What you need:

• Assorted pasta noodles
• Apple Barrel Acrylic Craft Paint
• Paintbrushes
• Hot glue gun
• Thimbles

Steps:

Step 1
Arrange your pasta into mini plants! We made two different cacti and one grass-looking plant. For the first cacti, we used rigatoni for the main body and then glued 1 macaroni on either side to be the cactus arms! For the other cacti we used 1 large pasta shell as the body and then glued a trio of mini shells on top to look like a flower blooming. Paint this flower pink (or whatever color you like!) and you can leave some of these cacti flower-less as well. For the grass-type plant, we just used 3-5 thin pasta noodles each, in varying lengths if possible.

Step 2
Use hot glue to assemble the plants and then glue them into their thimble pots. Use green paint to give them a coat of color – we used a few different shades so that our mini pasta plant garden would have a bit of variety!

If you wanted to give them an even more handmade look, you could decorate the thimble plant pots with painted patterns, or use cord to tie a ribbon around it!
