The pineapple craze on Glued To My Crafts continues!!! It’s one of my favorite, all time fruits!

As you may know, I LOVE working with crafts sticks when it comes to my kid craft tutorials. It’s kinda my obsession, right after sharing my unique paper plate tutorials.

So anyways – these Craft Stick Pineapple Friends are really easy for kids {and adults} and involve only a few supplies & easy to follow steps. Plus they make for awesome party decorations and even puppet play {my favorite!}

On that note – I’ll let you get to making your paper and craft stick pineapple creations! Find all the details you need to know in the full tutorial below! Happy crafting my friends and I’ll see you again next time for another kid craft tutorial! Don’t forget to join us on Facebook so you never miss a new post from us!

PAIR YOUR PINEAPPLE CRAFT WITH OUR —> Paper Plate Pineapple

Pineapple Friends Craft Supplies:

* Jumbo Popsicle Sticks {8 per pineapple}
* School Glue
* Yellow Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Paper Plate
* Paper Craft Scissors
* Green Colored Cardstock
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Wiggle Eye Stickers {two per pineapple}

Directions:

* First glue your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence. You will want to lay 7 next to each other and follow that up with the remaining two, the other direction to make the pineapple shape.
* Set aside your newly made shape to let it dry completely.
* Once dry enough, you are ready for paint.
* Go ahead and squirt the yellow craft paint on the paper plate.
* Use a paint brush to paint your popsicle stick pineapple shape completely yellow.
* When done painting, set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
* Now grab your green cardstock, marker and scissors.
* Trace your hand on the green cardstock and trim out the design for on top of the pineapple.
* To finish off your Popsicle Stick Pineapple – glue the handprint cutout to the back of the painted popsicle stick shape and add on the wiggle eyes to the front.
* Then take your black Sharpie marker and draw on a smile & several “x’s” all over to complete the look.
* Then display your creative pineapple shaped piece proudly for all to see!
