Your Decoration Project

Christmas 2020
We’ve had a colonial Apple fan for decades over our front door for Christmas. Living in Minnesota the winters are so cold we could use a real pineapple and apples And they would freeze and last most of the winter, at least through the Christmas season.

Texas is too warm, so my wife found artificial pineapple, apples, boxwood leaves and magnolia leaves and I went to work. Here is the final product, plywood backing. The materials cost about $70 but we could only find a half sized artificial pineapple so we scaled it down.

My $70 version
Wife did not want gold leaves.







$400 Etsy version (larger pineapple, maybe?)​

You did a good job replicating the way overpriced Etsy version. That said, I don't really care for it.

You must be a “fan” of Colonial decor.

I thought this thread was going to be about painting the lounge or something.
Christmas? I’ll pass.

This sled has been around since my wife closed her flower shop a few years back. Just pulled it out of the garage, did a quick refresh of greenery, and a new bow. Not my best work, but I'll take it for no longer than I spent on it.
