Sand off the sharp cut edges of both halves with the sandpaper provided with your kit. Clean both halves with glass cleaner.

Apply Quick Grip glue to spout of bottle and glue to center of glass coaster. Let dry.
Cut a piece of Fabric 3 inches wide and long enough to fit around the rim of the bottle..
Sew eyelet lace to one long edge of fabric. Fold over and hem the other long edge.
With right sides together, sew short raw edges together
Baste along hemmed edge of fabric and pull up threads until fabric fits snugly around cut opening of bottle and covers the lip. Tie and knot threads.
Add a bow or silk flower accent to front.
