Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Get your paint ready on a pallet. Tape edges of paper down onto table or board. This will keep it from buckling. Dip one cotton ball into water, squeeze out excess water and wet the entire paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Clip another cotton ball in a clothes pin. Dip it into paint and dab it around the paper making a background. Do this while the paper is still wet so the colours can blend together. If you find that the paper is getting dry, re-wet the paper. When done, let dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Trace your hand onto green paper and cut it out. Use markers or crayons to draw spikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Paint a smaller piece of cardstock the same way you did for the background. Fold in half. Draw half a plant pot shape on the back. Make sure it is big enough to fit the hand cactus. Cut it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Cut tissue paper into small squares. Wrap a square around the eraser of a pencil. Dip the end into some glue. Stamp the tissue paper onto the cactus. This will make flowers! You can layer different colours together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
