My mini cactus planter works great for fun and cute decor around the house.

Step 1: Starting Shape

You want to start by rolling out a cylinder of clay that is 2 inches long and 1 inch is diameter.

Step 2: Hollowing

Using your thumb create a hole in the center not going all the way through the cylinder but going pretty deep. Then with your thumb in the hole use your pointer finger to gently pinch the edges to thin them out. There will be some cracks and to smooth them out wet your finger in a little water and rub it over the cracks.
