I imagine you'd plant a ring of cuttings, so you have clones to work with. Then you'd skin off a little bark on both trunks wherever you'd like them to join, maybe rub them with a little rooting hormone, then wrap them with grafting tape.
How about a 90 foot roll for $8? I've picked up mine from Amazon two years ago and I have yet to need to buy a new roll. I might have to buy a new roll probably sometime next year. This stuff goes a long way.
I got something like this, but there's so many listings on Amazon that look the same, I'd just go for the cheapest

Some people say parafilm is optional and you can use a plastic bag instead, but if you're going to do it, might as well try learning how to use this stuff:

Before the shears, I got one of these, but I reground the bevel to the other side because I was using it I guess opposite of how people normally hold it

I never tried this, but if you're not a fan of sharpening knives so they're super sharp, but you want to try using a knife, I saw a video where a guy suggested using something like this (not sure what size to get, I guess depends on how big the wood is):

Thank you! That is much cheaper than Parafilm, and looks different from the gardening film but is probably the same material. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085OFNVE/ref=pe_2640190_350905710_TE_3p_dp_1 I was mistaken too it's 90' not 250' but for $9 I'm eager to test nonetheless but yours is definitely interesting and I'm going to order some to test as well!
Ha! hope you find what you were looking for on Amazon. If you plan on shipping any of your sample bottles, this parafilm tape is great for sealing bottle tops to prevent leakage. You can also get the shrink sleeves for the bottles, but they can be a nuisance to use.
