Free Pineapple Stencil!

The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality. Here is a free pineapple stencil for you to craft into your home decor and welcome all who come!

The pineapple has served as both a food and a symbol of hospitality throughout the history of the Americas. The image of the pineapple has come to express the sense of welcome, good cheer, human warmth and family affection inherent to gracious home gatherings.

I designed this pineapple stencil for you! Throughout this web site you will find many Free Stencils from a large variety of styles. It is my intention to get you motivated to create art with stencils!

Pineapple as Architectural and Artistic Motif

It is hardly surprising that this symbol of friendship and hospitality also became a favorite of architects, artisans and craftsmen throughout the American Colonies. The hospitality of a mansion was displayed with carved wood or molded mortar pineapples on its main gate posts.

It is easy for anyone to put custom hand painted images like this pineapple stencil on walls or where ever it is desired with the use of Stencil Designs.

The first encounter between a European and a pineapple occurred in November, 1493, when Christopher Columbus, lowered anchor in a cove off the lush, volcanic island of Guadaloupe and went ashore. There, amidst parrot-flecked jungle foliage and wooden pillars spiraled with serpent carvings, his crew came upon piles of freshly gathered vegetables and fruits, including pineapples.

I hope you find a place for this pineapple in your home and enjoy the pleasure it brings to you and your guests!
