- Paintbrushes
- Hot glue gun or strong adhesive

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating House-Shaped Pots
Step 1: Prepare the Bottles
Start by thoroughly cleaning the plastic bottles to remove any labels, sticky residue, or dirt. You can do this by rinsing them with warm soapy water and drying them completely. Once clean, decide whether you want to keep the bottle upright for a tall house shape or cut it in half for a shorter pot. For a more pronounced house effect, we suggest keeping the bottle whole for a taller design.
