Create your very own DIY clay cactus with this simple and fun tutorial, perfect for beginners! All you need are terra cotta pots, oven-bake clay, clay tools, styrofoam balls, hot glue, and a glue gun. Start by working the clay into various shades of green, shaping it into the cactus form you desire with your clay tools. Add little holes, lines, and tiny pink flowers for extra detail, then bake your clay creations and let them cool. To complete the look, make “dirt” using brown clay for the pots. Once everything is baked and cooled, use hot glue to secure the pieces together. Your adorable DIY clay cactus is now ready to add a cute, nature-inspired touch to your home decor. Don’t worry about perfection – just like real cacti, each one has its unique shape! Check out the step-by-step photo tutorial below, or watch the video tutorial for extra guidance.
