DIY Pineapple Centerpieces

Posted on August 13, 2022August 13, 2022 by yudicarpenter

In keeping with the Luau theme this week, I wanted to share these super simple centerpieces. They are made with real pineapples!

What you need:

Pineapples
Gold Spray Paint
Acrylic Paint
Glue
Glitter
Flat Back Gemstones (Optional)
Silk Flowers

Directions:

Step 1: Spray Paint the bottom part of the pineapples using the gold spray paint.

Step 2: Paint the Tops of the pineapples with the acrylic paint that matches whatever glitter you will be using. If you don’t have much time, you can skip this step. PROTIP: Using a base paint where you will be glittering hides any glitter imperfections.

Step 3: Using the glue add your glitter to each leaf top.

Cardboard Box Tiki Totems

Posted on August 11, 2022 by yudicarpenter

I’m a firm believer that you can make anything out of a cardboard box! These will go great with our pool noodle tiki totems and a great addition to any Luau! So simple and cheap….

Depending on how tall you want them will determine how many and what size boxes you need.

If you google Tiki Totem Faces you will find many examples and templates to use to create your own faces.

These are perfect for a budget Luau themed event! Made these with pool noodles that you can get from the dollar store. Each pool noodle made about 6-8 depending on what size you want.
