Fold over excess to back, cutting to miter where needed, applying mod podge and smooth flat.

If you use Modge Podge, and add a couple of extra coats it is a protective layer and a sealer for the paper.

This is a great idea. One thing you might want to add is to make some sort of protective cover for it, whether out of material, felt, crochet, etc., or even a self-made plastic cover to protect it from getting wet, damaged etc. during transport.
