Pineapple prints & motifs are all over the place and so trendy right now. So I thought I will show how to make a 3D pineapple out of felt. Without much ado, let's get to the making.
Trace the pattern on to the felt sheets.You will need 5 pieces to make one pineapple. I traced ten as I made two (One set for sewing version and another no sew version).
Take two pieces, right sides facing each other and sew one side as shown.
In the same way, join the other three pieces together.
Now join the 3 piece part and 2 piece part together, sew completely on one side and while attaching the other side leave a small opening. Using that turn the whole thing inside out.
Now stuff the base of the pineapple with stuffing. Decide which side you want to use it as base. fill it with little stuffing and then add some weight like marbles /stones/Rice/ Beans to make to stand. Then fill the remaining with more stuffing. If you are using it as a pillow, you can avoid adding weights.
Close the opening with a ladder stitch using needle and thread. Your pineapple base is done.
Follow the link below to learn how to make the crown of the pineapple and for pineapple base pattern.
How cute is this pineapple? So now you ask what can these be used for? I initially thought of this as a pin cushion, later when I brainstormed ideas I came up with lot of uses. To name a few, use it as pineapple pincushion(Of Course) or as a office decor to store your thumb tacks. Add more weights and use it as bookends or a paper weights. Make it more bigger to use it as a pillow.

If you put a heavy stone in the bottom maybe it would make a good door stop?
