The Making of the Giant Margarita Glass

I started with a plastic bird bath and tipped it over.	Next, I attached a board on the top of the stem of the bird bath.
I shaped chicken wire around the edges of the board careful to keep the center hollowed out.	Next, I began the paper mache careful to not apply to much at one time because the chicken wire collapses due to the weight of the wet paper.
More paper, flour and water!	More paper, flour and water!
Again.......More paper, flour and water!
Next, I painted the glass with Margarita color paint. I then cut 2 pieces of foam in the shape of two shark fins, painted them and attached them upright to a large piece of foam. I wired and mounted a 12VDC gear motor in the center of the Margarita glass. I attached a 12VDC battery and the fins spin around in the Margarita glass for hours! The lime is made out of floral oasis which was painted lime green!
