DIY Coffee Bean Ornament

 1084158_coffee___1

Save On Crafts has a really cool DIY Christmas Ornament project involving–you guessed it–coffee beans!

The required materials are:

Styrofoam Ball–any size, as long as you’re prepared to cover it!
Acrylic paint in dark brown
Glossy acrylic sealer
Whole roasted coffee beans, enough to cover the ball
1-1/2″ ribbon, at least 1/2 yard in any color you’d like (red or green , perhaps?)
Tassel and cord in matching color
Metal ornament cap with wire hanger (easiest to get from any ornament you already have on hand)
Small paintbrush
Rags or paper towels
Craft glue
Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks
Scissors

Most of the materials, if not all, can be found at your local craft or fabric store.
