Step Three: Take one of the wax papers and lay it down flat. Take your circles that you have hole punched and lay them all over the wax paper. Note: I used a little dab of glue to make sure my circles did not slide around, this is optional).

Step Four: Grab your second sheet of wax paper and lay it on top of the circles. Your cut outs/circles should be sandwiched between the two pieces of wax paper.

Step Five: Lay down your wine bottle at one end of the wax paper. Tightly roll up the wine bottle.

Step Six: Use clear tape to hold the wax paper in place.
