There are two things that I’m obsessed with this summer – Flamingos and Pineapples. I’ve seen these two things all over the past couple months and it is so fun!
A while ago, I showed off a fun flamingo printable, and today I have a DIY gold foil pineapple print!
DIY Gold Foil Pineapple Print
I’ve had these visions of a gold print over black and white stripes for a couple months now but was having issues because I couldn’t come up with a way to have the black and white stripes in the background and only have the gold foil attach to the design on the front. I finally found this paper and knew that I could make it work.
Once I had the paper, I cut it down to 8.5×11 with the stripes set to go horizontally.
In Publisher, I used a blank 8.5×11 page with the margins set to 8×10 so that I would have an idea of how to position my image inside once the paper is printed and trimmed. I found a free clipart of a pineapple outline and positioned it on the screen.
Toner Reactive foil is becoming more popular and I’ve even found some options on amazon. Other than the foil, and the striped paper, you only need a laser printer to complete this project! Check out my Easter Printable for a full set of directions.
I love how it turned out, now just to figure out where to put it!
I still have 14 more pages of this black and white striped paper. What else do you think I should gold foil onto it?

OMG I LOVE THIS! IDK why but I am obsessed with pineapples lately. I just ordered a ton of stuff off of etsy so I could make pineapples my August theme!

Deb- It's me, debcb! says
I love it. I’ve never worked with foil. I imagine it’s fairly fragile.

This is such much fun! :) What a cool little DIY project.
Brooke says
I want this so bad!! How can you make this?? Can you print it off? I want to redo my bedroom and my theme is going to be black, gold, and white! This would look so cute on a canvas, and just hang it up on the wall! Can you please make a printable or a etsy shop and sell them, I would love one!!!!!
Thank you

I guess I’m not understanding the foil part….does it go in your printer? How do you get the image, on the black and white paper, or the foil paper? I LOVE THIS and need to figure this out. Lol

I love this idea! Could I possibly print this to put on a canvas. Maybe a gold foil seahorse would be cute as your next project or crowns are always accepted!
