Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

My kids are allergic to most house plants, and even if I could put a few in the house, the mold that could grow in the dirt is another hazard for us. I love that this idea uses rocks so that you can make a cactus garden that looks close to the real thing without the possible allergens.

I've painted rocks before and it is a lot of fun! This cactus idea is so,clever. I think it would be a cute gift for someone living in Arizona as a landmark garden item for fun. You could even add some red pompoms to resemble blooms, and paint on a little lady bug for extra whimsy. Add a tiny dew drop either n the form of a plastic bead, or create one with clear glue, glue gun glue, or white glue that dries clear. Add a ribbon to the pot for another option. Clever idea!

What a great idea! These painted rocks would be perfect for decorating an apartment - you can set up your "plants" and just forget about them! Or I guess I could make them for my sister... she doesn't exactly have a green thumb. Great project, FaveCrafts!
