MY DIY | Neon Pineapple Airplant Holder
DIY PROJECT, Home DIY
Pineapples are having a moment, and I am SO on board with it! They are ridiculously cute, they are delicious, and if you show up to a party with one, people are instantly happy. The studio is filling up with airplants, so we got to creating some new holders for them. How perfect are the airplants as pineapple toppers! Kinda the cutest, right? This time around I used air dry clay, making this a super simple project, but I see potential for a cement or ceramic version, right? Steps and supplies after the break…
Get all the supplies in a DIY KIT HERE!
What You Need:
Air Dry Clay
Cutting Knife
Paint
Paint Brush
Air Plant
What You Do:
Step 1: Remove the clay from its package and cut it into two equal squares down the middle.
Step 2: Press your pinky finger into the top of one of the pieces of clay, making sure that you do not poke a hole through the side. Continue to gently mold a hole until you have an opening large enough to fit an air plant.
Step 3: Round the edges of the clay square to create an oval shape.
Step 4: Lightly press the bottom of the clay against a flat surface so that it will stand evenly.
Step 5: Before the clay dries, draw a crosshatch pattern on the front of the airplane holder with the end of a paint brush handle.
Step 6: Let the clay dry for the recommended amount of time on the package.
Step 7: Once dry, paint the planter to resemble a pineapple.
Step 8: Place the air plant in the opening for the cutest pineapple planter ever!

I like what you have done its so nice keep it up .
I remember when the pineapple trend kicked off last year (or was it Summer 2013?) and by now I’ve got pineapple fatigue, BUT this tutorial is the freshest, cutest take on the pineapple mania I’ve seen! Congratulations, you’ve made me not hate pineapple – I would actually buy one of these if I saw it in a store! x

So very cute. I love pineapples.
This is seriously one of the coolest ideas I have ever seen. It’s so fun and cute.
When I saw this, it took me a while to decipher that the top was actually a plant! haha! This is too cute! I think it would look great on a desktop or place of work.

Making pineapples decorations at home is such a great idea. Love the post.
This is adorable! I love the pineapple trend, way to see that an air plant looks just like the top of one!
That’s adorable! I wish it would look this good if I made one 🙂
