  • Coat both the paper and wood with Mod Podge, and smooth the paper down thoroughly to remove any bubbles. Let dry for 15 - 20 minutes.

  • Take the screwdriver and attach the metal trim with one screw on each side. Make sure to pull the trim very tight so the bottle does not move.

Notes

Step 6: If you are nervous that the bottle might slip out, just add a little E-6000 or other tough glue on the back side of the glass (attach to the plaque).
