Step 1: Paint your rocks. Paint each of your rocks with a coat of green paint. If your first coat isn't bright enough, wait for your rocks to dry and paint a second coat of green. Tip: Add your own flair by choosing some of mum's favourite colours to paint your cactus rocks. Photo: Bunnings -
Step 2: Decorate your rocks. Once the paint has dried, add details to your cactus by using white paint to draw on veins and yellow paint to create small flowers. Create a different design for each rock to give it a personal touch that mum will love. Photo: Bunnings -
Step 3: Prep your pot. Place your pot in the saucer and fill it half way up with sand. The sand will support your cactus rocks. Tip: A fun idea is to paint your pot so that it looks extra special for mum. Photo: Bunnings -
Step 4: Arrange your cacti. Once all your rocks are dry, simply arrange them in your pot to make them look like a cluster of cacti. Photo: Bunnings -
