Paint the edges and then the top of the leaves. Allow to dry completely for several hours before moving on.
Sand the edges and the pineapple surface. Make sure to sand the parts unevenly. Then remove all dust from the pineapple surface.
With the pineapple facing away, stain the edges (left side, right side, top and bottom). Then lay the pineapple flat and stain the top. Use a cotton cloth to wipe desired amount of stain from the edges and top. Allow it to dry completely.
Please note: If you want to put the pineapple on your front door completely exposed to the weather its best to coat with an outdoor sealer.

Supplies:
Directions:
1. Make sure the monogram is completely free of dust by wiping with a clean rag.
2. Apply a single coat of white acrylic paint to the sides and front of the bunny. Start on the sides, painting all of the edges first then moving to the top. Remember to use paint sparingly to avoid paint build up and drips. Let the project dry thoroughly before moving on. (I usually wait over night for curing time)
3. Using medium grade sand paper, sand down your project to create a weathered look. Make sure to hit all edges, varying the amount of sanding as you go. Lightly hit the top in several spots to finish of the worn look.
4. Use a clean rag to wipe the project clean.
5. Apply the stain as follows:
With the bunny facing away lay it on one side and stain everything you can see of the edges.
Same process facing away on the other side to stain the other side and edges.
With the bunny facing away, stain from the top down.
With the bunny facing away, stain from the bottom up
Flip to the front and stain the entire front last.
Wipe the stain off the sides and top leaving as much or as little as you prefer.
The stain has a sealer so the project is finished when it is completely dry. You can add a pre-made bow, or make your own. This one was made from ribbon purchased at Hobby Lobby.
