Equipment

  • Scissors
  • Hot glue and hot glue gun

Instructions

  • "Plant" the fake cactus in a planter of your choice by pressing it snuggly down into an empty planter. You can also hot glue the bottom of the faux cactus in place in the bottom of the planter if needed. I also liked the idea of using planter stuffing or glued sand around the based of the cactus so it really looked potted, but it's definitely optional!
  • Hot glue the pom pom trim around the cactus in a swirling motion. You can glue as many or as few strands on top as you'd like.
  • Glue the colorful felt balls on to the cactus randomly.
  • You can also top each point on your cactus with a bright felt ball to serve as the Christmas tree topper too!
