First you have to draw the cactus with a pencil on the wooden panel or you can use a paper template. Then you have to hammer in the nails with an equal distance.

Attention: Please make sure that the wooden plate is a little thicker.

Tie Vase

Now you can start tying the vase. I chose two different shades of pink. The order of the yarn doesn`t matter. At the end, the vase is tied all around.
