1.Layer Clay over the pyramid and basin neatly so that the water won't seep through the holes on the Styrofoam. (and also to make it stand out (¬‿¬) )

2.Pass one vinyl tube through the middle of the pyramid and middle of the basin and one though the bottom of the basin.

(also clog all unwanted holes in the basin except the tube)

Sewing Onto the Hat (optional)

If you wish to move around with this creation, do sew it onto the hat so it does not fall off.

The Motor

1.Connect the tubes to the water pump and power it then pour water into the basin or the pyramid ( don't put to much or when you take it for a spin it will get you all wet, I'm speaking from experience)

2.Enjoy
