Well, friends, go ahead, read, remember, repeat and share information in in social networks. Surely you will help someone with choosing a gift.

Floating cup photo

Photos in any work are an integral part of the description, here too it’s impossible without it. After all, to repeat the work, descriptions are not always enough, and then step-by-step photographs or videos should come to the rescue.

I’ll show you the video below, but for now I suggest you admire the photos of the floating cups.

These are just a few options, there are many more, and I will introduce you to some of them today. I’ll tell you a few master classes, and also reveal secrets that you won’t find anywhere.

How to make a floating cup

For this master class, as for many others, first of all you will need a cup or mug with a plate. I don’t recommend taking a large plate; a regular saucer will do just fine. Although if you are making a composition with a waterfall, then you will need a slightly larger plate for a beautiful design.

This work cannot be done without glue, scissors, wire and a base component. I don’t call the cup the basis, but what you use to make it with, flowers or coffee, for example.

The principle of a master class is the same everywhere, they differ only in some subtleties and sizes. You can see all this in the photo under each detailed description.

DIY floating cup master class

Let's start, friends, and get to work. Now I will describe in detail how to make a floating cup with your own hands with flowers, coffee, coins, kanzashi and even a waterfall.

Floating cup with flowers

It seems that just recently I was showing off my floating mug on my website, talking about how to make it beautifully with my own hands, describing each step step by step and showing photos.

Today I will again touch on this topic and the cup with flowers, and if you want to read the master class in more detail, I recommend clicking.

To create a cup with flowers you will need

• Saucer
• Mug
• Gypsum
• A piece of cable
• Artificial flowers
• Glue
• Scissors

In fact, plaster can be replaced with hot glue, but it does not hold very tightly and you need a lot of it. This is up to your discretion, I’ll just share the photo and you can clearly see how the mug and saucer are held together.

So far there are no flowers, no kanzashi, no coffee with coins, just a skeleton. Please note that I connected two objects together with an electrical cable; many people use a regular kitchen fork, but I didn’t have an extra fork at home for creativity.

The next thing you need to do is divide the artificial flowers into separate buds or inflorescences and glue them one by one onto the cable. Here I recommend using a glue gun.

The order of gluing the flowers should be from top to bottom, this will make it easier for you to shape the cup with flowers. I added a few lemons to the flowers, and in the end I got this floating cup with flowers and two fruits.

The photo shows that the cup is very high, but they can be made much lower. For example, a cup of coffee is almost half the height.

Floating cup of coffee

A floating coffee mug also consists of a cup, saucer, glue, and naturally aromatic coffee beans.

The basic principle is the same. Only here we can glue our twig from the cup to the plate using hot glue, because the base of the dishes is not smooth. You can buy such a set of dishes at a decor store or make it yourself, although ordinary ceramic utensils are also suitable for a cup of coffee.

I strongly recommend that you do not wash coffee beans before work, as many do, in order to wash away supposed dust. This is neither true nor correct; there is no need to wash coffee. You can choose any variety; the cheaper, the better for your budget.

To save coffee, I advise you to wrap a rod or fork on which your beans will be attached with paper and then with tape, giving it a trapezoid or flared shape. But after that you can get on with your main work.

Take coffee beans and glue them onto the surface with the wide part to the tape, when you have covered the entire surface, then attach the second layer of coffee in a chaotic manner.

As a result, you should end up with a floating cup of coffee like the one in the photo, or something like this.

Floating cup of kanzashi

Kanzashi, this fabulous word carries brightness and festive mood. In fact, this technique came to us from Japan, it was invented by artisans. They turned pieces of silk fabric and ribbon into flowers using tongs and rice glue. Later, we adopted their skills, made changes and began creating jewelry, hairpins and other compositions.

The floating kanzashi cup is no exception, just look at this photo, all the work was done by hand, this is a master class.

The work is done exactly the same as an ordinary floating mug with flowers, which I wrote about at the very beginning, only here the flowers in this case are made by hand.

Floating cup video

And here is the long-awaited master class on creating a floating cup. In this video you can learn the technique and rules and discover something new for yourself.

If you have any questions after watching this video, you can ask them in the comments.

