Eat your fruit. Or hang it up on the wall. Same thing, right?

I’ve had these big ‘ol paper mache Easter eggs hanging around the studio…well… since Easter and I swore I’d figure out something to do with them, eventually. Welp, I did and the result is completely non-Easter in every way. I love a clever craft and today’s DIY paper mache pineapple wall art may just top the ranks of clever. This project takes gallery wall to new heights, or should I say depths. It sort of like those huge taxidermy wall hangings except this is way less creepy and has fewer eyeballs that stare at you no matter where you are standing. No ten-point deer were hurt in the making of these wall hanging. Just one paper mache easter egg, and I’m pretty sure the procedure was painless. You be the judge.
