This Crepe Paper Christmas Cactus is designed to be a detailed and dimensional crepe paper project.  During the live event, weā€™ll walk you through all the tips and tricks to creating a stunning piece of seasonal decor, and assembling your plant so it drapes beautifully over the edge of a small pot. Itā€™s a fantastic make for crafters who are comfortable with crepe paper basics and ready to spend a bit more time on sculpting and assembly ā€” but confident beginners are welcome to follow along too.

Surprisingly, Christmas cacti actually have a very sweet history. Unlike desert cacti, these beauties are native to the rainforests of Brazil, where they grow on trees and rocks in shaded, humid environments. Over time, theyā€™ve become a beloved winter houseplant due to their tendency to burst into bloom right around holidays. Additionally, these holiday cactus are often passed down through families and can live for decades ā€” a wonderful tradition  of community, continuity, and celebration.

Once your crepe paper Christmas cactus is complete, you can display it just like the real thing. Tuck it into a decorative pot, style it on a mantel or shelf, or group it with other paper plants and florals for a lush, festive display.

Regardless of how you choose to show it off, we canā€™t wait to see your gorgeous Crepe Paper Christmas Cactus. Whether you craft along live or catch the replay ā€” be sure to share your work using the hashtag #MemberMake. Merry Crafting and see you soon!
