pineapple mini vases

hello!

now that red white and blue day is over,

let's concentrate on other colors shall we?

like yellow, pink and purple.

as in pineapples.

in vases.

i know, i'm confused too 

but not when you see this:

they're an easy peasy diy craft that 

can brighten up a little corner of your room

with their unexpected colors.

and what's more, they're cheap to boot!

here's the simple how-to:

just paint in a diagonal fashion one way and then make 3 diagonal strokes the opposite way.

again, make sure the brush is DRY to get this effect.

just don't mind the small smudge marks 

you see in the pic by the brush. 

i was actually holding the brush with my teeth 

as i held the plant in one hand and 

took the pic with the other. LOL 

what bloggers do!?! :>O

 next, if you want:

i used sharpie paint markers cuz they're more vibrant.

and also cuz i luv 'em :)

all done.

hmmm...now i want a piece of pink pineapple...
