Fasten them together with adhesive tape, in the center, on one side, make a hole for the spindle, put the discs on the spindle to get a flat surface on top. Center your chosen vase and trace around the bottom with a pencil. Glue several strips of duct tape in the designated area.

Wipe the entire vase with rubbing alcohol and secure it to the duct tape in the center of the disc.
