How to make a candy pineapple

Gather supplies. I chose flavored water, but wine, champagne, any drink in a bottle can be used.

Cut tissue paper into small squares that are a bit bigger than the candy you are using.

Add a dot of hot glue to the middle of tissue paper.....

Press candy down into hot glue.

Starting on the bottom of the bottle, begin to glue candies to bottle.

Glue candies up to the point where you want to add your stem.

Free hand, cut out a long stem, which you will wrap around bottle.

Glue paper stem around the top of the bottle.

Curl fronds around a pencil to add shape.

Add strands of raffia between candy and stem to give a finished look. Ready for gift giving!
