The idea that I bring you today takes double work: first, go pick pineapples in the forest and second, do the crafts. So you can't complain if you can't think of anything to do as a family next weekend.
I propose six different crafts to do with children using natural pineapples.
There are thousands of possibilities for Christmas crafts to make with pineapples. I will propose some to do with your children very simple and some a little more elaborate in case you want to do it for decorate the house for Christmas.
1. Colored pineapples to decorate for Christmas
In Decoesphere They propose a very simple craft with pineapples to decorate the house.We clean the pineapples well and paint them with colored paint, they can be cheerful, primary, metallic, red, white and green colors typical of Christmas ...
We can hang them from a garland, or place them directly on the furniture, or hang them with wires or wires of door handles and drawers, we can also place them on a tray, a fruit bowl or a large glass container as we see in the image, any of the options will be good and will give a different touch to the house for these days with the minimum expense.2. Christmas trees made with pineapples
In The Wool Acorn they teach us in a photo tutorial how to make these trees made with pineapples adorned with colored wool balls. This is one of the ones I like the most and one of the simplest. You only need a pineapple that is wide open, colored wool and foil for the base.
3. Pineapple garlands
Another tutorial to make wreaths with pineapples. In Twig & Thisle they teach us how to do it. If you want to make them a little more Christmas and colorful, you can paint them with spray paint of Christmas colors, such as red, green and white. Or if you want more discrete gold or silver, depending on the colors you have chosen this Christmas to decorate your home.
To do it pineapple wreath you need: pineapples, tape, hooks, scissors and pliers. You stick the hooks in the wide part of the pineapples and pass them through the previously cut tape according to the measure of where you want to hang it.4. Colored elves made with pineapples
With the smallest pineapples you have collected, clean colored pipes, a wooden ball and colored felt, you make these cute dolls.
To make the arms and legs you hook four pipe cleaners with a little tail. You put each one felt with shapes of gloves and shoes (with scissors you make the shapes) and you put them with the glue. The heads are also encollas and you paint the face with paint or permanent markers. You can also make the caps with felt or with a painted newspaper. In Pink and Green Mama you have photos of the step by step.
5. Dolls and angels with pineapples
These are very similar to elves but much easier to do. Only with clean pipes and some beads, you can make these elegant little angels to decorate your house for Christmas. In The Craft Art Kid they teach us how to do them.
6. More Christmas trees using pineapples
In Starr Kissed they show us how their son has made these beautiful trees that, seen like this, can even look like really decorated Christmas trees.
Let your son spray the pineapple with glue and while it is still wet, sprinkle it with glitter. To make the pot of the tree, you can use the water bottle caps also sprinkled with glitter on glue. Then you glue them to the base of the tree and let dry.You can add all the elements you want: sequins, jewelry strips (necklaces, plastic bracelets), or even candies.
