For this project, you'll need, 1 beyblade hand spinner, 1 skewer, 1 brown paper bag, a set of paints and paint brushes, 4-5 plastic water bottle, 1 hot glue gun, 1 medium sized box, 1 straw, and a pair of scissors. To work this fountain, the user tugs the beyblade spinner's gear spinner causing the bottle to move and spout water from the straws.

The Spout

Take your straw and open the packaging. You can either save the wrapping for details later or throw it away. make marks in the straw at 3 cm, 9 cm, 15 cm, 18 cm, and 21 cm. After the 21 centimetres cut the rest of the straw off. Then make cuts on the marks halfway into the straw, except for the 21 cm mark. Then at the left side of your straw make a 1-2 cm slit at the end. Fold the ends up to make a triangle and you have your spout

Skewer the Triangle and Putting It in Your Bottle

For this step you'll need your skewer, water bottle, straw triangle, scissors, and hot glue gun. Take your skewer and pierce the triangle in the middle of the long side when the two ends meet, and also pierce it through the other side at the tip of the triangle. Take your plastic water bottle and cut the bottom of it off. Then take off the cap and hot glue the top of the water bottle top to the beyblade spinner. Then finally put hot glue on the skewer and stick it in the bottle and attach it to the beyblade spinner.

Painting and Making It Aesthetic

Take your extra bottles and cut them in half. Throw away the top half of the bottles. Then cut curves into the bottom parts of the bottles so they will curve around the center bottle. Make sure to make them different sizes. Then paint the bottles all different colors. This way it doesn't look all bland. Begin painting the brown paper bag blue so it looks like the fountain is in a body of water.

Attaching the Fountain

Finally, hot glue the paper bag to the bottom of the box and the bey blade spinner to the paper bag you painted. Then glue the other bottles to the paper bag and put them at an angle. Pour water into the water bottle.
