If your thumb is more crafty than green, then you’ve come to just the right place! Molded, painted, stitched, and more … these projects will give you your cactus fill, without ever needing to go near an actual plant.
1. Rock On

It’s all in the details: Use an acrylic paint pen to jazz up the cacti in this rock garden. The pen is so much easier to control than a regular paint brush!
2. Stitch to This

Here’s a little secret: Cacti are waay easier to pipe than flowers, because they don’t have to be so delicate! These cupcakes’ crushed cookie “sand” and mini pots are a nice touch, too.
6. Jam Out
