Materials:
Green seed beads size 11/0
Brass wire 28 ga
Wire-cutter
Arranger
Clay pot
Glue (glue gun with plastic sticks)
1. String a large amount of beads (size 11/0) on a spool wire (28 ga). Slipping the first 5 beads, insert wire through the next 5 beads, and tighten. Leave about 1 inch of loose wire from one end and 1/4; in. from another. Cut the wire. Now, you have 1 thorn.
2. Repeat step1… Join 3 thorns together twisting long ends. Be patient: I made more than 100 bundles of thorns for my little cactus!
3. I used ball arranger as a base for my cactus (diameter -1 3/4 in =4.5 cm), attached it to the clay pot with a glue- gun... Stick bundles into the arranger.
4. If you wish, you can make beaded flowers and stick them into the top of cactus.
