These creative cactus creations cover the entire spectrum. From cacti pets, to cactus-shaped architecture and even prickly chairs, this is one plant that is as tough as nails.
While cactuses only need as much nurturing and love as a desert can provide, people have taking a shining to these seemingly inviting pieces of fauna and have incorporated it into art, design, fashion and more.
To see some creative cactus creations for yourself, check out the gallery.