Floating fruit cup

And I made this cup of fruit, which you will now see in the photo, on the first day of spring. After an evening walk, inspiration suddenly struck me, and I decided to create such beauty.

For this master class I needed flowers and fruits, coffee and coins, I did not sculpt here. And instead of paper and tape, I used a clean sock. I wrapped it around the power cable and secured the edges with hot glue. Here's a photo for you.

The next thing I did was glue some white flowers in places, I had them left over from the previous cup.

This is the spring floating cup with flowers and fruits I got.

How do you like it, my friends?

Floating cup with coins

And this master class is suitable for people who believe in Feng Shui and other otherworldly forces. Usually such a cup with coins is given to attract money and finance.

You can use any coins for such a gift, as long as they are clean. Remember, I advised you not to wash the coffee beans, but here everything is just the opposite. Take warm water, breed in it detergent and rinse your coins there for the floating mug.

Then wait for them to dry and you can get down to business.

I recommend reducing the height of this composition a little and making it small, so that the distance from the cup to the plate is about 15 centimeters. This way, fewer coins will be spent, and the cup will look more luxurious.

The operating principle is the same as in previous flying mugs.

Floating cup waterfall

And this handmade waterfall cup should surprise many. Here we do not use a cable and a kitchen fork to connect a cup and a plate, but an ordinary plastic bottle.

We cut off the neck and bottom of the bottle, then divide the cylinder into 4 parts. Now we bring one of the parts to an open fire, let it be gas stove. And hold it at a distance of 30cm above the fire and adjust the ends of the plastic. Part of the bottle should warp and the ends should bend in opposite directions, like the English letter “Z”. Like in this photo.

Further work is the same as in all previous master classes. We attach our plastic to the cutlery not with plaster, but with hot glue, wait until everything is fixed, and then we take another glue, for example “dragon” or “pristige”.

For a waterfall you need transparent glue. We begin to slowly pour this glue over our piece of plastic from top to bottom. This process should take place in several stages at intervals of time. To apply each subsequent layer, the previous one must be dry.

Once you have a suitable shape, take hot glue in your hands and glue various shells, pebbles, decorative greenery and sea creatures to the waterfall.

This floating waterfall mug is perfect for a gift.

Friends, as you can see, there is nothing complicated. Today I told you and showed you a photo of how to make floating cups with your own hands with kanzashi flowers, coins, fruits, ordinary flowers, and even a master class of waterfall cups.

Share this beauty with your friends. Have a good mood.

With love, Nina Kuzmenko.

A unique souvenir created with your own hands will become the highlight of the interior of both a coquettishly decorated living room and a minimalist office. Topiary is one of the most popular hand-made souvenirs for decoration today.

Actually, topiary is a special way of cutting decorative tree or shrub. This is the original meaning of this word. But today most people know topiaries as interesting interior souvenirs in the form of trees. And they are made... Yes, from anything! Practically.

The “flying cup” (or floating) topiary is not just a decorative tree. This is, strictly speaking, not a tree at all. The composition is based on the ancient Feng Shui symbol of abundance. And not only coffee beans, but also coins, flowers, even jewelry - any things that symbolize prosperity, tranquility, and the integrity of a full life - can pour out of a cup in a stream.

“Flying cup”: what is it made of?

The first thing you need to create a fashionable “floating cup” topiary is a new stylish coffee or tea pair (that is, a cup and saucer). They are connected (excluding glue) by a strong wire or an ordinary fork.

To make topiary you will also need scissors, pliers and a heat gun with silicone rods. To make the waterfall of abundance resemble a real water stream in its naturalness, it is used polyurethane foam. On a saucer decorative elements are glued using foam pads.

Advice. Instead of a heat gun, you can use glue " Cold welding“- then the finished structure will become many times stronger.

In principle, anything can “pouring out” from a “flying cup”. It all depends on who the topiary is being made for, or simply on the mood and imagination of the author. Most often, craftswomen choose artificial flowers, coins, coffee beans, but they can also use moss, Christmas tree decorations or agave leaf fiber called sisal.

Imitation of coffee pouring from a mug is achieved by using natural coffee beans, cinnamon powder or acrylic paint. And to give the finished product a special charm, during the process of creating a souvenir, both the cup and the saucer can be wrapped with twine or covered with lace.

