Instructions
Cut top portion of bottle off with craft knife.
Remove the lid and set aside. Cut off the plastic band around the neck of the bottle.
Paint both halves of the bottle with colors of your choice. Allow to dry 30 minutes then repeat for a second coat.
Cut a window in the bottle half of the bottle, large enough to fit the tea light inside.
Cut slits halfway up the top half of the bottle, about 1-inch apart. Bend the ends of each slit upward so that they stick out.
Decorate the outside of the house with silk flowers.
Cover the bottle lid with silk leaves or flowers. Place lid back on the neck of the bottle.
Add some hot glue to the inside of the bottom half of the bottle and line the bottom with moss. Add tea light candle.
Place "roof" on top of the "house".
