I don’t know really. The glue would definitely have to dry clear — maybe a crazy glue? I’d also make sure that the glue doesn’t eat through the plastic. It should say on the packaging whether or not it can be used to bond plastics. Crazy glue can be used on plastics, so you’d be okay there. Make sure you don’t glue your fingers together or to the bottles! The other thing I’d really recommend is washing the bottles really well before you start gluing them. Good luck! Send me a pic when you get it done!

They are so beautiful! I would love to try to do something like the green ball sculpture, what kind of glue should I use?
