decorative bean balls
Scott had to travel for work last week and since I do not sleep well when he is gone I had lots of time for crafting and watching way too much HGTV. I am so thankful the days of him traveling 2-3 weeks a month are a thing of the past! Anyway, this bean ball project (tutorial here) kept me busy for awhile. I had everything on hand and kept glueing beans until I ran out of glue sticks. Mine are made of white navy beans and coffee beans. I think they look pretty cool. The glue is more noticeable in the picture than it is in person. I painted the styrofoam balls brown before I covered them with the coffee beans. After I restock my supply of gluesticks I will make a couple more to fill up the bowl.
I found the link to this project at One Pretty Thing. There is endless crafing inspiration at that site!

Very cute! I might have to try those when my husband travels b/c I know how you feel. It's like a caffeine high all night long.It is a great time to get crafts done and coupons clipped and watch those shows that he doesn't like:) My husband will be traveling up to your area later this week but I'm hoping it's just a day thing and not overnight:(

Those are awesome! That looks like a fun project and neat centerpiece! I'm not sure if Kev would approve of me using his coffee beans for a craft..He'd probably say..."How are we going to brew them now?"..I suppose I'd have to have plenty on hand.
Those are so cool, Darcy! But I simply cannot imagine doing three of those things, bean by bean. You have more patients than I. :)

Yours look wonderful! Great idea to use the coffee beans, I didn't think about that, but I love the rich deep color it has!
Thanks for finding my tutorial and giving it a try!
