DIY Pineapple Candle Holder Materials:

● Any Wine Glass
● Paint Brushes #8 and #2 Flat Tip
● Martha Stewart Crafts Satin Paints Colors used: Dark Green, Bright Green, Light Yellow, Bright Yellow, and Black
● Small Easel or Paper Plate
● Tea light or Votive Candle. Flameless Candles would work really well!

DIY Pineapple Candle Holder Directions:

● Squeeze a small puddle of bright yellow and dark green paint on a small easel or paper plate.
● With a #8 paint brush, paint the bowl and inside of your wine glass with bright yellow paint and let dry (use your hair dryer for quicker dry time).
● Paint the stem and base of your wine glass with your dark green paint. ● Allow to dry.
● Once your glass is dry, paint on a second coat of each color repeating the steps above.
● Allow to dry completely.

● Squeeze a small puddle of light yellow and bright green paint on a small easel or paper plate.
● Now use your lighter yellow paint to paint vertical stripes onto your bright yellow bowl to add a little dimension to the pineapple.
● Use your bright green paint to paint stripes onto your stem.
● Allow to dry.

● Squeeze a small puddle of black paint on a small easel or paper plate.
● Using black paint and a #2 paint brush, paint diagonal lines crisscrossing each other on the yellow globe of the wine glass over the dried yellow paints.
● Now use the end of your paint brush to dip in your black paint and in the center of each quadrilateral that was made with the black crisscrosses (basically a black dot in the middle of each quadrilateral).
● Allow to dry.

● Once your glass is dry, place a votive candle on the base of the wine glass and display.

This is one easy craft to make! Use more than one wine glass, staggering sizes and heights, to make a beautiful centerpiece you can display year-round. Two pineapple wine glasses would look great on a mantel. These are simply adorable, and definitely attract attention.
