How much cuter can these pet cactus rocks be? And they are so easy to make too! This is a craft your kids will LOVE!
Here’s what you need:
• Rocks – choose them based on the size of your terracotta pot. A flat surface area is needed for the googly eyes.
• Googly eyes
• Outdoor acrylic paint – green, white & bright green
• Mini terracotta pots
• Hot glue (adults only) or glue dots for kids
Directions:
First select your rocks
Clean your rocks before painting
Paint with your outdoor paint. Try two coats of the lighter green to ensure you get complete coverage. Once you have the green painted, use the white to create different cactus designs! Try dots, hash marks and lines and stars. Now glue on your googly eyes! Use hot glue or glue dots. Now they are ready to go into their pots!
If you’d like them to stand higher in their pots, use a little bit of paper towel or foam in the bottom of the pots.
