Taking your tapestry needle, sew your cactus onto the dirt section, right in the middle. Then sew 2 small black button onto your cactus (These are the eyes) making sure to space them out evenly. Taking some black thread and a sewing needle, stitch a small smile beneath the 2 eyes.

Hope you all enjoyed this quick desert-y pattern!
