Why are Pineapples so awesome?
There are a few reasons why pineapples really are awesome.
For one, they’re tropical and remind me of warm weather; which is always nice after the long winter!
Pineapples also have many health benefits including Vitamin C (prevents scurvy) and anti-inflammatory properties.
Pineapple is also a natural diuretic so it can help you get rid of water weight and bloating.
And lastly, pineapple goes great with ham! Pineapple on pizza is also pretty tasty if you’re adventurous.
It’s easy to add some sunny, summer cheer to your crafting project with these pineapple stencil templates!

To help you out, I have put together these printable templates so that all you have to do is transfer the shape onto your watercolor paper and get on with the painting.
If you would like to try this out, you should transfer the pineapple template to watercolor paper.
This is how…
How to Transfer the Pineapple Template to Watercolor Paper (Method One)
- Print out your pineapple stencil template on standard printer paper.
- Tape your printed template to a window with light behind it so that you can see the outline of the pineapple coming through.
- Using a soft lead pencil (2B, 4B, 6B, or 8B), trace over the printed outline of the pineapple that you can see through the paper. Do this quite firmly so that you have left enough lead on the surface to be transferred easily onto the watercolor paper.
- Place your printed pineapple stencil template with the traced pencil outline face-down on your watercolor paper.
- Using your pencil once again, trace the printed pineapple outline so that the pencil line gets transferred to your watercolor paper.
- Voila! You have your transferred shape, and you don’t need to hand-draw it yourself!
- Now you can use your watercolor or watercolor brush pens and start your painting!
How to Transfer the Pineapple Stencil Template to Watercolor Paper (Method Two)
Here are some quick steps to get your pineapple stencil ready to use.
- Open your Pineapply Stencil PDF and select print.
- Choose the size you want to print to.
- Print the stencil onto a mylar transparency sheet. (Alternatively, you can print the pineapple stencil onto a standard piece of paper and then trace it onto a piece of plastic mylar after)
- On a cutting mat, use a craft knife to carefully cut out the shapes of your pineapple.
- Your stencil is now ready to use.
How to Create Watercolor Stencil Art
- Place your pineapple stencil on watercolor paper.
- Tape down your sheet of watercolor paper using artist masking tape.
- If you want to, you can start your watercolor painting by first applying a light wash of color before you begin with your top layer. This can create a lovely layered effect!
- Spray the back of your pineapple stencil using spray adhesive and stick it on your watercolor paper.
- Start applying washes of watercolor over the paper and the stencils. You will find that to paint into the crevices, and small spaces of the stencil you need to manipulate your paintbrush. It is important that the watercolor paint doesn’t bleed underneath the stencil, so always work with a light touch.
- Allow the paint to dry fully before removing the stencil.
- Use warm water and soap to gently wash the stencil (if using a plastic watercolor stencil) so that it can be reused and is ready for the next time!
