Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to see how make this ornament in the shape of a Christmas tree, just using a pineapple and acrylic paint.
Do you want to know how you can do it?
Materials that we will need to make our Christmas tree with a pineapple
- Pineapples, as many as trees you want to make. You can buy them or take them from the bush as long as they are open and do not have the seeds.
- Green acrylic paint of various colors, and paint of those colors that we want for the ornaments.
- Brush.
- Jar or glass of water.
- Brush.
Hands on craft
- The first step is clean the pineapples well, For this we can brush them dry or put them under the tap, in the latter case we must let them dry well before we can paint them. We will choose those pineapples that are straight when putting them on a surface.
- We will start paint the tree green, For this, it does not need to be completely covered, since the trees are also brown like the color of pineapple. We will paint first with a shade of green and then with another shade on top of the first to make a gradient and make the final green look better.
- Once the green paint begins to dry we can start putting the balls on the tree. To do this, it is as simple as taking the paint well with the brush and depositing it on the end of each scale of the pineapple. We can start with a color like red, then move on to another color like blue and so on until we finish putting a colored ball on each scale.
- We will let it dry well and we can put it where we want. Another option is to put the pineapple in a small pot that will serve as a base.
And ready! Decorate!
I hope you cheer up and make this pineapple tree.
