Materials Required

• Green Leaves
• Dried Brown Leaves
• Glue
• Scissors
• CraftSheet (White)
• Sketch Pen (Blue)
• Marker (Pink, Black)

Procedure

Step 1: Pasting A Brown Leaf

Let’s begin this craft by taking a white craft sheet. Cut a circle out of it. This will become the base of our art project. Next, we have to make brown desert sand for our cactus craft. To resemble the brown desert sand, we will use a dried brown leaf. Paste it horizontally at the bottom of the circle as shown.

Step 2: Making The Body Of The Cactus

Take a wide and small green leaf to make the body of the cactus. Paste it above the brown leaf as shown.

Step 3: Pasting More Leaves

Take two more green leaves and cut them into an oval shape and paste them on the green leaf pasted earlier as shown in the image. These will become the fleshy stems of the cactus.

Step 4: Adding One More Leaf

To complete the body of the cactus, take one more small green leaf and cut it into a small oval shape and paste it above the cactus as shown in the image.

Step 5: Drawing The Pink Flowers

Take a pink marker, and draw small flowers on the entire body of the cactus as shown. The bright pink colored flowers will add a touch of vibrance to the whole craft.

Step 6: Making The Spikes Or Thorns

Spikes or thorns are an essential part of the cactus. What is the use of the cactus, if it doesn’t have spikes? To make the spikes, take a black marker and draw small vertical lines on the entire surface of the cactus to represent the spike resembling the thorns present on a real-life cactus plant.

Step 7: Drawing The Clouds

Take a blue sketch pen and draw the clouds on the white circle.

The Realistic Cactus Desert Craftwork Is Ready!

Fill up the empty space of the white circle with clouds to enhance the overall look of the craftwork. And that’s it, you have completed your craft successfully!
