Materials:

School glue
Paintbrush you're willing to sacrifice
Scraps of regular typing-weight paper or giftwrap
Polymer sealant
Eye-screw
Bottle with cork
Embellishments
Stamped images (embossed works best)

Optional materials:

Glitter
Lumiere™ paint (or the likes of)

Directions:

I used clearanced holiday wrapping paper and a big star-punch and punched out a bunch of stars from different colors, glued them on with Elmers on a paintbrush moistened with water. It's ok to paint the glue right over the top of them

Then I punched & stamped out different shapes and cut around them and then glued them down over the stars.

On the green one, I used diluted Lumiere™ paint over the whole thing and took a moist paper towel and blotted.

I used a water-based polymer sealant over the whole thing and sprinkled glitter on it.

Once it was very dry, I sprayed it with a gloss sealant.

For the cork, I took one of those eye-screws and screwed it into the top and attatched embellishments.
