The pineapple craze on Glued To My Crafts continues!!! It’s one of my favorite, all time fruits {to eat and craft!}
As you may know, if you have been a long time follower of ours, I absolutely LOVE working with wooden crafts sticks when it comes to my kid craft tutorials. It has become an obsession for me… 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!}
