Instruction
Step1: Cut out the parts
Cut all of the required parts.
Step2: Assemble the center part and the base
Glue the two largest cactus pieces together. They slide over each other.
Add the base on the bottom and make sure everything is aligned.
Step3: Add the smaller perimeter pieces
Add the smaller perimeter pieces that fit between the two larger pieces.
I recommend you add glue on the top sparingly as they only touch the rest of the pieces at the edges. You can also add the glue on the top later by using a toothpick for example to apply it.
Use a rubber band to hold everything together while the glue cures.
Look from the top and adjust the pieces so they are all equally spaced.
Step4: Add the side pieces
Add the two side pieces on the extended arms of the main cactus body.
They are both the same so add them however you like.
Step5: Add the flower
Add the flower. I recommend you remove the rubber band before this step.
First, add the larger flower and then the smaller one.
Step6: Paint - optional
Optionally you can paint the cactus in a standard green colour.
