Pineapple is a vibrant tropical fruit. It is also called the king of fruits due to the green “crown” of its leaves. Not a single New Year's table is complete without this delicacy. Pineapple is considered a symbol of prosperity and wealth. And, you see, it looks quite luxurious. However, you cannot put a real fruit on a shelf as a decoration - it will quickly deteriorate and lose its charm. But if you make it out of paper...
In this article we will tell you how to make a paper pineapple from many small modules.
Pineapple with champagne
A very convenient option for assembling a beautiful and practical pineapple would be to make it on a bottle of champagne. In order to make such a champagne pineapple small or quite large, you will need the required size
You will also need green corrugated paper, cardboard, ribbon or twine and a hot glue gun. In order for the finished pineapple to be stable, it is necessary to prepare a special cardboard stand for the bottom of the bottle.
First of all, the bottle is covered with cardboard under the base for attaching the candies. Only the wide part of the bottle is covered.
Next, they are attached gradually, starting from the bottom of the candies and, when there is a little space left for the candies, begin gluing the foliage. The leaves are cut out of corrugated paper and stretched a little to create a rounded shape. Next, alternately in a checkerboard pattern we glue the rows to the very top of the neck. We add the remaining candies and decorate the foliage, separating it from the main part with twine or a bow made of satin ribbon.

Pineapple with cognac
You can make pineapple not only with a bottle of champagne, but also with cognac. This option is most suitable as a gift for a man. For such a pineapple you will need a round bottle of cognac, candy, cling film, foliage made of colored or corrugated paper and double-sided tape.
First, the bottle is wrapped in film, and then the top can be covered with foil. Next, glue the foliage of the fruit on top with double-sided tape. The first row of candies will start right here. Making any pineapple from a bottle will be approximately the same, so in most cases craftswomen do not have this question.
If the candies are quite heavy, then it is better to tie them together first. After the first row of candies is glued, you can attach further rows one after another. First, double-sided tape is attached, and then the candies are glued to it.
Once everything is done, you can decorate the finished pineapple as you wish. When you give it as a gift, a person can very easily empty the bottle of sweets by removing the film.
