Join three equal sized picture frames with any type of tape. Then make a triangle of the frames and apply hot glue to retain the shape of the frames in this form. Remove the tape and put this triangle picture frame enclosure on a dish. Fill it with fine gravel and then fix artificial cacti. This idea is great for those who have a brown thumb.
