Want a plant that won’t die? Then cactus rocks just might be for you!

After you choose which rocks are “cactus” worthy you want to paint them. I opted for an olive green, a hunter green and a lighter green for the base colors. Some paints will need a second (or fourth) coat of paint. Then flip them over and paint the other side.
Paint the smaller rocks that will be the “flowers” pink. (Mine took 4 coats)

The pink rocks get small lines around the outside alternating with the medium and lighest pinks. Then add yellow dots to the centers.

The hunter green rocks get vertical light green stripes. Mine needed 2 coats for sure.
Then add small “x”s along the stripes to create the “spikes”

The light green rocks first get hunter green stripes. Then add yellow stripes between the hunter green stripes. After that add small white dots along both sets of stripes.

Yay you’re almost done! Now it’s time to start connecting the pieces together with a bit of hot glue. You can arrange the smaller rocks any way you like – you can even double them up!

Lastly you’ll want to make sure to add a clear sealer over all your hard work. Then flip and do the other side. (I used 2 coats per side) Mod Podge gives them this nice shine!

Now it’s time to display them. Add some sand to your flower pot and rearrange them anyway you like. The more you have the better it looks!

And that’s it! Easy as that. Anyone can created a cactus from some rocks and a bit of paint.
If you recreate these be sure to tag me on social media so I can see your cool looking cacti!