Instructions for creating a “floating” cup of coffee

Prepare the following tools and materials:

1. Pliers.
2. Glue gun.
3. A short piece of twine.
4. Strong and thick copper wire.
5. Glue moment.
6. Lace.
7. Floral brown tape.
8. Decoupage varnish.
9. Coffee beans.

Manufacturing process

• Prepare tea or coffee steam. Carefully remove the handle from the mug.
• The actual production of the souvenir begins. Cover the mug with twine, starting from the bottom from the inside. Roll the rope into a larger circle, and drop a drop of torque into the center of the bottom. Glue the twine. Continuing to add glue, wrap the entire cup from the inside of the bottom to its outer side. Turn your attention to the saucer and decorate it in the same way.
• Start creating a new handle for the cup to replace the broken one. Fold a pair of identical pieces of wire, put them together, wrap them with tape and, just like a ceramic pair, cover them with twine. Glue the new handle to the cup with a heat gun and leave to dry.
• To give your creation individual style, paste well outside cups with braid, lace or other delicate feminine materials (to contrast with rough twine). It is best to glue the tape this way: dark first wide strip, then a narrow white one. Glue coffee beans in random order onto the glued lace. It is also good to paint the outline of the saucer with a lace rim.
• Roll the wire into something like a tongue. The ends of the workpiece should touch the saucer, while the bent part will be located as close to the center of the cup as possible.
• Inspect the composition and adjust the flow bend.

• Pour hot glue (as much as needed) and glue the wire to the cup. When the mass has cooled and almost hardened, attach the ends of the wire to the saucer.
• Wrap the “coffee stream” with tape and stick the coffee beans in a thick layer in the direction from the cup to the saucer.
• Leave the topiary for a while for the glue to harden. When this happens, varnish the grains with a brush.

That's all! The floating cup with an ever-flowing waterfall of coffee is ready!

Attention! A flying cup with coffee beans can also serve as an original natural flavor air. But in order for it to exude the aroma of coffee, the beans should not be varnished.

Cake - addition to the cup

You can decorate a floating coffee cup with a piece of your own painted foam cake acrylic paints. Only the “cake” does not match the decor of the cup and saucer made of twine described above. Therefore, you need to choose: either one or the other.

Making such a cake is very simple. First you need to prepare polystyrene foam, paints, scissors and a mug. suitable size. Using a circle, draw five circles on the material and cut them out. Make a cutout on each of the circles as if you had already tasted the cake with a spoon. Assemble the layers of the cake and smooth out the indentation with a utility knife. Paint the foam until you get the desired color. When the paint dries, glue the layers of the cake together and glue them to the cup.

Work sequence

Making a floating cup with flowers with your own hands takes a minimum of time. This way you can make a great gift for your loved one in just a few hours. So, making such a souvenir includes performing the following tasks:

• The wire must be folded in the shape of the letter “L”.
• On the inside of the cup, use glue to attach a wire at one end. From the other - from above to the saucer.
• Glue each flower one by one from above to the wire.
• Place the flower arrangement on a saucer and secure it well.

There is nothing complicated here. Therefore, we immediately get to work. Where to start?

Detailed description of production

All necessary materials must be prepared in advance. It is better to prepare a beautiful porcelain service. The advantage of this material is its lightness. The cup and saucer must be thoroughly washed and dried well. They must be dry.

Detailed instructions (a DIY floating cup with flowers is easy to do) are presented below.

The wire prepared in advance must be bent with pliers in the shape of the letter “L”. The approximate distance between the saucer and the cup should be about 10 - 15 cm. A zigzag or curl should form at the end. It is necessary to attach the wire to the saucer and cup to ensure correct location designs. If necessary, give the wire the desired angle of inclination. We align the base of the wire so that it fits snugly against the wall of the cup and the bottom of the saucer.

Now we use a glue gun. First you need to glue the wire to the bottom of the saucer and wait until the glue has completely cooled. There is no need to skimp on glue, because the wire should literally sink into it. This way you guarantee the stability and reliability of the future product.

