🖌️ How To Make a Pineapple Vase Planter

- Step 1: Before getting started, cover your workspace with old newspapers or papers to protect it from paint. Apply a base coat on the outer surface of the clay pot using white acrylic paint. Allow the paint to dry entirely. If the first white coat is too thin, in that case, apply another coat of white acrylic paint. Allow the second coat to dry entirely again.

- Step 2: Decide a pattern or design for the clay pot or planter; I’m doing a simple pineapple pattern. If you choose to paint pineapple pattern as well, apply a coat of yellow acrylic paint on the outer surface of the pot.

- Step 3: Apply coat 2 of yellow paint after the first coat dries.

- Step 4: Now grab a green acrylic paint and apply a 1 cm thin border around the top side of the yellow-painted clay pot. Apply the green paint around the top part of the outer surface, as well as the top edge and 2 cm inside (from the top) the pot. Allow the green border to dry entirely.

- Step 5: You can use black acrylic paint or black sharpie for this step, whichever you prefer. Use the black sharpie (or acrylic paint) to draw cross/arrow patterns on the outer surface of the clay pot. Try to keep the patterns aligned and organized.

- Step 6: And done! Pour some soil mix into the pot and a plant. Succulent plants look great in this pot! Your planter is ready to display!

🧑🎨 Expert Tips for DIY Pineapple Vase Planter
- Choose a Stable Clay Pot: Select a clay pot with a flat base to ensure stability when placed upright.
- Apply a White Base Coat: Start with a white acrylic paint base coat to create a neutral background for the pineapple design.
- Use Yellow Paint for the Body: Once the base coat dries, apply yellow acrylic paint to mimic the body of the pineapple.
- Add a Green Top: Paint a 1 cm thin border around the top edge with green acrylic paint to represent the pineapple's crown.
- Draw Crosshatch Patterns: Use a black sharpie or black acrylic paint to draw cross or arrow patterns on the pot to resemble the pineapple's texture.
- Plant a Succulent: Fill the painted pot with soil and plant a succulent for a vibrant and low-maintenance addition to your space.
