I used three large bolts to connect a piece of wood which I could connect a makeshift handle to. After completing the project, however, I realized that it is much more effective to hold it by your waist, making the handle not needed.

Next Cut a Large Circle With a Diameter of About 1.75 Feet

Using the Top Portion of the Soda Bottle, Screw the Bottle Cap On, With the Thread Under the Circle.

Sink the Soda Bottle About Half Way Into the Bucket, Draw a Line Around Where the Canvas Touches, and Cut the Excess Off

Cover the Plastic in Duck Tape to Strengthen the Canvas and Prevent Any Rips

Drilling Holes on the Sides of the Bucket and Soda Bottle, Run the Tubing Through Both to Create Tension

By Filling It With Smoke and Shooting It Through Light, the Smoke Will Change Colors
