Bonjour, and welcome one and all! It’s #monthlyDIYchallenge day and I’m SO excited about this month’s project! In case you?re new to the challenge, here?s the general idea: on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, me and my fantastically creative bloggy pals and I create something based on a common theme and/or material. Sometimes we work with brands and sponsors, other times we don?t. Here are some of our recent challenge project materials: plumbing pieces, air dry clay, leather, Mod Podge, Sharpies, reclaimed wood, felt, and chalkboard paint! This month the material was white pillowcases and I’m super stoked about my project!

Y’all may or may not have noticed, but cacti are having a moment right now in the design world. Whether they’re real or faux, printed or crafted, you’re likely to see a cactus or two in every design catalog! I decided to jump into this fun and funky trend by making my very own DIY cactus pillow out of an old pillowcase I had lying around. Check out the tutorial below!
