Steps to Follow:
- Spray the pineapples with gold or silver paint, or a combination of the two, as desired.

2. Pineapple-Shaped Candle
If you want to manufacture pine cone Christmas decorations, consider making pineapple-shaped candles by following these simple instructions:
Materials:

- Several saucepans to melt the wax, as many as the colors you are going to use.
Steps to Follow:
- Tie the wick around the pineapples, making sure the knot is secure (then it will not be seen).
- You can color the pineapple-shaped candles by melting the wax in a bain-marie with two saucepans and adding the dyes you wish. Alternatively, you can use many saucepans to melt different colored candles.

Steps to Follow:
