How to make the cactus

Sort your beads

Count out the beads per color from the table. The most used color here is 80-15262 Cocoa with 115 beads.

Fill the pegboard

Work row by row from the top. The whole pattern fits on one large square pegboard (29 × 29).

Iron it

Cover the beads with ironing paper and iron on medium heat in slow circles until they fuse. Let it cool under a heavy book so it stays flat.

It is the perfect plant for people who can't keep real plants alive, as a magnet, coaster or desk decoration.
