Create your own pineapple decor

I was redoing a section my craft room wall and really wanted a fun pineapple to sit on a shelf. And what’s a crafter to do…but DIY ONE! (head over and see if you can spot it!)

Here is what you need!

• FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam: egg
• FloraCraft Smooth Finish®  Paintable Coating
• FloraCraft® StyroCutter® Plus or FoamCutter®
•  FloraCraft® succulent picks
• Yellow paint from DecoArt
• Brown Paint from DecoArt
• Paintbrush
• Fine-Grit Sandpaper

You will want to make sure your egg and air plant pick are sized right and will look good together.

I took my cutter and sliced off the top (and rounded the edges a little bit) and then took off a little bit on the bottom so the pineapple will be able to stand without tipping over.

Then I just covered the whole egg with the smooth finish. This seals in the porous surface to make it paintable. After it dries I sanded off any rough edges.

 

I just pressed in some lines to give it the pineapple look. Since it’s smaller at the top than the bottom…the lines won’t be perfect but just try your best!

 

I took the brown paint and painted in all the grooves to give the pineapple some dimension.

Then covered it with yellow paint. 

After it was dry I just pushed the air plant into the top! 

I love how it turned out! Such a fun little pop of color in my craft room!
