Lattice or solid: choosing a pineapple to cut

The skin of a pineapple can be cut two ways. On the lattice designs the crossing bands are the material and the diamonds between them are holes, so the fruit looks light and wants a backing colour. The bands are about 2.5 mm wide when the pineapple is 100 mm tall: fine in vinyl and card from about 60 mm, and in 3 mm plywood at full size. On the bold pineapple the fruit is solid and each eye is a small diamond hole, which leaves far more material and cuts well down to about 40 mm.

The leaves end in sharp points. In vinyl, weed from the fruit towards the tips so they do not lift. In wood and acrylic the tips are the first thing to scorch, so lower the power or cut the pineapple a little larger.

Room for a name or an initial

Three designs leave space for lettering. The monogram frame has a round window in the lattice, the hollow pineapple is open all the way across, and the split pineapple has a clear band for a name. The pineapple is an old sign of welcome, so these suit door signs, guest room gifts and housewarming cards.

How to open the files

• Cricut Design Space: choose Upload, pick the SVG, and add it to the canvas. Set the width you want; the shape is already welded.
• Silhouette Studio: Designer Edition and above open the SVG. The free Basic Edition does not, so open the DXF instead.
• LightBurn, xTool Creative Space and Glowforge: import the SVG, then set the layer to cut, score or engrave.
• Inkscape, Illustrator and Affinity: open the SVG. It is a plain filled path, so you can recolour it, add a stroke or combine it with your own work.
• Printing or sublimation: use the PNG, which has a transparent background.

Each design page lists the file’s narrowest part at seven sizes, so you can tell whether it will survive at the size you plan to cut.
