How to Make a Paper Plate Pineapple
Step 1. Paint or color your paper plate yellow. I love paint sticks for paper plate crafts! They dry quickly and glide on smoothly.
Step 2. Cut out your pineapple leaves from green construction paper or cardstock. Draw on any details with a green marker or crayon.
Step 3. Add lines to your yellow paper plate and make diamonds by making intersecting lines. I used a marker and then went over it with a glitter glue stick!
Finally, glue on your paper leaves to the back of the plate.
