Material list
Our wire cacti do not make only a good figure, but are also nice summery and an eye-catcher in your home. You can illuminate the cactuses additionally or use them as note holders.
Bend the decorative aluminium wire into cacti. You can use our shapes or you can form your own creations

Now place the formed cacti on the tree discs and mark the places where the holes have to be drilled. Take the tree discs and drill two or four holes with the cordless drill into the Wooden discs.
Please make sure that the diameter of the drill head corresponds with the diameter of the wire, so that the cactus holds properly.

We have wrapped a cactus with a micro-LED light chain, so you still have an atmospheric eye-catcher.

The spines of the other two cacti can be made with winding wire. To do this, wrap the wire in the desired places and press the wire tightly against the cacti with the help of a pair of jewellery pliers

For help you can also use some Handicraft glue and fix the spikes to the wire. This wire dries transparent, so that it is not visible later.
Tip: If you like, you can also use the cacti as note holders. For this purpose, notes etc. can be attached to the cactus with small clips.
