Cactus Ring Holder

"Cinco De Mayo is an important day. The Mexicans had to defend themselves from the French.  It is historically significant, but it is not Mexican Independence Day." -Kuno Becker

I tend to forget that Cinco De Mayo comes after Star Wars day, which is why I haven't crafted for it before.  However I have wanted to make this ring holder for awhile, so I thought it was a perfect day to do it.  It does take some sculpting patience, but I think it is worth it.


Materials:
  • Brown, pink, yellow, and green polymer clay
  • Premade tiny pot (or make your own)
Directions:
  1. If you don't have one, make a tiny planter out of clay.
  2. Create a cactus using green clay.  Put into pot.
  3. Craft a tiny pink flower and attach to the cactus.  Add a tiny yellow piece of clay to the center of the flower.
  4. Make tiny spikes for the cactus and attach them.
  5. Bake according to the directions for your clay.

Rings can go on any of the cactus's arms.
