We have a lot of events coming up, including March 8 and Easter, and besides, everyone celebrates birthdays, so such a cup can be presented as a gift. Today I will tell you many options on how to make a steaming cup quickly, easily and for every taste.

A floating cup or mug, everyone calls this composition differently, there are even topiaries with flying mugs, but I haven’t gotten to them yet. Today I will show you many options for such cups with photographs and videos, and also provide detailed master class, after which you should also have a desire.

I am sure that such a composition of coffee, for example, or fruit, will not interfere with your kitchen and will add some zest to the interior. For good luck, you can make a floating mug from coins or cereals; these are also great for gifts.

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 like 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
• 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 electrical 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 and dilute it 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 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.

As soon as you succeed suitable shape, then we take hot glue in our 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.

Master - Ovchinnikova Yaroslava

Materials

1) tea or coffee pair (cup and saucer)

2) glue to connect the “spouting” structure with a bowl and saucer. It is better to use the universal Moment gel adhesive for ceramics, plastic or glass. An alternative can be any other adhesive designed to work with smooth surfaces. A glue gun is also used, but it is intended mainly for working with rough surfaces. There is a possibility that the cup will come off in the near future after gluing.

3) thick wire, or triple wires. You can use other flexible items, such as old aluminum forks or spoons, or a metal hanger.

superplastic) is a self-hardening thermoplastic. When heated, it becomes plastic and convenient for giving it the desired shape. When cooled, it becomes hard, elastic and durable.

5) painting scotch– they can replace superplastic

6), can also replace polymorphus. It resembles plasticine, but unlike it, it hardens well in air. Contains natural ingredients(cereal flour dough), therefore absolutely safe for children.

7) decoration items cups: coins, flowers, cones, feathers, candies, beads, buttons, ribbons and much, much more.

Cup assembly process

The process of creating a floating mug is not at all complicated, but there are several important nuances, which must be taken into account when creating it.

The main secret in creating a flying bowl is making the right choice tea pair. The cup and saucer should not be too heavy. If you take this condition into account, it will be easier to create a flying bowl!

We construct the base of the floating cup; this is the element that connects the saucer to the cup. To do this we take a wire required length. It is important to note that the distance between the bowl and saucer should be approximately two cups. With these parameters, the flying cup will look most balanced.

Inside the bowl we form a loop from the wire, the diameter of which should be 2-4 cm. This will help to achieve better fixation of the wire in the cup. We twist the second end of the wire into a flat spiral in two or three turns. This way we will get a kind of stand, which we will fix in the saucer.

The tilt radius of the resulting structure should not exceed 45 degrees, otherwise the structure will be unstable!

Polymorphus is the most best material when making a flying cup.

Take a piece of polymorphus and immerse it in hot water for 20 seconds. During this time, the material is converted into soft plastic.

With the resulting plastic, like plasticine, we stick to the base, giving the required form. If the plastic hardens before you finish the job, simply dip it back into hot water. The prepared base will completely harden within 15 minutes.

If you don’t have this material on hand, you can use modeling compound. An alternative to these two materials could be masking tape, which is simply wrapped around the wire base. Or you can wrap the wire with felt or other fabric, after coating it with glue.

An important aspect is to constantly try on the base on a saucer with a cup in order to spot any flaws in time!

You should pay special attention to the edge of your cup in the place where the structure will be attached!

In this place it is necessary to make a kind of step in the form of a support. This way the structure will hold much more securely.

When the base is ready, you can begin fixing it on the cup. Lubricate with glue all surfaces of the base in contact with the saucer and cup. Press firmly and hold for 3-5 minutes. Don't forget to glue a step to support the cup!

We fix the flying cup on soft objects in the desired direction and leave it in this position for 5 hours. During this time, the glue will dry well and securely fix the resulting floating bowl.

When the floating cup is well glued, you need to check how stable it is.

If the saucer is not able to hold the cup, then it is necessary to reduce the radius of the structure until it becomes stable.

The last stage of making a flying bowl is the most interesting and creative. Decorating a spill cup! Apply adhesive gel to decorative elements and glue it.

It is better to glue the large elements first, and glue the smaller ones last. This will hide small visible defects and gaps between elements.

After all the decorations are glued, you need to let the cup stand for 5 hours so that the glue dries.

The process of assembling a flying bowl is discussed in detail in the master class
