I know it’s fall and we should all be thinking mums and apple cider, but I just can’t quite let the pineapple go from summer time!

I made this fun pineapple washi tape print earlier in the year and today I am sharing my Easy DIY Pineapple Pumpkin!

Pineapples are still my go-to DIY fruit of choice.

DIY Pineapple Pumpkin

To create a pineapple looking pumpkin, the first step is to clean off your pumpkin from any dirt or debris (this won’t be an issue if you used a faux pumpkin).

Spray paint your pumpkin

Once your pumpkin is all clean and dry, it’s time to add it’s fun yellow color! Using spray paint, slowly go around the pumpkin applying an even coat. My pumpkin took about 3 coats of yellow paint – just like a piece of furniture might.

Add checkered pattern

After the yellow paint has completely dried, draw a simple checker board pattern on your pumpkin with a gold paint pen.

Don’t stress if your lines aren’t perfectly straight, mine certainly were not.

Add a green pineapple fruit crown

Next, cut green scrapbook paper into a basic pineapple fruit leaf crown shape. Then, hot glue the paper to the side of the pumpkin stem.

If your pumpkin doesn’t have a stem you can hot glue or tape a small wooden dowel to the back of your scrapbook paper and then stick it into the pumpkin near the top.
