There's no doubt about it, pineapples are what's hot for summer, not to mention they are delicious! Setting the table is one of my favorite parts of planning a dinner party – or a party of any kind for that matter. I love coming up with creative ways to make my tablescapes fun and unique. These DIY Felt Pineapple Flatware Holders are just that – fun and unique!
Fold your yellow felt square in half. Draw two pineapple shapes (I printed out a pineapple template to use for mine.) Make sure the bottom of your pineapple is on the fold. Cut out each pineapple, but avoid cutting along the fold.
Open up your pineapple shape and add glue along the inside edge on both sides, leaving the top glue-free. Fold together, lining up edges, and let dry.
Begin adding lines of glue in one direction, and lay down your gold sequin trim on the lines of glue. At this point, just cut them any length, as we will go back and do a final trim.
Add glue lines going the opposite direction to make the crisscross pattern. Add your sequin trim to the lines of glue. Once dry, take your scissors and closely cut off all the excess trim around the edges.
Fold your beverage-size napkin into a point to place inside the top of your pineapple, and then add your flatware and adjust to look like the top of a pineapple.
