-made box)
- putty finish (if you use a ready-made box for the well ring, then putty is not needed)
- a small container for making a bucket, but you can just use cardboard
- small wooden slats, bamboo napkin or ice cream sticks
- coffee beans
- wire
- a small piece of fabric to decorate the inside and warp
- thin jute rope or twine
- scotch
- paints
Tools for making a stationery stand:
- tweezers
- metal scissors or wire cutters (for wire and wooden slats)
- pencil
- tassel
- ruler
- utility knife or scissors
- drill and thin drill bit (optional)
- compass
- threads
- water container
- matches or lighter.
I don’t indicate the sizes and quantities, everything is individual and depends on what materials you use and the desired size of the coffee figurine.
How to make a decorative coffee figurine “Well”
Making a well ring
You can take a ready-made box of the desired size and shape, cover it with wooden slats, paint it in the desired color, decorate it with rope and coffee beans.
But I wanted to work with plaster and make a decorative element to my taste. It's not as difficult as it might seem at first glance.
Draw and cut out a rectangle on cardboard. The size depends on how large a pen holder you need. The photo shows that I took the dimensions 7x25 cm.
We connect the rectangle into a pipe. Glue along the edge.
It is better to fix the paper pipe on some surface so that it does not deform when working with water and plaster.
Pour water into the container. We cut the plaster bandage into small ribbons.
Briefly dip the plaster strips into the water, and then paste them over the paper blank. We try to do this as evenly as possible, smoothing out unevenness with our fingers or a brush.
Let the plaster dry. After a few hours, remove the paper and leave the ring to dry (for about a day).
When the plaster is dry enough, apply putty. The putty can be applied either with a spatula or a brush. Draw the desired texture.
Leave the figure to dry for the time indicated on the putty packaging.
When the putty has hardened, coat the ring with paint.
To add antiquity and texture, the paint can be “aged.” To do this, just use a dry cloth to slightly absorb the wet paint applied to the figure.
When the paint dries, coat the top with varnish.
Let's start decorating the inside of the ring.
To cover the sides, we cut out a rectangle from cardboard, slightly smaller in size than we initially cut out for the ring itself.
Let's check if it fits well. If everything fits, cover it with fabric and decorate with coffee beans.
To cover the bottom, cut out two circles from cardboard. The diameter of the outer one should match the diameter of the well ring, the inner one should be slightly smaller (the difference depends on the thickness of the fabric that we will use in the design).
We decorate the outer circle with rope.
To do this, apply glue to it and wind the rope in a spiral, layer by layer.
We cover the circle that will be inside with fabric and decorate it with coffee beans.
We make a rim on top of the well ring.
To do this, draw a circle with a diameter equal to the ring itself, and inside a circle with a smaller diameter, for example 1-2 cm. Cut it out and wrap it with rope.
Glue the rope, glue coffee beans on top.
The result should be a “constructor” like this:
We assemble it into a single well ring, which will directly serve as a stand for the office. We carefully glue the parts together.
We decorate it using rope and coffee beans to suit your taste and imagination.
Decorative elements made from rope do not have to be made directly onto the figure. It is much more convenient to prepare them in advance and then glue them.
This is done like this: the shape you need is formed on the tape. The glue is applied on one side. Then you need to let the glue dry.
Peel off the rope pattern from the tape and glue it to the coffee figurine. Decorate the top with coffee beans.
Making a well roof
Small wooden slats, or popsicle sticks, or bamboo doily sticks
glue them into two identical blocks that will serve as roof slopes.
We connect the blocks together at an angle; this can be done using paper (replacing the roof ridge with it), or just glue. We paint the resulting roof in the color we need, varnish it, and decorate it with a pattern of rope and coffee beans.
Making a bucket
To make the bucket, I took an empty plastic medicine bottle. You can glue the cardboard base.
We cover the base with wooden slats, paint it in the desired color, varnish and decorate it. We make a handle from the wire, which we also cover with rope.
The main set of the well is ready.
Small details remain.
The stands that will hold the well cover are made from wooden slats. I used wooden disposable ones Chinese chopsticks. We measure the required length, cut it, wrap it with rope, which we glue firmly. We drill two small holes in the posts if we want the gate to rotate, which is not at all necessary.
Making a well gate
We cut out a small rectangular strip from cardboard, glue it along the edge into a pipe and glue it with wooden slats. We also cut out circles from cardboard with a diameter a couple of millimeters larger than the pipe. We glue the circles with slats, and in the center we make small holes for the wire.
We connect the parts and get a well gate. We paint it, varnish it, and decorate the edges with rope.
All that remains is to make the handle.
I wanted it to be in the form of a wheel. To do this, I braided the wire with rope. The rope was securely fixed with glue.
Then I connected it into a circle, made axles with wire and rope and decorated it with coffee beans.
To make it more convenient to turn the wheel, I glued a small wooden handle to it. The handle was painted and varnished.
All the parts for the coffee figurine are ready, all that remains is to assemble them together and securely fix them with glue.

Candles decorated with coffee.
Perhaps the most popular use of coffee beans is to decorate candles. Moreover, most often, ready-made candles are simply placed in a glass filled with coffee. Personally, I like solid candles in a glass cup with coffee beans in the bottom. To make such a candle you will need: wax, a mold, coffee beans and a wick. Pour into the bottom of the mold a small amount of coffee beans, install the wick (take a match, tie the wick to it and lower it into a glass, as in the diagram below), pour in the melted wax.
Scheme for convenient wick fixation.
We wait for the wax to cool completely, cut off the match holding the wick and admire the result. By the way, to make a homemade candle, you can buy a very ordinary candle, cut it into small pieces and melt in a water bath; in addition, the resulting wax can be colored with all kinds of dyes.
