Attach the top to the bottom by using a LOT of hot glue on the top edge of the bottom section. You could also use a heavier glue and wait for it to try. Attach wire for hanging.

      Hi Jill! Well I thought that info was on there but I see it’s not! I spent 15 mintues trying to locate files for that post I may have missed and could find none. Anyway, I just use a LOT of hot glue on the top edge of the bottom piece… and yes it will drip a bit, but quickly set the top part on. Then turn it upside down and add more glue where the top meets the bottom. I appreciate you pointing that out. I’m still going to research some more. That’s definitely a missing piece!
