Assembly
Make sure your safety eyes are attached firmly. Sew the cactus to the back loops of Rnd14 of the pot, before sewing completely shut though stuff your succulent firmly. For the succulent with the shoots, I used dressmaking pins to attach the shoots to the dirt then sew them in place. Then sew the dirt patch to the back loops of Rnd14 of the pot, before sewing it completely closed stuff your succulent firmly. Fasten off, weave in all ends and trim them.
We hope you have enjoyed this sweet succulent CAL!
