How to make painted rock cacti

by

CactiRocks_3 I know it’s the second day of fall but I live in SoCal and we are in the middle of a drought. We are all in a big water conservation mode and being encouraged to plant native low water plants. These rock cacti use no water so they are perfect and  are beyond cute!!! Pop on over to Like the Cheese for the  tutorial on how to make painted rock cacti.

We highly recommend using paint pens when working with rocks, they have a fine point and are far easier to draw with.

You can paint your rocks with themes in mind too –  Check out these other articles we featured too on painted rocks.
