Paper Quilling Pineapple Brooch – Materials:

- Quilling strips of green color.
- Toothpicks
- Glue
- Yellow colored paper
- A safety pin.
How to make a Paper Quilled Pineapple Brooch – Procedure:
- To start your quilled pineapple brooch, take a toothpick and one quilling strip of yellow. Start wrapping the quilling strip around the toothpick in a circle. Once complete, stick the edge of the strip with glue. You will notice that a circle is formed with a hole in the center, carefully take this circle out.
- Repeat this step, and make close to 25 closed coils which have a hole in the center.
- Once ready, stick these circles in a horizontal line, attach at least 7 in each line. This will form the centre of your paper quilled pineapple.
- Using the green colored quilling strips, you will have to create the leaves
- Next, you will have to cut out two hexagons for your quilled pineapple. This will be the backing of your paper quilled brooch. Once cut out, stick the coils on one side of one of the sheets, cover it entirely.
- Prick the safety pin through the second cut out of the pineapple, and stick the side containing the needle on the backside of the first cutout.
- And your paper quilled pineapple brooch is ready!
