Country White Acrylic Paint (If using outdoors use an exterior paint)
Golden Brown Paint or paint of your choice

Use sharpie to draw on windows and door. Then paint the inside of windows/door with Black Acrylic Paint and let dry.

Decorate with whatever you would like. I used a thick Hemp around each Pot and hot glued it to rim.

Use any lantern you like for the top or just use the smallest pot.

Layer Pots smaller to largest you can glue them together but I wanted the option of taking them apart to store.

This is the monthly banner that I switch out each month. You can visit springbanner and seasonalbanner to make the background banner and this will give more detailed information on how to make them.

Each month I will be making a different theme to switch out on the same banner so be sure to check back if you want to make them.

You will need 8 different fabrics of your choice. Plus, the above supplies in picture and white natural batting.
