To make an Air Plant Holder Pineapple Craft:

You will need:

• 2 small (1.75″) clay pots
• E6000 adhesive
• Yellow acrylic paint
• 1″ flat brush
• Gold acrylic paint and small round paintbrush
• Small flower
• Doll sunglasses
• Air plant

Instructions:

1. Paint both pots yellow, . Use 2-3 coats as needed to cover pot completely. Use the darker color on the last coat for the smaller ends to add dimension .
2. Glue pot rims together and let dry according to manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Use gold paint to make /\ shape on sides of yellow pots. Let dry completely. (note: I used Clearsnap Smooch for this project, which is now discontinued. You can use gold paint and a small brush instead.)
4. Glue sunglasses and flower in place as shown in photo.
5. Add air plant to hole in top of pineapple air plant holder.

This sweet pineapple decoration is the perfect accent for that spot that needs a bright pop of summer color.  Love tropical decor and stationery?  You can find pineapple pillows and notecards, along with more tropical themed items at Carla Schauer Designs on Etsy.
