Ah, sweet summertime. There are plenty of things to love, from the warm weather to the delicious food. We especially love juicy, sweet pineapple – a refreshing snack to beat the heat.
In honor of our August Charms of the Month promotion ($5 off the Pineapple bangle and $3 off the Pineapple Chain Station charm), check out this simple DIY for creating Painted Pineapples – the perfect centerpiece…or “wherever” piece!
Materials
• Pineapples
• Acrylic paints
• Foam brushes
• Paint brushes
• Craft paper
• Plastic cups
Directions
1. Place a large piece of craft paper on desired surface and put all materials on top. This will protect the surface and also give you a place to dab brushes, wipe excess paint, etc.
2. Squeeze various colors of paint into plastic cups. Feel free to blend two colors to create a custom hue!
3. Hold the pineapple steady and use a foam brush to cover the leaves with paint, creating a solid base coat.
4. Use a paint brush to reach all nooks and crannies, making sure the leaves are completely covered.
5. Let dry before displaying at your summer soirée.
