To make a surprise ball, it's just a matter of wrapping items, one at a time with Paper Streamers, cutting it off and using a Glue Stick to keep it together after each item is wrapped. Once you have all of your items wrapped, you can add the printable pieces and have a super cute gift!
To start, take the Plush Pineapple Character and wrap it up with the paper. You will squish him a bit into a ball shape. This will be the base of your surprise ball.
Once the plush is completely wrapped, trim the paper and attach it with glue. Now we will add the Pineapple Bubble Bottle to the top of the ball, although when it is done it will look more oval shape than ball shape! We want it to look like a pineapple when we are done after all!
Next, add the Pineapple Sunglasses. Wrap with the paper until they are completely covered, trim and glue.
Then, to the top (remember we are trying to get this to resemble a pineapple), add the Pineapple Slow-Rising Squishy and wrap.
Take the Pineapple Beach Ball and wrap it around the wrapped items. Make sure you try and keep that long oval shape as you continue to wrap the paper around the beach ball. Once wrapped, trim the paper and attach with glue. Then do the same thing with the Pineapple Lollipop.
Finally, grab one of those cute Pineapple Drawstring Bags and wrap it around the whole thing. Wrap with streamer paper until you have the final desired shape and you can't see any of the items through the paper. Use the glue stick to glue the last bit of paper down.
Next, you will need your printable, scissors, hole punch and bakers twine. Download the Free Pineapple Surprise Ball Printables here! Cut out all of the pieces from the printables and punch a hole in the corner of the gift tag.
After you cut out the leaves, fold the bottom stem under and add some glue to it. Glue the stem to the top of the pineapple.
Add the eyes or the glasses to your surprise ball. Cut a piece of baker's twine and attach the gift tag. You can write a sentiment on it if you want, or just leave it with the Aloha!
Give your cute Pineapple Surprise Ball away and watch them be amazed at all the cuteness you fit into that cute little guy!
