The real fish floats can be cut but it is hard to do as they have small bubbles in them from being blown glass and this makes them crack easy. The glass you show on your float Bam Bam can be cut and it's not too hard to do. Try to find a plastic globe those cut well and have a nice glow once you find them. I have a large 10 to 12 inch blue one right now for sale but the shipping would kill ya to California. Good luck, look for a tapa shade and then you will find a float as you never find what you are looking for.
