Fun DIY Spring Cactus Craft

Hi friend! I hope you’re having an amazing day and know just how loved you are! Today, I am walking you through an easy DIY Spring Cactus project for spring. I’d like to introduce you to the DIY Spring Cactus! I originally saw this idea on Pinterest and decided to put my own twist on it. These cacti are perfect for home décor, gifts for teachers, family members, classmates, you name it! This is also a fun activity for kids to try on a rainy day that can be modified to your liking.

SUPPLIES

I found everything I needed for the DIY Spring Cactus Craft in one trip to Hobby Lobby!

• 6 wooden eggs (comes together in 1 package)
• 6 small terra cotta pots (comes together in 1 package)
• 1 package of preserved forest moss
• Satin rosemary acrylic paint (green)
• Black acrylic paint
• Small and medium paint brushes
• Hot glue gun and sticks
• Pink/gold/cream small poms

STEPS

• Paint wooden eggs with satin rosemary acrylic paint, let them dry
• Paint desired design with black acrylic paint, let them dry
• Put a sizable amount of forest moss in each terra cotta pot (about halfway full when pushed down)
• Using your hot glue gun, cover the entire bottom of the egg with glue and place on top of moss in the middle of the terra cotta pot
• Tear apart the moss into smaller pieces to place around the entire egg inside of the terra cotta pot
• Using the bottom of your cleaned paint brush, push down the moss
• Repeat the last two steps, creating a second layer of smaller moss around the egg
• Gently place moss all around the egg slightly above the terra cotta pot
• Finally, for the finishing touch, use a moderate amount of hot glue on the bottom of the small pom and place on top of the egg

There you have it! These fun DIY Spring Cacti are a great activity for the whole family to enjoy! I hope you’ve enjoyed this post. Please let me know how this goes if you try it yourself or with your kids!
