What You Will Need

Instructions

  • Protect your work surface by placing a non-stick hot glue mat down on it
  • Add green hot glue sticks to your glue gun and let them heat up. Then squeeze so that melted green glue starts to come out.
  • Create cactus shapes onto your mat with the hot glue.
  • Allow the glue to cool then peel your cacti off of the mat. Add some polka dots with some white craft paint to complete the look.
  • Use a little more hot glue to attach each cactus to the thumbtack. Allow all of your pins to dry completely before using them.

Notes

Pro Tip: If you don’t feel comfortable with freehanding or want to freehand them, just print some images from your computer and lay it under the mat as a guide (kind of like tracing).
