Painted Rock Cactus

"Learn how to make a clay pot garden full of cactus painted rocks! These DIY instructions show just how easy they are to make. Rock painting is one of our favorite things. If you’re like me, you find it challenging to keep houseplants alive. That’s why these cactus painted rocks are the perfect addition to my home decor! I find rock painting soothing and relaxing. Put on your favorite tunes, line your work surface, and get ready to paint. This project is fun for many ages, including elementary aged kids all the way through the crafting senior set. "
