How did you get the shells in? Cut the bottom off? If so, how did you seal up the bottom?

The lamp is really awesome.....I've got a couple of cork floats and some driftwood. Shells and Sand. Light fixture. Rope. Bottle cutter from 70's. Just need a bottle! And answers to the above questions!!

You put them in when they're little babies....

1. I cut the bottom of the bottle off
2. Carved out the bottom float to fit the base of the bottle tightly.
3. Working upside down I filled the bottle with the sand and shells.
4. With my glue gun I sealed the bottom of the bottle with a round piece of cardstock cut to the diameter of the bottom of the bottle.
5. Used the glue gun again to seal the float to the bottom of the bottle.