Now you can glue the wire to the cup. Remember that the glue must dry completely, that is, cool.

The remaining part of the wire must be wrapped with masking tape. Now you can glue the flowers, starting from the top.

When the space between the saucer and the cup is covered with flowers, you can free form Place the prepared material for decoration on a saucer. These flowers need to be glued well to the surface of the saucer.

The same procedure must be repeated with the cup. Here we carefully place all the flowers, preferably smaller ones, and secure them well.

Floating cup in kanzashi style

Of course, you can also use ready-made artificial flowers. But delicate flowers made with your own hands will make the craft more attractive and symbolic. How to make such decorative elements?

It is necessary to prepare multi-colored ribbons 5 cm wide, floral felt, beads and stamens. These materials are necessary to create various flowers with which the topiary will be decorated.

First you need to prepare the leaves. We cut them out of felt and ribbons.

To make 1 flower, you need to prepare 5 identical pieces of ribbon of the same color. Each petal is collected separately. Each segment must be bent into the shape of a triangle. After we bend it again, the triangular figure becomes even smaller. We repeat the procedure and carefully cut off the remaining edge. Then use a lighter to burn the cut area. The edges of the petal should be tightly fixed so that they stick to each other and do not fall apart.

The petal can be turned inside out reverse side while holding the bottom cut. So we prepare all the elements necessary to create a flower.

In fact, there are many technologies for making kanzashi flowers. Each needlewoman chooses a method that is convenient and suitable for her.

The center of the flower should be assembled from the stamens and beads. In the future, you need to glue all the petals to it one by one. You can also coat the beads with glue and sprinkle microsilver on top.

Decor

Don't forget that the product can be modified. After all, it would seem that the work is done. But needlewomen know that imagination has no limits. Therefore, you can safely use various decorative elements. For example, you can attach a butterfly, dragonfly, etc. next to flowers. Even on top of the mug, such elements will look appropriate.

Possible variations of making topiary

Many needlewomen know that topiary is a product made from scrap materials that can be found at home (pebbles, shells, artificial flowers, coins, etc.)

Today, to make such a topiary, you can use various materials and manufacturing techniques. Mostly topiaries are presented in the form of trees small size with a crown in the shape of a cone or ball. It is believed that this souvenir brings happiness to the home, so it is often given to loved ones. Particularly valuable are products made with my own hands, like a floating cup with kanzashi flowers. After all, the master puts his soul into such a product.

Today, hand-made floating cups with flowers or coffee are especially popular. This souvenir is often used as kitchen or dining room decor.

The increased interest is due to the moderate complexity of manufacturing, as well as beautiful design finished crafts that will delight your guests.

Considering the popularity of these creations, this article will be devoted to how to make a topiary flying cup with your own hands. Several creation options will be considered, each of which is suitable for a specific case.

Easter craft option

Based on the name, you can understand that this floating cup topiary is suitable for celebrating the most popular (after Christmas) religious holiday. You can make this craft for yourself (as a themed interior decoration) or for someone close to you. To work you will need the following set of tools and items:

• the actual cup (or at least a mug) and saucer;
• fork, pre-bent with pliers and a vice;
• tape (painting type is most suitable);
• pebbles (you can even take sea pebbles); they will be needed to create a balance for the craft;
• green sisal;
• glue gun;
• 30 plastic eggs (they can be purchased at a specialty store);
• small artificial roses;
• 2 decorative chickens;
• decorative branches with leaves.

The process of creating a flying Easter cup involves the following steps:

• stick adhesive tape onto the future connection point of the cup and saucer with the fork (it is needed to protect the surface of these elements from unnecessary damage);
• after that, place the tines of a fork on the surface of the saucer (on the part that is covered with tape);
• fasten the saucer and fork with a glue gun;
• after the glue has completely hardened, connect the fork handle and the cup (use enough glue to make the structure reliable);
• when the cup has set properly, place pebbles on the saucer, which will give the craft stability;
• Place sisal on top of the pebbles;
• wrap tape around the handle of the fork, and then cover it with sisal;
• start gluing the plastic testicles inside the cup (try to ensure that the testicles fit snugly together);
• Also cover the fork and saucer with plastic eggs;
• Decorate the edges of the craft with a twig;
• fill the spaces between the testicles with artificial roses;
• Glue two chickens at the base of the topiary “trunk”.

