Cactuses Craft Instructions

Step #1: Making A Shaded A Line

Begin this artwork by taking a white circular paper sheet as the base for this painting and a circle stamp. Paint your circle stamp in 3 colors occupying 1/3 region of it in a line i.e. yellow, light green, and dark green using a paintbrush. Place your painted stamp over the mid and a little above the center of the base and drag it to the bottom of the base to make a shaded line over the base as shown in the image. This will be the stem of the cactus.

Step #2: Making More Stem Of Cactus

Following the same, make 2 more stems of the cacti on both sides of it on the base. Make sure to make the lines of random sizes. See the image for reference.

Step #3: Forming The Cactus Shape

Take a small circle stamp and paint it in the same way you painted previously and then use it to make the branches of the cacti over them to give them the cactus shape as shown in the image.

Step #4: Making The Ground

Dip your small circle stamp into brown paint and dab it over the bottom of the base and even over the cacti to form the ground beneath the cacti. Make sure to not drag the stamp, just dab it to form circles and cover it up.

Step #5: Completing Making The Ground

Completely make the ground beneath the cacti by dabbing the brown painted circle stamp at the bottom. See the image for reference.

Step #6: Making Red Flowers On The Cactus

Dip yor small circle stamp on red paint and dab it over the stems and branches of the 2nd and 3rd cacti. Make single circles and even 5 circles collectively to make the flowers on them. See the image for reference.

Step #7: Making Pink Flowers

Dip your stamp into pink paint and dab it over the 1st cactus to make a single circle flower and a 4 circled flower on it.

Step #8: Making The Centers Of The Flowers

Dip a cotton earbud into yellow paint and make a dot in the middle of the red 5-petaled flowers to make the center of them.

Step #9: Making More Flowers

Make dots of yellow painted cotton bud over the 1st cactus and the 3rd cactus and then dip the bud into red paint and make lines around the yellow dot to make flowers over it. See the image for reference.
