Plant Coasters are 3 round cactus coasters placed in a decorative pot. Coasters are frequently arranged in unappealing ways in homes, making them appear ugly and out of place. Plant coasters are made to be both a decorative and practical addition to a comfortable eating or living area. They are designed to fit the environment of a cozy dining room/living room as a decor piece as well as a functional piece.

To create a cactus topper:

  4. Do the same thing with with the left plane
