An adorable cactus balloon that works for every occasion
Cactus plants may be prickly in real life, but they can look super cute as decor. Plants have become quite trendy in the past few years, and this can be a perfect theme for older children who may want to celebrate their birthday but feel too old for superhero or princess decorations.
Blow up the central body of the cactus along with two smaller sections to make the arms. Paint small v-shapes over all three areas. Then, glue two or three pink felt pom poms onto the top of each of the tinier balloons. Finally, cut off the excess latex at the knot site so it sits flush, and glue the arms onto the central body.
