Download the cactus template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.

Begin by using a black marker to make spines all along one half of the paper cup and on the cactus arms.

Fold the cactus arms along the dashed line, apply glue or a glue dot, and glue one arm to each side of the cup.

Take the flowers and glue them to the top of each arm and to the top of the cactus.

Next, glue the eye near the middle of the cup, one on each side. We only glued the inner part of the eyes to the cup, but you can also glue the entire eye to the cup.

Create the mouth by gluing the tongue to the bottom of the mouth.

Finish up by gluing the mouth to the middle of the cup, just below the eyes.
