DIY Rock Cactus Craft – Painting Rocks
What you need
river stones in different shapes (long oval flat ones work out best)
acrylic paint – different shades of green, white (can also use Tulip dimensional paint for spines)
paint brush
pot
decorative sand

First thing you need to do is to wash the rocks to get any dust and dirt off of them. Once they are clean and dry color them green. Let the paint to dry completely.

Now take white acrylic paint or Tulip dimensional paint and draw spines. You can draw them in many different ways – straight dashed lines, pointing in different directions, spots… Let it dry
 
Fill the pot halfway with decorative sand. Stick in the painted rock cactus and add more decorative sand around them, filling the pot to the top.
Your rock cactus craft is all done! Now you have a plant that will never, ever die 🙂
