Step One: Roll about half the package of green clay into a thick snake shape for the body of the cactus.
Step Two: Flatten the top out a little and then stick it into the small wooden wheel so that some of the clay goes into the hole.
Step Three: Remove the clay from the wheel. Create two little arm shapes that point up for the cactus.
Step Four: Mold the arms to the body to create the solid cactus shape. Then bake it according to the directions on the packaging.
Step Five: Paint the wooden wheel with the green paint. I picked the paint that was the closest match to my clay but you could also paint it a different shade.
Step Six: After the cactus has finished baking and drying, add a bunch of little lines with the thin marker all over.
Step Seven: Glue The cactus to the wheel so that it will stand up.
This is the perfect DIY solution to my problem of misplacing my rings. Now I always know that they are right there on my bed side table on my DIY clay cactus ring holder.I have gotten a lot of compliments on it and I have even made a few more for my friends as gifts. It really is a great inexpensive and easy DIY gift ideas for teens.
