Coffee beans are a very recognizable figure all over the world, as they have long been used in decorations, illustrations, promotional posters, even in fashion accessories such as clothes, and have recently appeared in tattoos. For us, lovers of coffee, the shape of coffee beans is, of course, even more loved!

Could you imagine we can make beautiful, handmade and dulcimer earrings from the coffee beans? By saying coffee beans, we mean it: by following the steps below, you can make earrings made of real coffee beans, not from their replicas of clay, plastic, wood or any other material. All you need is roasted coffee beans, a tool for handling metal wires, and some simple materials that we can easily get from stores that sell construction, craft and hobbies - and of course, plenty of taste and appetite for construction!

What will you need for handmade earrings with coffee beans?

2 coffee beans

2 beads of your choice

2 silver hooks

2 silver wires

2 silver earrings snaps

Shellac and alcohol varnish

Wire

How do you make your earrings?

• With a small drill or a sturdy needle, puncture the coffee beans. TIP: Select Arabica beans as they are bigger in size and more firm than Robusta. It is good to have enough beans available, because no matter how careful you are, it is certain that some beans will break.
• Stir the varnish with the alcohol, and with the help of a wire, dump the beans. Let them dry for twenty minutes and repeat for 3-5 times, depending on how intense we want the varnish. TIP: Varnish is necessary not only for appearance, but also improves the beans' strength.
• With a special tool, curve the ends of the silver wires, placing in the middle the beads of your choice. TIP: You can use colored beads (red, yellow and blue make nice color combinations) or even a pearl.
• Place the wire with the bead you made in the previous step in the silver clasp of the earring. If necessary, bend with the hardware tool to make the earrings more firm.
• Pass the silver hooks - rings from the coffee beans with special care, so that they do not break. Push the ring lightly with a small pliers in order to stabilize it.
• Hang the ring with the coffee bean on the bead wire, tightening if necessary. Your earring must consist of three pieces.

Handmade coffee bean earrings are extremely original, youthful and can be combined with almost any everyday look. All you need is a relative craftsmanship in the handling of tools, and while being easy to manufacture, they are also suitable for someone who makes his or her first steps in the world of handicraft. They are offered for many combinations, since we can change both the beads we use and the color of the varnish to cover the bean if we want to give them a different note. If we also have a girlfriend who really loves coffee, coffee bean earrings are a great gift, since we will not only have to do to make them, but they will also be literally unique.

Jewelry does not have to be always expensive and luxurious to be beautiful. Dare to use the precious coffee beans and for something other than espresso and shout everywhere your love for coffee!
