[racerose]

Droooool... I love this pineapple Christmas Tree. Has anyone ever made anything like this? I've never used the fabric stiffener with thread crochet.

Oh wow ... that's amazing. I can't imagine making something like that!

[mythunderbird]

i have made a angel like that, is not that hard to stiffen the thread. i used a product called stiffy, works really good. you can also use starch as it will also work. but you should not be afraid to try it. i bet you could make it:manyheart

I have made Angels and snowflakes. I have wanted to make that tree, but haven't gotten around to it.

 

 

Anyway, I use a product called Aleene's Fabric Stiffener & Draping Liquid. With this, if I need to, I can also add water to make it thinner. You can also use Elmer's glue and water. That is suppose to work.

Someone told me to use sugarwater for a stiffener. Didn't tell me about the ants....

[dixieredhead]

I used the glue and water mixture on my snowflakes this year. It really does a great job. Just remember equal parts. That tree is wonderful. I'd like to try that sometime myself.

that's a beautiful Christmas tree!!!!!

[Kimberly]

What a beautiful tree! I've not gotten up the courage to try anything like that....one of these days!

[sissymamma]

Wow! That is so beautiful! I've never seen anything like it.

[LadySox]

absolutely gorgeous!

[misssmaggie]

That is so pretty!!!

[Paralee]

Wow, that is gorgeous! I have used the glue and water stiffener. It's a little messy, but works really well.

[MaryPat]

I made this tree and stiffened it with Aeleene's (sp?) Stiffener. It was easy to stiffen. That pineapple pattern is so much prettier.

[frogsrock]

wow

 

but omg that price tag... personally i couldnt bring myself to spend $16 on a pattern

[Misty.Creek]

The $16 includes the thread, beads AND pattern, which might be a bit easier to swallow.

[jackie b]

That is stunning... how do I get the pattern

[Granny Square]

The original post is 8 years old, so I don't know if it is available ( couldn't find it ), but she mentioned she got it at Herschnerrs as a kit

[silverbelle29]

Here is a kit on ebay...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pineapple-Christmas-Tree-Crochet-Kit-w-Beads-11x10-5-/380769729619?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item58a7a4fc53

 

Also if you do a search on ebay for a "crochet pineapple Christmas tree pattern",  the written pattern only is for sale cheaper than this kit.

I just looked (again) on Herrschners' site, it is (still) no longer offered - that would be the best place to inquire about it. (the original post on this thread is 15 years old)  I also looked on Ravelry and didn't find anything close there, either.