After completing the last step, the Easter version of the craft will be ready. Using a similar principle, you can make other original floating vases and topiary cups.

For example! You can use the same items, but instead of plastic eggs, decorate the craft with fabric flowers, and instead of chickens, stick hearts near the “trunk”. This will make the perfect anniversary or birthday gift for your significant other.

Coffee option

In fact, this version of the craft is similar in manufacturing principle to the previous creation. However, with this approach, you will get a topiary with aromatic coffee beans in the mug. To work you will need to have:

1. the actual coffee beans;
2. glue gun;
3. thick copper wire;
4. light brown varnish;
5. cup and saucer;
6. small pebbles;
7. satin ribbon.

When you make this coffee topiary flying cup with your own hands, the master class will require you to perform the following manipulations:

• pour the coffee beans into a separate unnecessary plate and cover them with varnish;
• While the varnish is drying, start decorating the frame of the future tree; using a glue gun, first connect the wire and the saucer, and then glue the cup (you will have to hold the structure by hand until the glue sets completely);
• after the frame has firmly adhered and the varnish has dried on the grains, begin gluing the first layer of grains with stripes down (try to place them as tightly as possible);
• after attaching the first layer, start gluing the second one, but with the stripes facing up (here also observe the maximum possible density of placement);
• if desired, glue the 3rd layer (also with stripes up);
• When the grains are completely set, tie the cup with a satin ribbon bow.

That's all! You have made a simple coffee topiary, the cup of which is in the air. It should be remembered that the principle of operation described in this master class is basic. Those. it should also be used when creating other more complex and fulfilling crafts. There are such popular complication options:

1. Craft with two cups - here you need to use two wires and load the saucer more carefully for balance.
2. A craft that looks like this: coffee beans are poured from a cup onto a piece of cake located on a saucer.

It is clear that the main complication here is the cake itself. To create such a masterpiece, you will need to make a plastic cake frame, make a hole in it for the wire, decorate it accordingly and glue it on top of a small pile of stones that will serve as a balance. Of course, you don’t have to bother and just cut out the outline of the foam cake, decorate it and glue it to the saucer.

On a note! In this case, you will have to think about additional weighting for the saucer so that the structure is completely stable.

Making a New Year's gift

Topiary cup and saucer bright decorations can be an excellent addition to the New Year's interior. To create such a masterpiece you will need:

• thick wire equipped with white insulation;
• a thread on which multi-colored beads are attached;
• aquarium stones;
• Christmas tree decorations of small and medium size;
• glue gun;
• silicone;
• decorative stems with leaves.

The master class described below explains how to make a topiary cup and saucer step by step with a photo so that you understand exactly how to perform specific manipulations and avoid significant mistakes. So, while working you will need to do the following:

• bend the wire in half;
• bend it so that it looks like a rustic wooden spoon;
• Bend the ends of the “spoon” back;
• using a glue gun, connect the two ends of the wire;
• Glue the bent ends of the wire to the mug (when performing this task, use enough glue so that the two components are securely fastened);
• wrap the wire with a thread with beads (while performing this action, fasten certain sections of the thread with the wire using a glue gun);
• melt the silicone and pour it into a saucer;
• properly fix the lower part of the frame in hot silicone; wait until the “foundation” has completely hardened;
• use glue to attach aquarium pebbles to the surface of the saucer;
• then decorate the base of the craft and its “trunk” with small Christmas decorations(When attaching toys, try not to press on them so as not to accidentally crush them and avoid injury);
• decorate the edges of the “trunk” with decorative stems and leaves;
• Place medium-sized Christmas tree decorations along the edges of the saucer.

After this, the New Year's topiary will be ready. You can also use additional decorative elements (angels, roses, etc.). The main thing is to follow the principle of fastening the frame. As for additional decoration, it all depends on your imagination.

Making a money cup

A money topiary with a mug and saucer is relatively easy to make. At least those who have mastered the creation of previous models will make such a masterpiece without any problems. So, for work you will need the following set of items and tools:

• souvenir coins (although you can use real penny coins if you wish, but before use they must be thoroughly rubbed until shiny);
• glue gun;
• cup and saucer;
• thick wire;
• double sided tape;
• cream-colored satin ribbon.

