- - cardboard;
- - old unnecessary newspapers;
- - coffee beans;
- - scotch tape;
- - scissors;
- - threads;
- - brown acrylic paint;
- - cotton pads;

Instructions
Step 1
Take a piece of cardboard and draw a heart of the desired size on it with a pencil, then cut it out. Also, on such a material, you need to draw and cut out 4 more blanks in the form of a rectangle. They will play the role of a bird house.
Step 2
Once all the details are ready, you can start tinkering with this craft. First, you need to glue 4 cardboard rectangles to the center of the future coffee heart. To do this, simply grease the ends of the parts with glue and, accordingly, glue them so that a square is formed.
Step 3
After the glue has dried and the walls of the square are held fairly firmly, you can continue to work. Our next step will be the formation of volume in the craft. This, as everyone has probably guessed, must be done with the help of old unnecessary newspapers - from them you need to form a kind of "pads". The resulting parts should be glued to a cardboard base. Do everything very carefully, trying not to get the newspaper over the edges of your heart. If you have some space left between the rolls of paper, just make the "pads" of a size that will just fill in all the gaps.
Step 4
Now you need to slightly correct the shape of the future coffee heart with scotch tape. Just drag the glued newspaper rolls over to them. Thus, the entire craft should be wrapped. You don't need to wrap just one place - a bird's nest.
Step 5
Next, using cotton pads, you need to soften the craft. To do this, put them over the whole heart so as not to touch its center. So that the transitions between cotton pads are not noticeable, you should wrap the craft with threads.
Step 6
On the resulting workpiece, you need to apply brown acrylic paint with a brush. If you don't have one, a kitchen sponge will do just fine.
Step 7
After coloring the cardboard craft, cut out another heart to the exact same size. It should be glued to the back of the coffee heart.
Step 8
Time to decorate the bird's nest. To do this, take ice cream sticks and glue them along the edges of the square, having previously measured them and cut off the excess.
From toothpicks and the same sticks, make a window, which will then need to be attached to the hinges.
Step 9
It remains only to paste over the entire product with coffee beans, and then put the bird in its nest. The coffee heart is ready! If you want, you can decorate this craft with all kinds of ribbons and beads.
