SUPPLIES:

Cut your water bottle into three separate pieces: best, center and base. The best segment, and the base piece are the main ones you will utilize, so you can simply ahead and reuse that center segment. The best area is the piece that issues most, so make certain to slice it to the coveted tallness you'd like your light to be. Mine was around 6" tall.
Remove the best spout from your water bottle. You won't require the spout.
Utilizing scotch tape or overwhelming obligation clear tape, stick the base part to the best piece, as though you were reproducing a short water bottle. At that point, cut the spout off the best bit of your water bottle. You won't require this part.
For this task, you'll have to sever the leaders of the plastic spoons. Snap the base from the handle and put your handle parcels off to the side. I showered paint my spoon heads three distinct hues to make an ombre impact. You can paint it each of the one shading - or be aggressive and paint each piece an alternate shading. Mess around with it!
Simply recall, in any case you paint your spoons will show up diversely when the pineapple is lit up. Brush strokes, splatters and different impacts will be unmistakable when the light radiates through each piece.
My first shading was a turquoise.
My second shading, a sky blue tint.
My third shading, a dim blue tone.
I adore the ombre look of these hues. Rustoleum has a pack of various shades and hues. You can look at various them here.
I painted my handles the darker shade of blue. The handles will make the spiky segment of the pineapple.
One by one, utilize your craft glue weapon to hold fast each piece to your water bottle base. Hold each piece down for atleast 5 seconds to guarantee it bonds well to the plastic water bottle.
Keep sticking on each spoon piece to the water bottle. Try not to stick any pieces on to the base of the container, simply the sides.
Take your electrical cording and start sustaining it through the light base. Embed the connect to the best part of the water bottle and out through the base opening you made in the base. Nourish everything of the path through until the point that the globule divide sits cozily inside the pineapple base. Keep in mind to tighten your light!
At the highest point of your water bottle, take your spoon handles and make a spiky best, much the same as you would see on a pineapple. No requirement for flawlessness here! I utilized a blend of craft glue and tape to follow it.
For wellbeing reasons, guarantee this spiky piece does not touch your light. You don't need the closures of the spoons to end up noticeably excessively hot when lit.
Voila! My energetic pineapple light sitting on my family room side table. It includes such a fun fly of shading to our room and I've gotten such huge numbers of compliments on it as of now. Your visitors will have a hard time believing you made it from a cluster of plastic spoons!
