Do you want to know how to make these snowy pineapples? They are very simple.
Materials that we will need to make our snowy pineapples
- Pineapples. You can buy them or take them from the bush, as long as they are open and have released the seeds.
- White acrylic paint.
- Brush.
- Newspaper or similar to protect the work area.
- Pot with water.
- Brush.
Hands on craft
- The first thing we are going to do is clean the pineapples that we are going to use, for this we will brush them. We can also put them under the tap, but in that case we will have to wait for them to dry well.
- The next thing is to have a great time painting. We are going to take white acrylic paint and paint the pine cones as if the snow had fallen on them. It is necessary to see what position the pineapples would have on a surface, some will lie flat, others straight, others lopsided ... Once we know their natural position, we will begin to paint.
- we'll go depositing the paint leaving lumpsThis will give the effect of snow piling up at the ends of the cones.
- We will let it dry well to paint before starting to use the pineapples. Too we can give a second coat of paint once the first one dries. In this way we will get the coverage we want.
- In the case of wanting to use them as a Christmas ornament for the tree or garlands, we must take into account the position in which they will hang to paint them whiteBecause if they hang upside down from the base, this is how the snow must appear to have fallen on them.
And ready! It is a very simple craft to do, as well as versatile and that will give a special touch to our decoration.
I hope you cheer up and make these snowy pineapples.
