Yes it is a Painted Pineapple




I (Mika) believe that everything has more than one purpose in life. For example, pineapple. It has a greater calling in this world than just pina coladas and fruit baskets. It has the ability to be crafted into a fabulous work of art suitable for a centerpiece for any occasion.
Things You Need:
1. A pineapple (obviously)...i recommend one that is nicely shaped with healthy leaves that aren't broken or bend out of shape.
2. various acrylic paints in metallic colors and paintbrushes
3. gold or sparkly spray paint
4. some old newspapers you can use to paint on and spray
Procedure
1. simply grab the paints and go, use any colors or designs you want on your pineapple
2. after it drys, take it into a well ventilated area and spray paint the leaves. I also spray a bit of paint on the surface, but don't overload or it will completely cover the paint!


Here's a close up!












Just some of the paints I use. $1-$2 dollars at Michael's, totally recommended!











And here is a centerpiece!