When making such a topiary, you will need to perform the following manipulations:

• first bend the wire in half;
• then, using a glue gun, connect it to the cup;
• connect the wire and the cup with the saucer in the same way;
• wrap the wire with double-sided tape, over which wrap a satin ribbon (for greater reliability, fasten the ends of the ribbon with glue);
• after that, start decorating the craft with coins - first decorate the inside of the cup, then the “trunk” of the craft, and finally decorate the surface of the saucer;
• Finish the topiary design with a satin ribbon bow tied to the cup.

In principle, this is where the creation of the money topiary ends. If necessary (if the cup is very massive), you can add additional weight to the saucer. Aquarium pebbles are suitable for this. As with the coffee version of the craft, you can create a money topiary with two floating cups. For this you will also need two strong wires and additional weighting.

It is absolutely simple and truly unique to make such a souvenir yourself, such as a made floating cup with an interesting decor and flowers, quickly and step by step with your own hands. Currently, a wide variety of and, sometimes, completely unusual and unexpected techniques and materials are increasingly used in needlework.

We want to pay especially close and detailed attention to this type of applied creativity such as topiary using a variety of bases and materials. Topiaries can have not only the form of a miniature beautiful tree. They can be designed as a floating cup with the most varied and unusual filling and decor.

An ordinary table cup and saucer can be used not only for its functional purpose. If you use your imagination and creativity, you can easily and simply make an extraordinary decorative topiary using these items. As a filler for such an unusual cup, you can use coins, fresh or artificial flowers, coffee beans, flowers using the kanzashi technique, and much, much more at your discretion and wishes.

A huge variety of materials and techniques are used to create decorative topiary. For the most part, topiaries are made in the form of small trees that have a spherical or cone-shaped shape. They are decorated with flowers, feathers, rhinestones, stones, cereals, leaves, pine cones and other decor that comes to your mind. It is believed that topiary is a “tree of happiness”, so it is customary to give them to loved ones.

We present to your attention detailed master class With step by step description actions and manipulations to make a floating cup with flowers.

We study a master class on making a floating cup with flowers with your own hands

Before you start making an unusual topiary with a coffee or tea cup, prepare all the tools and materials you need. So, to work you will need:

• A couple of items: a coffee or tea cup and saucer;
• Artificial flowers;
• Delicious sweets;
• Durable metal wire;
• Pink paper napkins;
• Stationery glue PVA;
• Brush;
• Double sided tape;
• Hot glue gun;
• Glue gun sticks;
• Scissors;
• Pliers;
• Decorative elements: beads, ribbons, rhinestones and so on.

After preparing all the necessary tools and materials, start making a floating cup.

Using pliers, separate the desired piece of metal wire. Bend the resulting piece into the shape of an avalanche or waterfall. Cover this entire structure with double-sided tape or medical adhesive tape.

Then place paper napkins on top of the wire base. Glue and coat the napkins with PVA glue to the thickness that you want to achieve in the end. Leave the entire structure to dry completely.

Once your entire wire and tissue paper design is completely dry, attach it to the cup and saucer. These elements must be glued and fixed using hot glue. In this case, the fixation will be reliable and durable.

Now you can begin the most creative and enjoyable process in making a floating cup - decorating. Take your chosen artificial flowers and use scissors to cut the flower heads from the stem. Using hot glue, attach the cut heads and leaves to the wire structure - the base. Choose the arrangement of buds and leaves according to your discretion and creative perception. Insert sweet and tasty candies between the flower bushes. You can also fix sweets quickly and easily with a drop of hot glue.

After you decorate the “pouring” contents of the cup, you can begin decorating the base itself. A cup of coffee or tea can be decorated with satin or grosgrain ribbon, butterflies, buds, ladybugs and others. Decorative additional elements cups are best matched to the floral components of the main composition according to color scheme. This way you can avoid sharp and catchy contrast in the finished composition.

Now you can take gold beads or bright rhinestones and glue them to flower petals or leaves.

Your floating cup is ready!
