Step One. Squeeze a 2-3 drops of glue into the bottle. You don’t need too much; a little goes a long way.

 Step Two. Cut the moss into shorter strands and add to the bottle. You can add as little or as much as you’d like.

Step Four. Take a 5-inch strand of wire and begin wrapping around the neck of the bottle.

Step Five. Add a 6mm jump ring to the flower charm.

Step Six. Add the charm to the wire.
