  • Styrofoam Ball
  • Terracotta Pot
  • Toothpicks

CIY Staff Tips:

  • Experiment mixing and blending two or more colours or Model Magic to make a new colour.
  • Model Magic that is fresh from the pack will stick to itself. Dried pieces can be glued together.

Steps:

1

Cut styrofoam to fit the inside of your pot so that it creates a removable lid.

2

Shape green Model Magic to form your first cactus.

3

Use a toothpick to add details to your cactus and then set aside to dry.

4

Stick a toothpick in the base of your cactus and place into the styrofoam. Adult Supervision Required Please refer to Safety Guidelines.

5

Create smaller cacti using different Model Magic colours. Blend them together to create a marbled effect. Place them together in the pot to create a push pin cactus.
