Instructions
- First, you need to choose an empty bottle and clean it up. If you plan to paint your bottle, be sure that you allow plenty of time for it to dry before you begin the project.
- Using your marker or sharpie, draw a door and windows on your detergent bottle.
- Once you have all of your doors and windows drawn, you can cut them out with your craft knife.
- Draw a black outline around your doors and windows to highlight them after you have cut them out.
- You need one or two pinecones to make the roof. Start by pulling the pinecones apart.

- Add your new DIY fairy house to your fairy garden! When it’s finished, your fairy house will look a bit like this one:
