We absolutely adore this cactus craft and hope you will, too! The main body is made by a potato. We used different sizes for different sizes of cactus, plus a really small one to make some branches. Then a few dots with the end of a paint brush in white paint for the thorns, and finish with a red pot.

Cut the potatoes in half length-wise. Blot the cut side with a rag or paper towel to dry up a bit of the moisture.

green paint

Next, pour some green paint on a large surface. We used a paper plate. We also used a few different shades of green.

And press onto the center of the card. You can use a small potato to make branches off the main cactus stamp. Let the paint dry.

Once stamped, dip the end of a paintbrush in white paint. Make dots over the cactus. Then use the tip of the paintbrush to drag through the dot, forming thorns.

red paper rectangles

Finally, cut a rectangle of red paper to fit the width of the cactus. We angled the sides on ours to give it more of a pot shape.
