Rock Cactus Garden

Step 1Sketch out your design onto a piece of paper before you start to decorate your pot. Once you have a design, transfer it lightly onto your pot using a pencil.
Step 2Fill in your design using your terracotta markers. Allow to dry for a minimum of 24 hours.
Step 3Fill your pot with gravel and set aside while you make your cacti.
Step 4Choose about 7 different sized pebbles to be your cacti.
Step 5Paint your pebbles with paint. Allow to dry.
Step 6Add stripes, spots and hairs to your cacti with paint to create spiky looking plants. Allow to dry.
We used images of real cacti to get inspiration for our rocks. Look to our designs for inspiration or research your own designs!
Step 8Gently push your cacti into the gravel in your pot until you are happy with their arrangement.
