DIY Spring Pineapple Wreath

It’s hard to believe we are 3 months into 2018, but on the bright side, that means spring time vibes and I AM READY! Last week I shared my spring tablescape with you, which featured my current springtime obsession of pineapples. And this week I am featuring yet another pineapple in a fun, DIY wreath. It was so easy, and I am going to show you how to make your own! I even made a video for you, so be sure to check it out at the end of the post!A DIY project showing a no-sew pineapple wreath. The top image displays materials: a wooden pineapple shape, wreath form, ribbon, and paint. The bottom image shows the finished wreath with a chevron pattern in black, yellow, and orange colors.

I made this wreath very similarly to how I made my Faux Fur Christmas wreath. There was no sewing or power tools involved, not even a hot glue gun! I’m telling you, it is simple. I chose a pineapple as the centerpiece of my wreath because I wanted it to go with my spring/summer doormat, but you could use something else if pineapples are not your jam. Doormat featuring three pineapples in red, pink, and yellow with unique patterns on each, set against a black and white striped background.To make this wreath you will need the following items.

Ribbon
Styrofoam Wreath
Straight Pins
Scissors
Wood Pineapple
Craft Paint
Paint Brush
Fishing Line

And don’t forget, to use your coupons at JoAnn and Hobby Lobby to save even more money!A wooden pineapple cutout with chevron patterns, a white foam wreath, a paint palette, a small paintbrush, and a spool of black and white striped ribbon are arranged on a dark surface.

Step 1 – Use 3 straight pins to attach ribbon to Styrofoam wreath form. A foam ring with black and white ribbon partially wrapped around it. A container of sewing pins is nearby on a dark surface. One pin is placed separately next to the container.

Then tightly wrap the ribbon around the wreath form.  A crafting wreath covered in black and white striped fabric rests on a dark surface. Beside it are a pair of beige-handled scissors and a spool of matching black and white striped ribbon.

I needed two spools to cover my 16 inch form. When I got to the end of the first spool, I used 3 more straight pins secure the end of the ribbon. Then I overlapped it with the start of the next spool to hide my pins. Make sure your pins are all on the back side of the wreath so they are not seen.

A pair of scissors and a small container of pins are next to it. The wreath is partially wrapped with a loose ribbon.

Step 2 – Paint the pineapple. I wanted a colorful pineapple to go with my doormat, but I could not find a pre-finished pineapple in the colors I wanted, so I decided to paint this one I snagged at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. This step is totally optional. This is what it would have looked like if I had not painted it.  A wreath featuring a wooden pineapple shape with zigzag and triangular patterns. The wreath base is wrapped in black and white striped fabric, resting on a dark surface.

I mixed my own colors with the basic craft paints I already had. First, I added some yellow to the chevron stripe that was previously white. A wooden pineapple-shaped board with geometric patterns is partially painted yellow. A paintbrush with yellow paint and a palette sit nearby on a black plastic-covered surface.

Then I painted the brown stripe a coral pink color. I had to do multiple coats to cover the brown. A wooden pineapple-shaped cutout lies on a table, partially painted with yellow and orange zigzag patterns. A paint palette with a brush and paint blobs is next to it. The table is covered with a black protective sheet.

I then outlined the top of the pineapple in black and painted the triangles to match.

Lastly, I painted the middle stripe an avocado lime green. If you like this color, I would recommend starting with yellow and adding green and white. I first tried to make it by adding yellow and white to green, and it was just too green. Wooden pineapple-shaped craft painted with zigzag patterns in yellow, orange, and green. A paint palette with various colors and brushes lies nearby on a black plastic surface. Five bottles of acrylic paint in red, orange, yellow, green, and black are lined up on a table.

Step 3 – Attach the pineapple to the wreath. Once the paint was completely dry, I positioned the pineapple on the wreath. A decorative wreath featuring a wooden pineapple with zigzag and triangle patterns in yellow, red, and black, wrapped around with black and white striped cloth, displayed on a dark wooden surface.I tied fishing line to the back of the pineapple on the picture mounting hardware it came with. A striped black and white circle, spool of wire, scissors, and a wooden pineapple cutout with a hook are arranged on a dark surface.

I looped the line around the wreath and tied it in a knot.

Step 4 – Add ribbon to hang wreath. I used some leftover black ribbon I had on hand. I strung the ribbon around the wreath, through the picture hanger and tied it in a knot. This covered the fishing line I used to attach the pineapple.  A close-up of a wreath wrapped in black and white striped fabric. A black ribbon is tied around it, forming a bow. The background is a neutral, textured surface.

Then I cut a second piece of ribbon and looped it under the first piece of ribbon to act as the hanger for the wreath. You will want to measure this to be the appropriate hanging length before cutting and tying it. A black and white striped wreath with a black ribbon is displayed on a wooden stand. The wreath is placed on a dark, reflective surface.

Step 5 – Hang wreath. I chose to hang mine inside for now because we live in Colorado and almost every year we get snow in May. Despite the fact it has been in the sixties, I know, winter is not over. I do plan to hang it outside once I can be more confident we won’t be getting anymore snow 🙂 A decorative wreath on a black door features a wooden pineapple with colorful zigzag patterns in yellow, red, and green.

See! Wasn’t that easy!? No sewing, no gluing, and no power tools! Heck, you don’t even have to paint it if you don’t want to! A door wreath featuring a large wooden pineapple with zigzag patterns in yellow, red, and black.
