Owls, Chevron, Chalkboard, these are just a few trends that have come and are slowly heading out. Ready for the next huge trend? PINEAPPLES. Yes, that’s right. Pineapples are making an appearance all over the place, from necklaces, to Easter eggs. So today I’ll be sharing how to jump on this trend by making a Pineapple Washi tape print.
This post contains affiliate links. See my full disclosure.
I laid my washi tape out and drew lines on either side of it. Then, I removed the tape and drew in lines to make triangles within the two bold washi tape horizontal lines.
The diagonal lines were my “cut lines”. I did this to create as close as possible of a uniform triangle for my pattern. It was fairly successful.
Next, I freehanded a pineapple shape and started placing the triangles with a very small space in-between them.
After the entire pineapple shape was covered, I carefully used my Xacto knife and cut along my original pencil line to create a clean image.
I also cut out the leafy portion of the pineapple from an old book.
I just love how it turned out.

I want to hang this in my new guest room + office, but goodness it’s getting crowded in there with all my new projects!
I love all the pineapple color it brings!
What do you think? What fruit would you make?
This is so cute! I am pinning this to make with my niece who is currently obsessed with pineapples:)

Incredibly beautiful. My house is in total need of its own pineapple 🙂
Yes, Alli you must get some pineapples! =)
This is absolutely beautiful!
Lovely bit of art. I’m sure I remember reading once that pineapples are a symbol of welcome somewhere in the world – (I’d better do some research if they are going to be the next big thing!) Maybe you could hang this in your hall way!
Very creative with the washi tape triangles! Very cute.
Beautiful! Love the small piece of newspaper in there.. very creative 🙂
