You will need
You will also need:
* A vegetable cutter with a cutting grid
* A craft knife
Shape half the yellow FIMO block into a ball. Roll the ball until it gets a cylindrical shape – the pineapple should be able to stand up well.
Then roll the pineapple diagonally across the vegetable cutter once to give it the right pattern.
Use the pliers to cut off a piece of wire of about 15 cm. Twist the end of the wire with your jewellery pliers twice.
Push the wire from above into the yellow pineapple.
Then roll the green FIMO into a plate with your rolling pin. Use a craft knife to cut out three triangles. Now place the triangles around the wire on the yellow pineapple and bend them over slightly.
Finally harden the pineapple in the oven at 110 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Now you only need to add the name sign. You can design it with the pigment liner in beautiful hand-lettering.
