Unique Craft Ideas for Coffee Beans

Have you ever given any thought to some of the things you can make with coffee beans? The staff at Unity Koffee has found and heard of many great ideas, and here are some of our favorites:

Crafts for the kids

We’ve recently discovered a great idea for flavored coffee beans, which was a bean bag. It’s simple to make, as all it calls for is filling a piece of scrap fabric with coffee beans. Another simple idea is to make a noise maker by filling a can with beans, and sealing it up with a piece of plastic. These two simple crafts for children cost little to no money, and will result in much entertainment.

Home décor

Using coffee beans to make Christmas ornaments has become commonplace. One of the most popular ways is to paint a Styrofoam ball dark brown and glue to it rows of coffee beans until completely covered. Another great piece of décor, and one that will add a great smell to your home, is to stick rows of coffee beans to a candle.

Artwork

This can be enjoyed by kids or adults. Find cheap pieces of canvas and simply hot glue to them the beans. You can create virtually any scene you want. However, if this is something you will do with the kids, make sure they are careful around the glue gun and that it’s not used without your assistance.

Jewelry

This is one for the hardcore coffee fan. Get some bead making kits or tools and use the beans instead of the beads. Most will allow you to create any sort of combination, so inject your style when making a coffee bean necklace or set of earrings. These types of jewelry also smell better than other accessories.

Wedding favors

If you’re soon to celebrate the biggest day of your life, do it with a cup of joe … or bag of beans. Coffee beans make for great wedding favors, as they’re unique, easy to make and are inexpensive. Simply take the beans and put them into small bags, and adorn them with whatever pattern you desire.

A Good Cup of Coffee Means Good Health

Drinking coffee and tea isn’t just a good way to wake up, but a great way to keep in good health. Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health found drinking coffee helps greatly in warding off prostate cancer, AsiaOne Health reported today. According to AsiaOne:

Men who drank six or more cups per day had a 60 per cent lower risk of developing the most lethal type of prostate cancer and a 20 per cent lower risk of forming any type of prostate cancer compared to men who did not drink coffee, it said.
 Even just one to three cups per day was linked to a 30 per cent lower risk of developing lethal prostate cancer.

The health benefits of coffee have been long known. Besides warding off coffee risks, premium coffee drinkers are:

• Less likely to have Type 2 Diabetes, Parkinson’s disease and dementia
• Less susceptible to certain cancers, heart rhythm problems and strokes
• More unlikely to suffer symptomatic gallstone disease
• More likely to have better short term recall
• Reported to suffer from cardiovascular disease

So, be sure to drink up. If you’re looking for great decaf coffee or coffee beans in Wisconsin, Illinois or Minnesota, give Unity Koffee a try by visiting us at www.UnityKoffee.com.
