How to Make Cactus Wall Decor from Paper
I am obsessed with low-maintenance plants, and this paper cactus wall art is the ultimate solution! I made a whole set for my sun-starved bathroom, and the pop of green makes me smile every day. It’s a fantastic way to add a modern, botanical touch without any watering.
You’ll need: Cardstock or construction paper in shades of green, scissors, a glue gun, and a small pot or cardboard base.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Cut Cactus Shapes: Cut simple cactus shapes from your green paper—think ovals, long rectangles with rounded tops, and small circles for “prickly pears.”
Create Dimension: To make your cactuses 3D, don’t just use flat shapes. For a round cactus, cut two identical shapes and glue them together around the edges, stuffing the center lightly with a bit of scrap paper before sealing it completely.
Add Texture: Use a marker to draw on little dots or lines to mimic spines and textures.
Assemble & Pot: Glue your 3D paper cactuses onto a canvas or a piece of cardboard. “Plant” them in a small paper-mâché or cardboard pot for an adorable finished look.
Arrange them in a shadow box for a stunning, permanent piece of desert decor.
