Step 2: Cut out the pieces of your cardboard cactus. You need two pieces of cardboard to make the homemade saguaro cactus. You may include many paddles in the craft made from the prickly pear cactus. Your creativity and the quantity of cardboard you have on hand will determine the shape, size, and number of paddles for your cactus craft.
Step 3Slit the saguaro cactus pieces at the top and bottom. With the slits connecting them, the cardboard cactus will fit together like a jigsaw. This is what gives your own 3D cactus dimension.
Step 4: Using a paler shade of green paint, add painted accents that mimic cactus spikes. This pattern might be totally arbitrary. Use toothpick tips as spikes for the homemade prickly pear cactus. Insert the toothpick between the cardboard cactus paddle pieces using a small amount of adhesive.
On top, pompoms or flowers provide lovely accents. We all know that pompoms make everything better. With hot glue, add.
Step 5: Use glue to secure the cardboard cactus in a pot with foam at the bottom. When the DIY cactus is complete, insert the parts inside the pot and secure them with hot glue to the foam. The adhesive and foam ensure that the cactus craft you have spent so much time making stands straight and does not fall over. Add more pompoms or rocks to the foam to cover it.
Build your cardboard cactus and display in Step 6. Better yet, this cactus creation doesn’t require any watering and won’t perish even if you neglect to water it. Since you are aware that it is cardboard, I sincerely hope that you do.
Which creative cardboard cactus design do you prefer? Team prickly pear or the saguaro? Since choosing is difficult, you might as well choose both.

Continue until you reach the top of the PVC pipe with the remaining bags, squishing them as you go to simulate the raised bark of palm tree trunks.
