Paper Cactus

It's a snow day today!

...Except there is no snow...

But I'm so happy that I finally have time to post on the blog!

This past month,

I have been doing track conditioning.

This past week,

the actual track practices have started.

Come to find out...

I thought I signed up for 1 hour practice on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday.

Ends up...

I signed up for 2 hour practices Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday!

It may have been just a little misunderstanding....

But oh well!

It will be good for me!

This snow day is a good break,

I decided to start out my morning with making paper cacti!

Supplies//

Paint

Ruler

Pencil

Scissors

Green Paper

Hot Glue Gun 

I started out by sketching a cactus shape.

(I also traced another straight cactus next to my base cactus,

so I can fold them together at the end to get a 3D effect!)

Then,

I painted stripes.

You can do whatever you want!

Polkadots, chevron, or maybe even dotted lines!

I cut them out.

I also cut a slit down the middle.

I figured out that the middle part of the cactus wouldn't stay unless I added a line of hot glue.

Drum roll...

BA-BAM!

Lovely cacti.

No watering required!

Y'all have fun crafting,

Daisy
