Celebrate summertime with Ella and Annie's adorable craft roll 3-dimensional cactus craft! We've learned that you can create pretty much anything with craft rolls. These blooming cacti plants are easy to make and appropriate for beginners. Grab some green acrylic paint, paint brushes, a black sharpie or black paint and our colorful flower embellishments to get started. We recommend using the white craft rolls when painting, they only require 1-2 coats of paint!
